Sorensen checks Saturday box in USMTS Masters finale

The Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt staged their 34th race at the Cedar Lake Speedway on Saturday with $11,000 up for grabs to the driver who could win the 24th Annual Masters main event.

A two-time USMTS winner here, Dustin Sorensen led the majority of Friday night’s main event before failing to fend off Cayden Carter in the closing laps, eventually finishing second to Carter who led the final five laps.

Driving the familiar No. 28 for Jimmy Mars, Sorensen led the opening circuit of Saturday’s 50-lap feature and the next 41 orbits when the race’s third caution waved with just eight laps to go.

During that time, Dylan Thornton kept the pressure on the defending USMTS national champion as the pair pulled away to an advantage of nearly four seconds over the third-place car of Jim Chisholm with Jason Hughes and Zack VanderBeek filling out the fastest five.

Sorensen struggled with lapped traffic in the second half of the race. Thornton made his move with 20 laps to go using a sliding pass going into turn three but Sorensen scooted back underneath to hold the position.

“Yeah I could see on the scoreboard that he was right on my bumper but last night I got passed because I wasn’t high enough on the track and then tonight he drove underneath me but luckily he kind of blew through the rubber there and I was able to cross back underneath,” Sorensen said. “Hats off to him for running me clean and clearing me and everything. He’s fun to race with.”

Thursday’s runner-up Will Krup was a member of the group of tough-to-tame lapped cars. Eventually, he was tapped by another back-marker and spun right in front of the leaders—all of whom scurried around the inside and outside of Krup and continued without damage.

The restart with eight laps to go saw Hughes power around the outside of Thornton but was unable to mount a serious charge at the top spot. Sorensen beat Hughes to the checkered flag with two car lengths to spare.

“Last night I was really patient with lapped cars and it kind of bit me so tonight I kind of pushed the issue a little more than I normally would have,” Sorensen revealed during his victory lane interview with RacinDirt’s Pat Graham.

While Hughes matched his best finish in nearly six years, Thornton held on for a career-best third-place paycheck while Zack VanderBeek finished fourth and Joe Chisholm—driving the car that carried Sorensen to last year’s series title—round out the top five.

Sixth through tenth were A.J. Diemel, Darrell Nelson, Jim Chisholm, points leader Rodney Sanders and Jake Timm.

With his 12th career triumph, Sorensen climbed into a tie with Lucas Schott for 20th on the all-time USMTS wins list.

Carter wins USMTS thriller at Cedar Lake

Fans watching from the grandstands of the Cedar Lake Speedway and those watching from afar on RacinDirt were treated to a barnburner Friday night that ended with Oskaloosa, Iowa’s Cayden Carter in victory lane on the second night of the 24th Annual Masters.

Headlining the event at the state-of-the-art high-banked clay oval in New Richmond, Wis., the racers in the Summit USMTS National Championship put on a show with five drivers sharing a straightaway over the final dozen laps of the main event.

Young gun Ryan Gierke took the lead from polesitter and defending USMTS national champ Dustin Sorensen and paced the first 16 laps before Sorensen was able to steal the lead after a spirited side-by-side battle for several laps.

Meanwhile, following close behind were Tom Berry Jr., Carter, Jake O’Neil and Joe Chisholm with all six drivers within striking distance of first place.

Berry moved into second on the fifth lap and then Sorensen took it away on lap six before tracking down Gierke and taking control.

Things got really interesting when Chisholm—making just his fifth USMTS start—jogged by Berry for third place. Berry, however, battled back and took it back one lap later while O’Neil and Carter made it a four-car tussle for third place on lap 25.

Running the extreme high side, O’Neil looked to be headed for the front when Carter had to slide up in front of O’Neil to dodge lapped traffic. That chance encounter showed last year’s Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year a more preferred line.

Carter used a longer way around the racetrack to run down Sorensen, taking the lead with five to go. From there he split two lapped cars perfectly before speeding away from the pack for his third career USMTS triumph.

“I think Jake O’Neill won me that race,” Carter revealed as confetti rained down on the 29-year-old in victory lane. “I saw him and heard him out there and I moved up and it (the racing surface) was cleaned up and was starting to rubber up, so I’m like ‘I got to go or I’m going to lose.’ I knew my car was pretty good. I just bided my time there the first 20 some laps and then once it finally slicked all the way off we were getting better and better.

“Once I got to the lead I caught them two lapped cars running side by side and they just opened up. I knew I had to go for it and happened to get by. That definitely helped me out… Just a great win here tonight.”

While Carter pocketed five grand for the win, Sorensen had to settle for the runner-up paycheck with O'Neil, Berry and tenth-starting Tanner Mullens the first five to cross the finish line. Both Sorensen and O’Neill are two-time USMTS winners here.

Will Krup, Jake Timm, four-time USMTS national champion Jason Hughes, Darrell Nelson and Chisholm (Joe, not Jim) rounded out the top ten.

Of note, points leader Rodney Sanders finishing 11th after starting 16th in the caution-free feature race, and the seven-time Cedar Lake winner continues to hold a somewhat comfortable lead over O’Neil in the race for a $100,000 title.

Saturday’s finale pays a whopping top prize of $11,000 for both the Summit USMTS Modifieds and Super Late Models while USRA Late Models go for $1,100 to win.

On Saturday, general admission spectator tickets are $40, students are $20 and pit passes are $45. Kids ages 5 and under get in for free each day. The pits open at 2 p.m., grandstands open at 5, hot laps and USMTS qualifying begin at 6:30 and racing starts at 7.
