  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: USMTS series leader Sorensen looks to extend Wheatland success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 3, 2022) - Growing up in the cold winters of southeastern Minnesota, Dustin Sorensen loved playing ice hockey as a slap-shooting forward. Rising to the level of top-level youth hockey, Sorensen was on the fast track toward possibly becoming a college recruit. But all the while, another fast-paced sport - one that had deep roots in his family - fought for his attention. Young Dustin had a knack for racing dirt modifieds. He was winning B-Mod races as a 12-year-old and, by the time he was officially old enough to drive, was ready to graduate into A Mods. Dustin's dad, Mike, had been a big winner in USRA Modifieds for several years before hanging up his helmet. "After high school, I decided that I wanted to stick to racing," Sorensen said of the choice he had to make between his two favorite sports. It's been a solid decision as the 21-year-old has become one of the nation's best, leading the USMTS standings with the home stretch of the season beginning. Sorensen rolls into Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday for the 13th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment atop the championship chase and on a track that he likes. Second in the Show-Me Shootout last August, Sorensen swept all three nights of the USRA Modified portion of the 2021 USRA Nationals at Wheatland. The Rochester, Minnesota driver begins a three-race weekend USMTS swing 107 points in front of Tanner Mullens and 179 clear of third-place Dereck Ramirez, the reigning series and Show-Me Shootout champ. While drivers in his position often deny thinking about points, Sorensen is honest about his situation, with 15 races remaining in the USMTS season. "That's our goal, to win the points," Sorensen said. "Every night, I'm trying to at least finish and not put myself in any bad situations. I'll be a little more cautious, but winning is still the main goal, every night. "I wasn't really expecting to be in the situation that we're in now, but I wanted to be. My goal at the start was to try and make a run at the national points deal." It wasn't that long ago that Sorensen began racing "Slingshot" cars on a small oval inside the main track at Deer Creek Speedway. After moving into the B Mod, he said his summers were extremely busy with racing and travel hockey. He said he was "all right" as a hockey player and that his dad wishes he had chosen hockey. "He's still a little made I gave it up for racing," Dustin Sorensen said. "He thought that would have been a little smarter choice, at least when I was a little younger." Sorensen said he even move to Omaha as a high school sophomore to play on an elite team, but returned to Minnesota after that season. "That was interfering with racing," he said of being several hours from home, "so then I moved back home and played regular high school hockey and raced," he said. Eventually, he gave up the skates and stick. A fan of the NHL's Minnesota Wild, Sorensen said there might be some correlation between the hand-eye coordination that it takes to play hockey and drive a race car, where instant reaction is vital to success. The toughness he learned from hockey, especially on the mental side, is a definite benefit. "I think it's huge with racing," Sorensen said. "You see guys get on hot streak and then kind of fade for a little while and then are able to come back. Confidence is a huge thing." Asked about future goals in racing, Sorensen said he doesn't spent a lot of time thinking about it, though driving a dirt Late Model would be appealing if sponsorship became available. Otherwise, the focus is on the near term. "We have 15 races left and the next three are what I have on my mind right now," he said. The three-race swing for the USMTS begins on Thursday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, and continues Friday at Humboldt Speedway.

  Brandon Overton Gets First Career Gopher 50 Win at Deer Creek

  Spring Valley, MN (July 9, 2022) - In front of a record crowd at Deer Creek Speedway, Brandon Overton held off Chris Madden's furious charge to win the NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50 on Saturday night. Overton earned $50,000 for his victory in the co-sanctioned Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil MLRA Series and denied Madden an additional $25,000 bonus. When Overton took the race lead on lap 23, he had to hold off both Madden and Tim McCreadie as both of those drivers were breathing down his neck when a caution flag came out with three laps to go. McCreadie and Mike Marlar also led laps during the race. On the restart Overton held his line to score his third Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the year and first big payday of 2022, winning by 0.514 seconds over Madden. McCreadie with his third-place finish is now the new Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point leader with the series heading to I-70 Speedway in Missouri on Thursday night for the first time. Brandon Sheppard who entered the event as the series points leader finished 20th and now trails McCreadie by 50 points in the chase for the $150,000 to win national championship this year. Both front row starters for the richest race ever at Deer Creek, Jonathan Davenport and Madden accepted the money challenge of a $25,000 bonus from Tralo Companies and Speedwerx they would give up their front starting positions and start 11th and 12th. If one of those two drivers would have won the race, they would have earned a $75,000 payday for winning the race. Marlar finished in fourth with Ricky Weiss rounding out the top five finishers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 14th time in his career Overton becomes the sixth different winner in six series races that have paid $30,000 or more to win in 2022. "I probably just got lucky there at the end. You have heard of the phrase 'sittin' duck' that's what I felt out there. I know Madden had come from a ways back. I tried to not slip the tires there on that last restart. He (Madden) has been awfully good. Like I said, what an unbelievable feeling to get us one at Deer Creek. I am as happy as I could be." With the win Overton now joins Chris Ferguson (Show-Me 100), Jonathan Davenport (Historic 100), Chris Madden (Mountain Moonshine Classic), Tim McCreadie (Firecracker 100), and Brandon Sheppard (Freedom 60) as crown-jewel cup winners in 2022. Madden, who started 12th had a run-on Overton until the Stop Tech caution flew with three to go, did not regret his decision. "No, not at all we had the $75,000 won and we had a lapped car three laps down get into the right front of my car, without that we are celebrating in victory lane. We had the best car, and we came from 12th and put on a heck of show for these fans. Thanks to all of the fans for coming out and supporting us and thanks for putting up the extra money and giving us a shot at it. We came up one spot short. Congratulations to Brandon on the win." Madden took home $20,000 for his runner-up finish. McCreadie, the reigning series champion still had a shot for the win at the end of the race but rounded out the podium in third. "I try my hardest, but at that point once Chris got by me, he did such a good job. Knowing where he started, I was trying as hard as I could I just kind of had a catbird's seat to see what those two were going to do at the end." McCreadie earned $10,000 for his third-place run. The winner's Wells Motorsports-owned Longhorn Chassis is powered by Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Allstar Concrete, Crossfit Overton, Garnto Southern, Penske Racing Shocks, Convenient Lube, R.W. Powell Construction, Big Dog Stump and Tree, Clean Way Clearing and Grading, VP Fuels, Dirt Mafia, EZ-GO, and Angry Elephant Tattoos and Piercings. Completing the top ten were Tyler Erb, Ricky Thornton Jr., Daulton Wilson, Jonathan Davenport, and Brent Larson.

  Davenport Dominates Friday Night Preliminary at Deer Creek

  SPRING VALLEY, MN (July 8, 2022) - Jonathan Davenport made quick work of the Friday night preliminary feature at Deer Creek Speedway, leading all 25 laps to score his 60th career win in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. Davenport grabbed the lead at the start of the main event which saw back-to-back caution flags after one lap was completed. The rest of the race went caution-free and was virtually clear sailing for the 38-year-old Georgia native as he beat Brandon Overton to the finish line by 1.601 seconds. Tim McCreadie finished in third followed by Mike Marlar and Kyle Strickler, who recorded his first top-five finish of the season with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. Davenport battled heavy traffic in the latter part of the race allowing Overton to close the gap, but he could only get to within two car lengths of Davenport when the checkers fell. For Davenport, a three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, it was his second series win of 2022. "It was really a key to get out front early. I think our car was pretty good," said Davenport, who turned down a chance at a $10,000 bonus if he would have elected to start 11th in the field and won the race. "The track was a little bit different tonight than last night. It was still really good. Brandon [Overton] gave me all I wanted there I could tell he was closing I could hear him there a couple of times. I just had to change my rhythm up, change my line down to the bottom. I got through lapped traffic pretty good there and there weren't too many who held me up. That's been my Achilles' heel here lately has been leading in lapped traffic." Overton, who will be shooting for his first $50,000 victory of the season in Saturday night's NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50, recorded his ninth podium finish with the series this year. "I actually over slid a couple of guys one time and I about got in the fence there. It was a fun race, and we are definitely getting the car better so it's something to be happy about. You always want to win them, it's always so tough there is a bunch of good competition here. These guys are the best so to be mixing it up with them you have to feel good." McCreadie, who won the Firecracker 100 two weeks ago at Lernerville Speedway, has his sights set on another big payday on Saturday, rounded out the podium. "You just have to go to your notebook and listen to the team and be better. We need a little more. I thought when I got to second, I would be ok, but on the restart, I was hung up there on the outside, so I took the bottom and got beat either way. So, we will get back to what we had done here years ago and look around and hopefully come up with something special tomorrow." The winner's Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Spartan Mowers, ASC Warranty, Bilstein Shocks VP Fuels, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Tyler Bruening, Chris Madden, Earl Pearson Jr., Jimmy Owens, and Johnny Scott.

  Madden Takes Thursday Night Preliminary Feature at Deer Creek

  SPRING VALLEY, MN (July 7, 2022) - Chris Madden snuck by Brandon Sheppard and Jonathan Davenport with five laps to go to win the 25-lap preliminary feature on Thursday night at Deer Creek Speedway. It was Madden's first race back after winning last month's Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned Mountain Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Tennessee. Madden came from the eleventh starting spot using the low line around the 3/8-mile high-banked oval. Sheppard came home in second followed by Davenport, Tim McCreadie, and Mike Marlar. Sheppard took the lead at the start of the main event. He and Davenport ran one-two in the race trading sliders in an exciting battle for the top spot. Madden was utilizing the very bottom of the racing surface as he from third to the lead in a single lap to take the win. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the third time in 2022, Madden still showed signs of recovering from a bout with pneumonia the last few weeks. "I just figured out a good line right there where I didn't have to stop entering to get off the corner on the bottom. My car was good enough to lay out and turn and go back to the bottom and leave the bottom as fast as the top where they were running. In one and two I think we were about even with those guys in three and four I was better." "I am still down on my strength. We are still working on it. I've got a great family at home and a great wife who took care of me while I was home," said the 47-year-old South Carolina native who is the midst of the best season of his racing career. Sheppard, who led more laps than anyone during the feature saw his battle with Davenport upstaged by Madden's late race run to the front. "Our car was really good there. I felt like I was going a little bit hard there early. I think it got my tires hot there. I could take off really good on the restarts and get rolling there and after that last one me and JD started sliding each other and that was a lot of fun. Then Madden sneak attacked us there. It was a good race. We were right there with them at the end. After I started hustling there at the end, I thought I should have been doing that the whole time." Davenport, the 3-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion rounded out the podium in third. "He [Madden] snookered us on the bottom. I felt I had a really good car especially the longer we ran the better we got. I felt like I really got a run-on Sheppard there, so I was going to try and break his momentum and I didn't really realize Chris was quite that close to us." The winner's Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Drydene Performance Products, Henderson Amusement, Franklin Enterprises, Penske Racing Shocks, Millwood Plumbing, VP Fuels, Worley Monument, DirtCar Lift, Davis Diesel Service, and Swift Springs.
