Wolff wires pack for USMTS Cajun Clash triumph
By USMTS (Vivian, LA) -- Tyler Wolff dominated the 50-lap main event Saturday at the Ark-La-Tex Speedway and pocketed $10,000 for winning the 10th Annual USMTS Cajun Clash.
A handful of cautions and a little bit of lapped traffic sprinkled in were no help to the rest of the field. Wolff earned the Sybesma Graphics Pole Award, took the lead at the waving of the green flag and led Chris Henigan all the way to the finish.
Driving the No. 4W ARMI Contractors/Lobo Racing MB Customs Modified, it was the third career USMTS victory for the 37-year-old from Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Through seven races, the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt has now seen seven different winners driving seven different chassis with seven different powerplants under the hood.
Henigan is a two-time winner at the ‘Land of Three Wide’ but had to settle for runner-up honors while Zack VanderBeek registered a season-best third-place finish. Darron Fuqua and Dan Ebert rounded out the top five.
Sixth went to Kyle Brown, Jake O'Neil raced from 13th on the grid to seventh at the checkered flag, Jeremy Nelson started and finished eighth, Rodney Sanders nabbed the ninth spot and Carlos Ahumada Jr. was tenth at the finish line.
Nineteen nights from now, the Summit USMTS Modifieds refire their engines for the inaugural Ed Gressel Memorial at the 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., Thursday-Saturday, April 20-22.
The Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt currently features 46 nights of racing at 15 of America's premier dirt track racing venues in nine states for its Silver Anniversary season. Just the winners of those events are set to earn more than $300,000 with nearly $2 million in purses and prize money earmarked for the 2023 campaign.
