Following a fifth-place finish in his heat, Ramirez secured his spot into the prelim with an eighth-to-fourth run in his B-Main. With $3,000 on the line, Dereck passed 14 cars in the 30-lapper to register a 10th-place finish.
On Friday, Dereck came in fourth in his heat before placing third in his B-Main. Starting the preliminary feature in 21st, Ramirez faded one spot to finish 22nd.
Receiving the 28th-starting position for Saturday’s $12,000-to-win Featherlite Fall Jamboree via a fourth-place finish in his B-Main, Ramirez marched through the field 15 spots in the 50-lap affair to place 13th.
Dereck remains in fourth in the latest USMTS point standings.
