Chateau Speedway in Lansing, Minn., on Friday, May 27.
The Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.,
hosts the 19th Annual USMTS Southern MN Spring Challenge

FRIDAY, MAY 27
CHATEAU SPEEDWAY LANSING, MN
13TH
ANNUAL EVENT
It's
been nearly six years since the roar of the USMTS
Modifieds filled the air at the Chateau Speedway just
outside of Austin, Minn. Zack VanderBeek led 82 of the
last 84 laps here but only found the checkered flag once
during the 2016 season. Lucas Schott inherited the lead
when VanderBeek shredded a tire with two laps to go on
July 29 but came back labor Day weekend to lead all 42
laps.
It should be noted that the main events
that year had two additional laps added in honor of
Grant Junghans who passed away in March that year at
just 27 years of age. One of the most popular racers in
USMTS history, he drove car No. 2 and the USMTS Rookie
of the Year Award has since been named in his honor.
