Ashton Winger Captures Career Payday in Fall Classic at Whynot
Magnolia Motor Speedway Up Next
Hampton, Ga. (November 18, 2019) – Ashton Winger invaded Whynot Motorsports Park (Meridian, Miss.) over the weekend. He piloted his Johnny Doan Plumbing No. 12 E-Z-Go/ Keyser Manufacturing/ XR1 Rocket Chassis/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model to a career-best $15,000 payday.
Winger, who started sixth in the main event, took the lead from Tyler Erb on lap 60 and pulled away to lead the final 40 laps. He finished a comfortable 1.583 seconds ahead of Erb at the checkered flag.
“The racetrack never cleaned up I felt like. It was really racy the whole time, but it got so slick that it was really hard to pass,” Winger said. “I told everyone that I really wanted to get somewhere inside the top five and just sit there and ride for 40 or 50 (laps), but you just never know with the tires.”
“I just wanted to get out there and run smooth and consistent for as long as I could and just pick one (position) off when I could,” he added. “It all worked out and the cautions fell our way a little bit. Once I got out front, I had a pretty good idea of what I needed to do.”
“I want to thank everyone, who supports my racing program. Their amazing support is the reason we can make this happen.”
The rescheduled 25th Annual Fall Classic drew a strong field of 37 entries for the two-day event. On Friday night, Winger followed up the ninth fastest lap in his time trial group with a second-place finish in his heat race behind Dalton Cook.
Earning the sixth-starting position for the 100-lap main event on Saturday night, Ashton broke into a podium spot by lap 17 and began track down race-leader Tyler Erb over the next 30 circuits. Sliding ahead of Erb on lap 60, Ashton Winger paced the field in the remaining distance to register his eighth win of the season over Erb, Darrell Lanigan, Dennis Erb Jr., and Michael Page.

The event will be headlined by the Durrence Layne Dirt Late Model Series competing for $2,000-To-Win on Friday, November 29, while the touring drivers will compete for $3,000-To-Win on Saturday, November 30.

Rodney Sanders Snares USMTS Victory at 81 Speedway
Claims USMTS National Championship
HAPPY, Tex. (November 18, 2019) – Rodney Sanders wrapped up the 2019 season with the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) over the weekend. Sanders drove his Wichita Tank Racing No. 20 Kenny’s Tile/ ARMI Contractors/ MB Customs/ Hatfield Racing Engine No. 20 to victory on Friday night.
The win in the annual Chisholm Trail Showdown marked his 19th of the 2019 season.
“We had a great weekend of racing. With the championship already clinched, it was somewhat of a relief to just race,” commented Sanders. “Getting a win on Friday night and finishing fifth on Saturday was a great way to cap off the season. Thank you to everyone who supports this team and helped make this a great year.”
In stout field of 48 modifieds, Sanders advanced one spot in his heat to pick up the eight-lap victory. Earning the sixth-starting position for the A-Main, Rodney tracked down race-leader Tanner Mullens near the halfway point of the feature and the two began swapping back-in-forth for the top spot in the ensuing laps.
Holding off Mullens through lapped-traffic, Sanders rolled to the $3,000 triumph over Mullens, Dereck Ramirez, Brandon Sheppard, and Darron Fuqua.
Returning on Saturday afternoon for the 4th Annual Grant Junghans Memorial, Rodney placed second in his heat race behind Brandon Sheppard. Starting the $10,002-to-win A-Main in fifth, Rodney held his spot for all 50-laps to register a fifth-place finish behind Jacob Blees, Brandon Sheppard, Lucas Schott, and Tyler Wolff.
Entering the weekend, Sanders was crowned the USMTS National Champion for the third time in his career. With 39 starts in USMTS competition, Rodney ended his championship season with 10 wins, 29 top-five finishes, and an impressive 37 top-ten performances. He finished 212-points ahead of Dereck Ramirez in the final standings.
