VanderBeek vaults back into USMTS victory lane

Zack VanderBeek celebrated the loss of 120 pounds since his last win with the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt by celebrating a $10,000 win on Sunday in the 10th Annual Super Clean War in West Union at the Fayette County Speedway.

From the outside of the front row, Dan Ebert shot to the lead to take control of the race on the opening lap. Meanwhile, VanderBeek followed in second as the pair raced bumper-to-bumper through heavy lapped traffic while Tom Berry Jr., Tyler Wolff and Rodney Sanders worked inside the top five.

The yellow flag waved for the first time with 20 laps in the books and 20 still remaining, and that opened the door for VanderBeek as he powered ahead of Ebert in the first corner to take over the top spot.

‘The Z-Man’ found himself with a massive 3.5-second cushion over Ebert nine laps later while Berry, Sanders and Jason Hughes filled the top five positions when the yellow flag waved again.

The pace slowed, but back underway VanderBeek pulled away again and cruised to nearly a two-second margin of victory over Berry, Hughes, Sanders and Ebert.

“He kind of gave me the top line there and it was just wide open and once I could carry good momentum I could tell my car was really good so I was comfortable up there,” said VanderBeek after scoring his 51st career USMTS victory.

The win was worth $10,000 to the 38-year-old builder of VanderBuilt Race Cars in New Sharon, Iowa. It was his second in West Union. He also won here in 2016.

On this Memorial Day Weekend, it is fitting to acknowledge is last USMTS win happened at the Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, La., on Sept. 11, 2020. He weighed in at 300 pounds that day, but 989 days later he picked up the win as a lean, mean 180-pound driving machine.

“It’s been a stepping stone process for me,” VanderBeek added. “I’ve been doing this a long time with a lot of these USMTS races under my belt, and sometimes I wonder if I should become a car owner and let somebody else drive it, but I’ve got an awesome program and team, and this is what I do.”

Tyler Wolff was sixth while Dylan Thornton raced from 16th on the grid to seventh and earned the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award. Cayden Carter was eighth, Dereck Ramirez rebounded from a mid-race incident to nab ninth and EL Paso’s Carlos Ahumada Jr. rounded out the top 10.



Following a much-needed and well-deserved two week hiatus, the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt is back in action Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 15-17, for the 24th Annual Masters at the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis.

For its Silver Anniversary season, the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt currently features 45 nights of racing at 15 of America's premier dirt track racing venues in nine states. The winners of those events are set to earn more than $300,000 with nearly $2 million in purses and prize money earmarked for the 2023 campaign.

Davis dominates for USMTS win at Deer Creek Speedway

With $10,000 on the line, Brandon Davis picked a fine time to shine as he led all 50 laps from the outside of the front row to notch his ninth career USMTS victory and first in nearly four years, and only his second in nine seasons.

Saturday night’s 20th Annual LRS Waste Services USMTS Southern Minnesota Spring Challenge trophy was the sixth one he has stolen from the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

Driving his home-built Tri-Built Race Cars chassis, the 31-year-old from nearby Haysville, Minn., is the track’s all-time winningest driver, and Davis added to that career milestone by holding off Jim Chisholm—the winningest driver at ‘The Creek’ over the last four years.

“It was fun but it’s a lot easier when you start up front with these guys,” Davis said in Tralo Victory Lane. “Jim’s kind of the class of the of the field around here so it was nice to be able to hold him off for once. So far he’s gotten the better end of the stick to me most times but I got a little bit on them tonight so that's nice.”

Jake Timm earned the Sybesma Pole Award but Davis snagged the advantage at the waving of the green flag—a sight that many Deer Creek Speedway fans have witnessed over the past decade or so.

Timm stayed close for much of the race before Chisholm moved in to challenge Davis in the late stages, but this time Davis put his experience on the high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval to take home the winner’s share of the prize money.

While six of Davis’s nine USMTS wins have come here, Chisholm came one spot shy of registering his fourth career USMTS win and third one here after a valiant effort from the 15th starting spot to claim the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award.

Timm held on for third but was disqualified during post-race technical inspections, moving Jason Hughes—the driver with the most USMTS wins (14) at Deer Creek to third, holding off Terry Phillips at the checkered flag.

Aaron Benson came from 19th on the starting grid to secure a fifth-place paycheck. Zack VanderBeek was sixth, Dan Ebert earned the seventh spot, Rodney Sanders ended his two-race win streak in eighth and 2021 USMTS National Champion Dereck Ramirez was ninth with Jim Chisholm rounding out the top 10.

While it took a heavy right foot for Davis to accomplish his feat, all drivers in both the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt and USRA B-Mods ran their main events with a heavy heart after B-Mod racer Caleb Korpi passed away in the pit area before the completion of the last two races.

“It was definitely different (the feeling in victory lane),” added Davis. “Condolences to the family. We’re glad we could honor their wishes and keep on going.”

On Sunday, the fast and furious Fayette County Speedway in West Union, Iowa, hosts the USMTS mega-monster modifieds with the 10th Annual Super Clean War in West Union and second straight $10,000-to-win clash to wrap up the Memorial Day Weekend.

WWU1 was waged Sept. 16, 2008, with Omaha, Neb.’s Jake Neal—now a Malvern Bank SLMR champion—garnering his one and only USMTS triumph. Ryan Gustin won in 2009 but the series didn’t return until 2016. Zack VanderBeek came out on top that night.

Gustin became the event’s first two-time winner in 2017 and since then victory lane has been graced by Lucas Schott, Rodney Sanders, Dereck Ramirez and Terry Phillips, who won for a second time here last year.

USRA B-Mods ($500 to win) and USRA Hobby Stocks ($400 to win) will also be in action battling for Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points. The pits open at 3 p.m. and grandstands open at 4 with hot laps at 5:30 and opening ceremonies at 6:10.

Spectator tickets are $25 and kids $10. Pit passes are $40 and kids ages 6-11 are $20. Children ages 5 and under get into the grandstands or pits for free with a paid adult.

The Fayette County Speedway is a semi-banked 3/8-mile clay oval located 0.9 mile south of US 18 on SR 150, then 0.1 mile east on SR 56 to 504 S Vine St, West Union, IA 52175.
