Ahumada’s second USMTS win happens in Masters opener
By USMTS (New Richmond, WI) -- Carlos Ahumada Jr. scored his second feature race win with the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt as the series kicked off the 24th Annual Masters at the Cedar Lake Speedway on Thursday.
The 26-year-old racer from El Paso, Texas, was able to get by race-long leader Will Krup on the 33rd lap and then led the remaining eight laps to pocket the $3,000 winner’s share of the prize money.
His maiden victory happened a little more than two years ago on opening night of King of America X at the Humboldt Speedway. The search for win number one continues for Krup, who sits second in the Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year points behind Tom Berry jr.
Tanner Mullens continued his resurgence with a third-place effort while 20th-starting Clayton Wagamon passed 16 cars to finish fourth and earn the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award.
Dylan Thornton rounded out the top five. Sixth through tenth were points leader Rodney Sanders, Jake Timm, Jake O'Neil, Darron Fuqua and last year’s USRA B-Mod national champion Joe Chisholm behind the wheel of Dustin Sorensen’s 2022 USMTS Modified.
Defending Masters champ Dereck Ramirez used a provisional to start 25the and climbed up to 11th while Sorensen steered the Jimmy Mars-owned machine to a 12th-place finish.
The show continues on Friday with a $5,000-to-win contest and the finale on Saturday pays a top prize of $11,000. Alongside the USMTS each day will be Super Late Models racing for the same payouts, along with three complete shows for USRA Late Models.
USRA Late Models will also run a complete program each night with $600 to win on Friday before climbing to a $1,100 top prize on Saturday. All three nights award Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points.
On Friday, general admission spectator tickets are $35 while students ages 6-16 are $17 and pit passes are $40. 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.
Grounds are open for camping all weekend. The pits will open at 2 p.m. and grandstands open at 5 both days with hot laps and USMTS qualifying at 6:30 and racing at 7.
