BAYTOWN, Texas -- Johnny Scott of Las Cruces, N.M., captured the 50-lap main
event Saturday night as the USMTS National Championship Series wrapped up three
nights of racing during the 3rd Annual Texas Spring Nationals at the Royal
Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas.
Scott inherited the lead on lap 8 when Jeremy Payne’s spun coming off of turn
4 while leading comfortably. Scott led the remainder of the distance on the
3/8-mile clay oval, earning a $4,000 payday.
Defending USMTS National Champion Ryan Gustin of Marshalltown, Iowa, stormed
from 16th on the grid to finish second, with Steven Whiteaker Jr., John O
Whittington and Friday night’s winner, Jason Hughes, rounding out the top 5.
“It was a crazy race,” Scott said in victory lane. “There at the beginning,
Payne kind of got me on the bottom so I just tucked in behind him and then all
of a sudden I seen him spin and we had a caution and I took the lead.
“I just figured if I just keep it on the bottom we might be able to pull this
thing off. I just tried to hit my line every time around the bottom.”
For the second straight night, Gustin had to settle for the runner-up finish
but sits atop the USMTS National Championship Series points standings. Hughes,
Scott, Whittington and Whiteaker complete the top 5.
The USMTS National Championship Series returns to the Lone Star State in less
than two weeks for another pair of $4,000-to-win blockbusters. On Friday, March
9, the tireless USMTS touring titans will invade the Heart O’ Texas Speedway in
Elm Mott, Texas, and then head north on Saturday, March 10, to the Cowtown
Speedway in Kennedale, Texas.
