LONGDALE, Okla.—Ryan Gustin captured the United States Modified Touring Series feature win Friday night as the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental kicked off the first of two days at the Longdale Speedway.
Gustin, who started fourth, disposed of early leader Stormy Scott and went on to secure the $3,000 victory in the MSD Central Region presented by Day Motor Sports.
The 76th career USMTS win for ‘The Reaper’ was worth $3,000 while Scott, who won here two years ago, held on to claim the runner-up spot behind Gustin.
Jeremy Payne was third, Thursday night’s winner, Cade Dillard finished fourth and last year’s Longdale winner, Johnny Scott, rounded out the top five.
Points leader Jason Hughes was sixth, Dereck Ramirez earned a seventh-place paycheck, Jesse Sobbing started and finished eighth, rookie contender Mike Jergens nabbed the ninth spot and Chad Wheeler completed the top 10.
A second night of USMTS excitement happens Saturday at Longdale with drivers duking it out for a $4,000 top prize thanks to a boost from Rancho Milagro in Taos, N.M.
Saturday’s event will be held in memory of Alyssa Ramirez, who lost her life in a tragic car accident near Woodward, Okla., on Jan. 29.
Pit gates will open at 4 p.m. with grandstands opening at 5:30, hot laps at 6:30 and opening ceremonies at 7:30 with heat races immediately following. Also on the card are IMCA Mods and Sport Mods.
Adult grandstand tickets are $15, seniors and military with ID are $12 and kids ages 6-12 get in for $5. Children 5 and under are admitted free of charge. Pit passes are $35.
