Cain Draws
First Blood in Mod Wars Opener
OGILVIE, Minn. (July 14)
— The Ogilvie
Raceway in Ogilvie, Minn., hosted opening night of the
2nd Annual Mod Wars presented by JPW/Jobbers Warehouse
Supply and Northern Line Contracting for the Summit
USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt.
When the checkered flag waved, it was a veteran dirt
modified racer finally scoring his first USMTS win
Tyler
Wolff made the best of his Sybesma Graphics Pole Award,
jumping into the lead at the drop of the green flag
while Wissota veteran Dave Cain gave chase.
By
lap 10, Wolff stretched out his lead margin to more than
three seconds but a caution with 12 laps in the books
erased Wolff’s margin.
Unphased by the slowdown,
Wolff again pulled away from his chasers when the green
light shined again. Meanwhile, Cain was having a sporty
tussle with Lucas Schott, Shane Sabraski and Dustin
Sorensen for the remaining positions among the top 5
runners.
Wolff’s advantage was more than four
seconds with four laps to go when he came upon a swarm
of soon-to-be lapped cars. With most competitors finding
the bottom line to their liking, Wolff got underneath
his first victim but the lapper came down into the
leader and Wolff became the victim.
Cain assumed
the lead position for the restart and then fended off a
last-lap challenge from Sorensen to take the victory—his
first USMTS triumph and the second first-time winner
this week
Schott, Sabraski and defending USMTS
National Champion Dereck Ramirez rounded out the top 5
while 10th-starting Tanner Mullens, 12th-starting Zack
VanderBeek, 18th-starting Kyle Brown, 17h-starting J.T.
Johnson and 22-starting Clayton Wagamon completed the
first 10 to the finish line.
With his $3,000
triumph, Cain became the 10th different winner in the
20th race for the USMTS in 2022. He’s also the fifth
driver this year to claim his career-first USMTS win.
Rounds 2 and 3 on tap: Mod Wars
continues Friday and Saturday at the Ogilvie Raceway as
they battle for $5,000 to win Friday and $11,000 to win
Saturday.
Wissota Midwest Modifieds, Wissota Mod
Fours and Wissota Hornets join the program both nights.
The pits and grandstands open at 5 p.m., hot laps begin
at 6 and racing gets underway at 7 each day.
The
Ogilvie Raceway is a high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval
located less than one hour north of the twin cities on
Highway 23 or 5 miles west of Highway 65 or 11 miles
east from Highway 169 in Milaca, Minn., or 1 mile east
of Highway 47 in Ogilvie. For more information, visit
ogilvieraceway.com.
On Sunday, the whirlwind week
wraps up with the series’ annual visit to the Casino
Speedway for the 13th Annual NAPA Auto Parts Summersota
Modified Nationals where a packed house of rabid fans
are expected to make their pilgrimage to the
quarter-mile high-banked bullring.
