Rodney Sanders Sweeps USMTS Weekend; Five-Day Run Next

Happy, Texas (06/22/15) – Rodney Sanders extended his current win streak to six over the weekend with three more triumphs aboard his #20 Swan Energy/MB Customs Open Wheel Modified.

Continuing on the United States Modified Tour Series (USMTS) schedule, Rodney Sanders made the trip to 81 Speedway (Park City, Kansas) on Thursday evening. Coming off three-straight wins in USMTS competition, Rodney continued his streak to advance three spots in his heat race to record a win. With a total field of 58 Open Wheel Modifieds, Rodney Sanders never looked back from his pole position starting spot in the finale to record his fourth straight feature win. Sanders picked up $3,000 for his efforts, ousting Johnny Scott, Ryan Gustin, Grant Junghans and Brian Franz in the 40-lap A-Main.

On Friday night Rodney continued action with the USMTS by making the trek to Red River Speedway (Wichita Falls, Texas). With another packed house of 36 Open Wheel Modifieds, Sanders landed the #20 Kimrad Transport Modified in victory lane for the fifth straight night. Charging from 7th to 2nd in his heat, Rodney went on to lead every lap of the 40-lap Casey’s General Store A-Main. Jesse Sobbing, Dereck Ramirez, Triston Dycus and Johnny Scott completed the top five.

Rodney Sanders visited Route 66 Motor Speedway (Amarillo, Texas) on Saturday night in hopes of keeping his USMTS streak afloat with six wins.

“Just wow, that’s about all that I can say,” an elated Sanders commented after his sixth win. “There’s a tough field of drivers on this tour so any win is big, much less six in a row. With another busy stretch of racing in front of us, hopefully we can continue to win.”
