Sanders, Faulkner, Bevills shine in Summit USRA Southern Nationals finale

By USRA (Greenwood, LA) -- Rodney Sanders put a big, green bow on his weekend at the Boothill Speedway with two feature wins in two divisions during the finale of the 4th Annual Summit USRA Southern Nationals and pocketing more than $10,000 during the three-day blockbuster.

Meanwhile, fellow Texans Dalton Faulkner and Steven Bevills swept the action in their respective classes with their third straight triumphs Saturday night.

Sanders of Happy, Texas, earned $4,000 and notched his fourth victory of the season with a decisive win Saturday in the American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports finale.

A late-race caution gave Triston Dycus some hope as it wiped out a big advantage for Sanders with just a handful of laps to go, but instead it allowed USRA Modified National Rookie of the Year Dillon McCowan, who led the first 14 laps, a chance to take second—and he did just that.

Behind the top three, Joe Duvall charged ten sports forward to cash a fourth-place paycheck while Chris Henigan completed the top five. Jason Ingalls, Max Eddie Thomas, Sean Gaddis, Kale Westover and Kenny Gaddis rounded out the top ten.

Duvall, Kenny Gaddis and Jake Huckaby each picked up an extra $100 from American Racer while Duvall, who passed ten cars in the feature, doubled his bonus with the TNT Auto Parts Hard Charger Award.

In the unofficial final American Racer Modified Series points, Dycus captured the title with Tomas edging Michael Walker for second by just 15 points. Kenny Gaddis bested his son, Sean Gaddis, by three points to finish fourth. Chris Huckeba, James McCreery, Duvall, Kevin Rowland and Jack Sartain wound up sixth through tenth.

Not long before his victory in the USRA Modified 40-lap main event, Sanders secured a $2,000 victory with a win the 25-lap USRA Limited Mod feature.

Derick Grigsby took second and Thursday and Friday’s winner, Rowdy Day, bested Bo Day and Adam Roy for the third spot. Stephen Guidry, Chase Hatton, Dennie Gieber, Joshua Martin and Aaron Roy rounded out the top ten.

Despite not attending the event, his lead in the USRA Limited Mod national points was big enough for Cory Williams of Slaton, Texas, to maintain his place at the top.

Dalton Faulkner continued his dream weekend with this third Sunoco USRA Factory Stock win in three nights on Saturday. The Cut and Shoot, Texas, speedster beat Bo Perry to the finish line with Neil Kemp, Walter Hamilton and Chris Davis finishing third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

T.J. Evans, Ricky Ingalls, Caitlin Leonard, Bubba Jones and Jerad Herring rounded out the top ten. Faulkner’s win was worth $2,000.

Hamilton—the defending Sunoco USRA Factory Stock national champ—has enjoyed a spirited battle with Chris Davis throughout the season and, unofficially, has clinched his second straight title by 49 points over Davis.

In USRA Tuner action, a tough field showed up fir Granbury Texas’ Steven Bevills proved to be the toughest of all with his third win in as many nights. Colton Mooney Conner Cook, Daniel Thompson and Bondy Cannon completed the top five.
