The Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental rocked the Fairmont Raceway Thursday night and Jason Krohn rolled to his first victory of the season.

It was a good night for everybody named Jason as Krohn led Jason Hughes and Jason Cummins to the checkered flag. All three drivers also dominated their respective heat races.

The draw wasn’t kind to Krohn. He started in the back row of his heat but four laps into the race he was in front and won going away.

Of the eight drivers in the main event redraw, he pulled the eighth starting spot. Again he was the leader after just four laps and then controlled the final 26 laps around the fast half-mile dirt oval to record his 32nd career USMTS win.

The win was worth $3,000 to the 43-year-old farmer from nearby Slayton, Minn.

Over the final five laps of the feature, Jason Hughes closed the gap on the leader and made a bid for the lead in the final corner but the 2010 USMTS National Champion came up a bit short and settled for the runner-up paycheck behind the 2007 titlist.

Cummins finished third and came out ahead in a race-long battle with Jesse Sobbing while points leader Rodney Sanders finished fifth after taking the green flag from the 15th starting spot.

Just behind Sanders, 23rd-starting Stormy Scott grabbed the sixth spot with Brent Larson, Casey Arneson, Cory Crapser and Dereck Ramirez rounding out the top 10.

The Chateau Raceway in Lansing, Minn., hosts the USMTS on Friday, Sept. 4, for their traditional standing-room-only stint with hot laps at 6:30 p.m. and races to follow.

Midwest Mods, Street Stocks, USRA B-Mods, Pure Stocks and Hornets will also be on the racing card.

With his victory Wednesday night at the Hamilton County Speedway, Jesse Sobbing made it seven different winners in nine races in the Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental.

The 33-year-old from Malvern, Iowa, started on the pole but it was Grant Junghans taking control of the main event at the drop of the green flag.

Sobbing snuck past Junghans after the seventh lap with Johnny Scott, Rodney Sanders and Stormy Scott holding down the rest of the first five positions.

With 10 of the 30 laps in the books, Sanders got around Johnny Scott for third and then looked to make the pass on Junghans for second when the two made contact and Sanders wound up facing the wrong direction at the top of turn 2.

While Sanders tagged the rear of the field, Sobbing led the pack back to green. Junghans got over the treacherous cushion in the first corner as Stormy Scott, Ryan Gustin and Johnny Scott raced by on the inside.

Stormy Scott was the next driver to get bitten by the tall cushion as Gustin and three others screamed past. One lap later, Gustin began to bellow heavy smoke and when the caution waved on lap 14 he dove into the pits and out of the hunt with a punctured radiator.

Johnny Scott assumed the runner-up spot and got around Sobbing briefly on the 16th lap, but the race’s third yellow flag put Sobbing back in front for the restart while third-running Cade Dillard went to the tail after coming to a stop atop the second turn.

From that moment on, Sobbing was never challenged again as he and Johnny Scott left the rest of the field far behind and raced to a 1-2 finish with Dan Ebert claiming the third spot.

The $3,000 triumph was the second feature win this season for Sobbing, who clinched the 2015 USMTS rookie title prior to Wednesday’s program.

Sporting a new Sour Patch Kids livery, Cory Crapser was the hard charger of the race, coming from 15th on the starting grid to finish fourth ahead of Jason Hughes.

Sanders, meanwhile, averted disaster and fought his way back to sixth at the checkered flag. Dillard got back up to seventh, Dereck Ramirez passed ten cars to finish eighth, Stormy Scott held on for ninth and veteran Tommy Myer rounded out the top 10.

On Thursday, Sept. 3, the series moves to the legendary Fairmont Raceway in Fairmont, Minn., with the Holley Iron Man Series featuring USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods back on the ticket for a second straight night. Gates open at 5 p.m., hot laps start at 7 and racing begins at 7:15 p.m.

Tom Schmitt (USRA Stock Cars) and Andy Bryant (USRA B-Mods) each led the first, last and every lap in between to capture their respective feature wins Wednesday as the Holley Iron Man Series visited the Hamilton County Speedway.

Schmitt, who came in as the points leader in the USRA Stock Car division, ran away with the 20-lap main event to register his third win of the 2015 campaign.

Polesitter Steve Jackson trailed in second at the end of the caution-free affair, with Elijah Zevenbergen taking third-his first defeat in four starts. Kyle Falck and Nathan Wood completed the top 5.

In USRA B-Mod action, Andy Bryant also started on the outside of the front row, led all 20 laps and notched his third win of the season.
