USMTS Returns
to Cedar Lake Speedway for 23rd Annual Masters
NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (June 13)
—
The
season’s second crown jewel awaits as the 23rd Annual
Masters features three nights of action-packed racing
with complete programs each night for the Summit USMTS
National Championship presented by RacinDirt this
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 16-18.
This
year’s blockbuster at the Cedar Lake Speedway in New
Richmond, Wis., will feature Summit USMTS Modifieds
competing on Thursday for $3,000 to win before upping
the ante on Friday with a $5,000-to-win show followed by
Saturday’s $10,000-to-win championship event.
Super Late Models will be competing for the same prize
money each night.
USRA Late Models will also run
a complete program each night with $600 to win Thursday
and Friday before climbing to a $1,000 top prize on
Saturday, and all three nights will award Summit USRA
Weekly Racing Series national points.
Coming off
a series-best fifth win of 2022 this past Saturday at
the Belleville High Banks, Jake O'Neil of Tucson, Ariz.,
is right where he wants to be as he enters this weekend
as the defending winner of the Masters.
The USMTS
Modifieds made their debut at the Cedar Lake Speedway in
2001 with Tim Donlinger winning the Badger State
Championship. Trent Follmer garnered his first and only
USMTS victory in the 2002 edition of the event.
The series then became part of the Masters tradition in
2011 with Ryan Gustin winning both ends of a
rain-delayed program. He returned in 2012 to top opening
night at the Masters but it was Rodney Sanders capturing
the finale.
Sanders matched that by winning the
opener in 2013 before the finale was pushed back two
months by inclement weather. Johnny Scott was the winner
when returned for some unfinished business on Aug. 14.
No driver has had more success inside the golden
guardrail of the Cedar Lake Speedway than Sanders,
registering seven of his 111 USMTS triumphs here.
Gustin's not far behind in either category with five of
his 103 wins happening at CLS.
In addition to
O'Neil, Scott, Follmer and Donlinger, everybody else has
just one career USMTS win here including Brad Dierks,
Jason Hughes, Austin Arneson, Zack VanderBeek, Stormy
Scott, Dustin Sorensen, Terry Phillips and A.J. Diemel.
The pit gate opens at 2
p.m. each day and spectator gates open at 5. Drivers
will gather for their pit meeting at 6 with hot laps at
6:30 and racing at 7 all three nights.
Thursday’s
general admission tickets are $30 for everybody 17 and
older, students ages 6-16 are $15 and pit passes are
$35. On Friday, general admission is $35, students are
$17 and pit passes are $40. Saturday’s general admission
tickets are $40, students are $20 and pit passes are
$45.
Kids ages 5 and under are admitted free of
charge every day. Reduced two and three-day advanced
tickets are available by calling
(612) 363-0479 if ordered
at least two days before the event. You can also get
