T-Minus 10
Days to Featherlite Fall Jamboree Launch at ‘The Creek’
SPRING VALLEY, Minn.
(Sept. 12)—The Best of the Best are preparing for the
24th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree which launches
Thursday, Sept. 22, and continues through the finale on
Saturday, Sept. 24.
The Summit USMTS National
Championship presented by RacinDirt comes to town for
America’s dirt modified racing marquee event at the Deer
Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., and another
packed house is expected.
This year’s event will
feature a $3,000-to-win USRA Modified race on Thursday
followed by a $5,000-to-win feature on Friday and
culminating with a $12,000 top prize for Saturday’s
winner of the 30-car main event that will start
three-wide.
Saturday’s annual Non-Qualifiers Race
will pay $2,000 to win and $250 to start for the next 30
racers that fail to make the 30-car main event.
Again this year, USRA B-Mods will be racing all three
nights. With a new twist, competitors will race in twin
features for $500 to win each on Thursday and Friday and
then $1,500 to win Saturday’s finale. Summit USRA Weekly
Racing Series national points are up for grabs all three
nights.
More than any other racetrack, the
high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval located in the rolling
hills of Southern Minnesota will be hosting Summit USMTS
Modifieds for the 120th time on Thursday, and the list
of former USMTS winners at ‘The Creek’ could be the
names in dirt modified racing’s half of fame.
Nine-time USMTS national champ Kelly Shryock won the
first-ever contest here in 2002—his first of 10 at Deer
Creek. Rodney Sanders has garnered 11 checkered flags
here but both take a back seat to Jason Hughes who has a
series-best 14 victories.
Ryan Gustin has seven
wins while Tim Donlinger and Terry Phillips each have
five, along with Brandon Davis—the track’s all-time
winningest driver—and Jake O’Neil who is the two-time
defending Featherlite Fall Jamboree champ.
Jason
Cummins and Brad Waits have four apiece while Cade
Dillard, Zack VanderBeek and Joey Jensen note three
wins. Two-time winners include Corey Dripps, Jason
Krohn, Ryan Ruter, Stormy Scott, Lucas Schott, Johnny
Scott, Dustin Sorensen and Dereck Ramirez.
Drivers who have visited victory lane here one time
include Mark Noble, Steve Wetzstein, Darin Walker, Tony
Fraise, Dan Daniels, Chad Kinder, Mark Burgtorf, Brad
McEwan, Randy Timms, Dean Mahlstedt, Tommy Myer, Mike
Sorensen, Mike Spaulding, Dan Chapman, Les Duellman,
Mike Hejna, Steve Arpin, Jon Tesch, Jordan Grabouski,
Jeremy Payne, Craig Thatcher, Tommy Weder Jr., Jacob
Bleess, Jake Timm and Jim Chisholm.
O’Neil swept
the pandemic-shortened two-day weekend last year. Only
Jason Hughes has swept all three days of the Featherlite
Fall Jamboree. He did it in 2015.
