Cornett Race
Engines Collects Second Compstar/JE Pistons USMTS Engine
Builder Award
SOMERSET, Kentucky (October 31)
With the
Summit USMTS National Championship presented by
RacinDirt ending on Saturday, October 29, at the 81
Speedway, Cornett Race Engines has officially earned the
Compstar/JE Pistons USMTS Engine Builder of the Year
Award for the 2022 season.
This is the second
straight USMTS powerplant prize for the company based
out of Somerset, Kentucky. After securing the title last
year with 15 feature wins, that was nearly topped this
year as Cornett Racing Engines captured 14 USMTS main
event wins.
Most of the points scored for Cornett in
the USMTS contest were earned by 2021 USMTS National
Champion Dereck Ramirez and Jake O'Neil.
Established in 1948 by I.J. Red Cornett, the business
has evolved in its 70+ years of existence. He was just
inducted in the Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame in August
2019 along with his son, Jack Cornett. Former Kentucky
Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Jack Roush was a close
friend of the Cornetts, who built the first engine for
Roushs racecar.
Cornett Racing Engines is also
an eight-time Engine Builder of the Year recipient with
the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. To learn more,

Engines has won it three times, Hatfield Racing Engines
has two and the award has been bestowed one time to
Durham Racing Engines, Geddes Racing Engines and Pro
