Timm tops night two of Dairyland Showdown
Jake Timm crossed the river from his home in Winona, Minn., and captured the Summit USMTS National Championship main event Friday night at the Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., during the second night of the 2nd Annual Dairyland Showdown presented by Dynamic Concrete Resurfacing.
Just like his fellow Gopher State gasser Lucas Schott did Thursday, Timm led every lap Friday to secure his third career USMTS victory and a $5,000 paycheck for his efforts.
Unlike the previous night, however, just one yellow flag waved on the opening lap and the remaining distance went caution-free, allowing for a lot of dancing in and out of lapped traffic for much of the contest.
Timm used the bottom, middle and top throughout the race to hold off Zack VanderBeek, Schott, Ethan Dotson and Jim Chisholm, who was making his debut in a USMTS Modified.
Driving for Hot Karl of Facebook fame, Shane Sabraski crossed the finish line in sixth place with Tyler Wolff taking the checkered flag seventh. Jacob Bleess, Terry Phillips and Cory Crapser completed the top 10.
It was a tough night for those atop the points standings with only two of the incoming top 10 finishing in the top 10 Friday night.
Points leader Dustin Sorensen and second-place Jason Hughes both had to take provisional starting spots and finished 19th and 20th, respectively.
Tanner Mullens, who came into the night fourth in points, raced from 19th to 11th to pick up the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award while third-ranked Rodney Sanders settled for 16th and fifth-ranked Tyler Davis finished 15th.
Defending USMTS National Champion Dereck Ramirez wound up 17th at the end of the 40-lapper.
The Summit USMTS Modifieds will pay $10,000 to win Saturday as they share the spotlight for a third night with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series at Bob Timm's picturesque palace of speed in Fountain City, Wis.
USMTS hot laps and group qualifying begin at 5:15 p.m. with opening ceremonies at 5:50. Racing gets underway at 6:00.
Formerly a landmark 3/8-mile tri-oval founded in 1968, the Mississippi Thunder Speedway is an exciting sweeping high-banked dirt oval that has produced countless memorable events each year.
