Masters
Finale Goes To USMTS Champ Ramirez
NEW RICHMOND, Wis. (June 18)
—
A week
void of good luck and sprinkled with some bad luck
forced Dereck Ramirez to do what fans have become
accustomed to—figuring it all out for the finale and
heading home with the biggest check.
It happened
again Saturday night as Ramirez was the class of the
field for the final night of the 23rd Annual Masters at
the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. It was the
22nd win of his USMTS career but first at this
racetrack.
The defending champion of the Summit
USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt,
Ramirez drew the No. 4 chip to put his No. 4R machine in
the fourth starting spot for the 30-car, 45-lap main
event.
But it was Jake O’Neil earning the Sybesma
Graphics Pole Award for the third night in a row, and in
position to backup his winning effort on Friday night.
O’Neil jumped out to an early lead but it was
obvious this would not be a runaway as Clayton Wagamon
tore up the cushion by taking the longest way around the
high-banked 3/8-mile oval.
For Wagamon, it was
the fastest way though and he blasted ahead of O’Neil to
take the lead with five laps in the books. His lead
lasted 13 laps before Ramirez used the middle of the
racetrack to maneuver his way into the top spot.
Ramirez never trailed again as he was able to navigate
heavy lapped traffic in the closing laps to keep a
charging O’Neil behind him at the checkers.
The
win was worth $10,000 to the 35-year-old from Woodward,
Okla., and his third of the season.
Between
Ramirez, O’Neil (6 wins) and points leader Dustin
Sorensen (4 wins) three trio have claimed 13 of the 18
feature races in 2022. Those same three won all three
Masters main event this weekend.
Behind O’Neil,
Jake Timm finished third while never leaving the top
five and Friday’s runner-up Tanner Mullens held off
Sorensen for the fourth spot.
Rodney Sanders was
sixth, Wagamon secured the seventh position, eighth went
to Zack VanderBeek, Dan Ebert capped off a strong week
in ninth and Terry Phillips rounded out the top 10.
24 before 5: The USMTS drivers and
teams will be on hiatus for the next 24 days—or in many
cases they’ll be looting other dirt modified
shows—before embarking on a huge week featuring five
main events at three different racetracks.
The
series returns to action on Tuesday, July 12, at the
Mason City Motor Speedway in Mason City, Iowa, for the
3rd Annual Mod Mania, and then it’s the annual return to
“The Big O” for the 2nd Annual Mod Wars on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, July 14-16, at the Ogilvie Raceway
In Ogilvie, Minn.
The whirlwind return to battle
wraps up Sunday, July 17, with the 13th Annual
Summersota Nationals at the Casino Speedway in
Watertown, S.D.—one of the most popular stops on tour
year after year.
