Sanders puts another feather in his hat, adds Featherlite Fall Jamboree to 2014 conquests
SPRING VALLEY, Minn.-Rodney Sanders continued dancing through his dream season Saturday night, leading all 50 laps of the Featherlite Fall Jamboree championship at the Deer Creek Speedway.
The seemingly unstoppable 24-year-old from Happy, Texas, added another crown jewel to his ever-expanding collection of accolades.
He won $10,000 at King of America IV in March, $20,000 at the World Modified Dirt Track Championship in July and boosted his bank account by $12,000 with his win Saturday.
Starting the three-wide 30-car main event from the outside of the front row, Sanders took charge on the first lap and never relinquished the lead despite heavy pressure early on from Stormy Scott and a late-race charge by Terry Phillips.
"At the beginning of the year, I never could have imagined having this kind of season," Sanders said in victory lane. "I'm so lucky to have the sponsors and crew around me that I do to make this all work. None of this happens without them.
A Friday night preliminary winners at the Featherlite Fall Jamboree two years ago, this was the first Jamboree championship for Sanders.
"This is so big. With the level of competition here and the prestige this event carries, it's a real special race to win-maybe my biggest ever."
Scott, who started on the pole, shadowed Sanders for the first 45 laps as they diced through heavy lapped traffic but could never inch in front of 'The Rocket.'
With five laps to go, the race's third and final caution waved and 16th-starting Terry Phillips used the opportunity to pounce on Scott and seize the second spot.
But the 2011 Featherlite Fall Jamboree didn't have the muscle to make a move on Sanders and had to settle for the $7,000 runner-up paycheck.
Scott held off a late charge from Brandon Davis to capture the $5,200 third-place loot while his teammate and car owner, Bryan Rowland, rounded out the top five.
Brad Dierks was sixth, Brent Larson finished seventh, Lucas Schott earned an eighth-place finish, Jesse Glenz nabbed the ninth spot and Tommy Myer was the tenth driver to cross beneath the checkered flag.
Schott, who won Friday night's main event, started 26th and passed 18 competitors to earn a $1,000 bonus from Randy & Patty Eastvold.
The Eastvolds-long-time supporters of racing at the Deer Creek Speedway-also added $1,000 to Sanders' winnings and another $1,000 to the 11th-place finisher in memory of Jason Krohn's daughter, Natalie, who would have been 11 years old.
Nine-time USMTS national champion Kelly Shryock finished 11th.
In addition, Widow Wax added $1,000 each to the take-home pay for the top three finishers in the main event.
Steve Whiteaker Jr., who traveled nearly 24 hours to get here from Corpus Christi, Texas, on Tuesday, held off Zack VanderBeek for most of the 25-lap Non-Qualifiers Race, and then pulled away in the closing laps to seal the win and $2,000 accompanying prize.
Ninety-seven different drivers took part in this year's Featherlite Fall Jamboree.
With a packed house on hand to witness the Best of the Best, Saturday night's 50/50 ticket winner took home $3,330.
The 17th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree is set for Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 24-26, 2015, at the Deer Creek Speedway. Tickets will go on sale this winter at www.deercreekspeedway.com and campground reservations are available now.

Sorensen, 13, wires Iron Man USRA B-Mods in 16th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree finale
SPRING VALLEY, Minn.-Dustin Sorensen of Rochester, Minn., nailed the biggest win of his young career Saturday night as he led all 25 laps en route to capturing the USRA B-Mod main event at during the 16th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree.
The 13-year-old son of many-time Deer Creek Speedway champion Mike Sorensen started the feature race from the pole position and was never challenged in the 32-car race that featured a three-wide start.
The win was worth $1,000, and may be the first and only victory for the youngster in the Iron Man Challenge as he announced during his victory lane interview that a move to full-blown Modifieds was his plan for 2015.
Shaun Walski gave chase but could never get close enough to make a serious challenge for the lead and had to settle for the runner-up paycheck.
USRA B-Mod national points leader Chad Clancy passed a dozen drivers from his 15th starting spot and garnered third, track champion Jacob Bleess wound up fourth and Cullen DeRuyter finished where he started in fifth.
Alex Williamson, Cory Crapser, Kadden Kath, Trevor Fecht and Erik Kanz rounded out the top 10.
Crapser, who came into the three-day event as the Iron Man Challenge points leader in the USRA B-Mod division, started 21st on the grid and passed 14 of his peers to earn the Hard Charger Award bonus.
Crapser continues to lead the Iron Man Challenge standings by 74 points (1347 to 1273) over Dan Wheeler with just three points races remaining. Bleess is third with 1127 markers, followed by Jared Timmerman (1109), Dustin Kruse (721), Dan Hovden (666), Fecht (644), Kanz (631), Clancy (570) and Williamson (519).
The 17th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree is set for Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 24-26, 2015, at the Deer Creek Speedway. Tickets will go on sale this winter at www.deercreekspeedway.com and campground reservations are available now.
