Jesse Lowe Celebrates Weekend Win and Wedding

Crossville, Tennessee (09/26/17) – Tennessee racer, Jesse Lowe enjoyed a fantastic weekend on-and-off the track. Not only did he claim the 21st win of 2017 in his Xtreme Pressure Washing #5j Hampton Backhoe Service CVR Late Model on Friday evening, but he also married the lady of his dreams on Saturday.

“What more could a guy ask for,” Lowe laughed. “I guess you could say I doubled up on wins over the weekend. I won another race on Friday night, and then on Saturday I married an amazingly beautiful lady. Just a great weekend for sure.”

Powering the McBurnett Insurance #5j Crate Late Model, Jesse Lowe invaded Crossville Speedway (Crossville, Tennessee) on Friday evening, competing in a field of 10 entries. Starting the night by recording the fastest time in qualifying, Lowe then cruised to his 21st win of the season in the feature, topping Josh Henry, Perry Delaney, Deke Water, and Floyd Turner.

Jason Hughes Claims Fourth USMTS Crown

Westville, Oklahoma (09/26/17) – Jason Hughes competed in the 19th annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree over the weekend at Minnesota’s Deer Creek Speedway, where he claimed his fourth-career United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) championship in his Henryetta Ford #12 Red Tail Tackle/ Hughes Chassis/ Mullins Racing Engine Modified.

“This championship might be the most special because I know there was a lot of unknowns after my hard wreck at Thunderbird Speedway back in July,” Hughes noted. “However, there is no quit in this team, and we were able to come out and perform at a top level pretty much every night of the Hunt this year. Our consistency was the driving factor behind this title.

“I want to thank my family, my sponsors, my team, and my fans for their support. This championship is dedicated to all of them.”

Kicking off the 19th annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree, Jason Hughes was one 98 Open Wheel Modifieds on hand at Deer Creek Speedway (Spring Valley, Minnesota) on Thursday night for the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) sanctioned weekend. Jumping one spot in his heat race, Hughes landed a 2nd-place finish behind Cade Dillard, positioning him 14th on the starting grid for the $6,000-to-win A-Main. Breaking into the Top 10, Jason improved six positions in the 40-lapper to place 8th.

With his performance on Thursday night, Jason captured his third-straight USMTS national title and fourth overall.

Returning on Friday, Hughes started the night off with a 12-lap heat race victory, earning him the 5th-starting position for the feature. Working his way into a podium spot, Jason gained two positions, registering a 3rd-place finish behind Ryan Gustin and Lucas Schott with Cade Dillard and Zack VanderBeek completing the Top-5 finishers.

Closing out the three-day Featherlite Fall Jamboree on Saturday, Hughes recorded a 2nd-place finish in his heat behind Stormy Scott, transferring him into the B-Main. Sending the Top 3 into the $10,000-to-win finale, Jason captured a 15-lap consolation victory locking him into the 16th-starting position for the feature. Advancing through the field 12 spots, Jason Hughes reeled in a 4th-place finish behind Ryan Gustin, Zack VanderBeek, and Stormy Scott with Joe Duvall rounding out the Top 5.

Complete results and the latest standings can be found at www.USMTS.com .

Jason will now enjoy a break from racing before returning to competition on October 19-22 at Southern New Mexico Speedway (Las Cruces, New Mexico) in the 18th annual Rancho Milagro Fall Nationals. The event culminates with a $20,000-to-win finale.

Tyler Erb Gets Back to Terbo; Deep Fried 75 Next

New Waverly, Texas (09/26/17) – The past few months have been quite the challenge for Tyler Erb in his First Class Septic #91 New Point Lighting and Design/ Rocket XR1 Chassis /Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model. However, last weekend he got things back on track as he competed in a triple header Kansas and Oklahoma.

Tyler Erb returned to competition with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series on Friday night at Lakeside Speedway (Lakeside, Kansas), where the event posted a $10,000, top prize. With 21 cars on hand, Erb posted a 3rd-place finish in his heat race, locking him into the 8th-starting position for the opening night feature. Coming one spot shy of a Top 10 finish, Tyler slipped back to an 11th-place outing.

On Saturday night Tyler headed to Salina Highbanks Speedway (Salina, Oklahoma) for the Bravado Wireless Green County 50. Slipping five spots in his heat, Erb recorded a 7th place finish transferring him into the A-Main with the 19th-starting position. Passing six cars in the 50-lapper, Tyler reeled in a 13th-place finish.

The following night Erb stopped at 81 Speedway (Park City, Kansas) to close out the World of Outlaws-sanctioned, tripleheader weekend. After laying down the second-fastest time in qualifying, Tyler cruised to a heat race victory, positioning him second on the starting grid for the $8,000-to-win A-Main. Erb jumped to the lead on the opening circuit of the 40-lapper and built a more than three second advantage over the field. He would hold the point until a lap-23 restart when Brandon Sheppard jumped to the lead. Tyler would go on to notch a second-place finish behind Brandon Sheppard with Austin Siebert, Chase Junghans, and Shane Clanton completing the Top-5 finishers.

“I really didn’t want to see the caution but it happens,” said Erb. “It just wasn’t my night. Running second to Sheppy is as close as you can get to a win. He’s obviously the best car in the country. We were pretty good. We went a little softer on tires. It didn’t really hurt us but once he got going I couldn’t run that line up there. I’m just happy to run second. We’ve been kind of on a downhill for the past month or so, but hopefully we’ve got things pointed back in the right direction now.”

Tyler sits sixth in the World of Outlaws point standings. For more results from these events, please visit www.WoOLMS.com .

The upcoming weekend – September 28-30 – will take Tyler to Bob Harris’ Duck River Raceway Park (Wheel, Tennessee), where he’ll chase a $14,000 top prize in the 6th annual Deep Fried 75.
