MB Customs clinches sixth Miller Welders USMTS Manufacturers Championship


With three events still remaining for the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt, MB Customs Race Cars has mathematically eliminated all challengers in the Miller Welders USMTS Manufacturers Championship for the 2022 season.

This marks a record-setting sixth title for the builder from Menomonie, Wis., spearheaded by Dirt Late Model Hall-of-Famer Jimmy Mars.
While this title ties MB Customs with Hughes Racing Chassis and Skyrocket Chassis as companies with four straight titles, it also breaks a tie with Hughes for the most Manufacturers Championships overall.

1. MB Customs Race Cars, Menomonie, Wis., 293 (8 wins)
2. Mullens Racing Chassis, Wichita, Kan., 250 (4 wins)

The Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt is readying for another colossol finish. It all comes down to Halloween Weekend on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 27-29, at three of the most popular dirt ovals on the campaign trail.

Opening night of the tripleheader will take place Thursday, Oct. 27, at the popular Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Okla., for the inaugural USMTS King of the Ring.

On Friday, Oct. 28, the series heads north for the 8th Annual USMTS Kansas City Sizzler at the Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., and the 3rd Annual USMTS Modified Spooktacular at the 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., wraps up the season on Saturday.

With at least $10,000 to win up for grabs each night and a three-day purse expected to exceed $100,000, Saturday's finale will see the crowning of the 24th USMTS National Champion.

The odds-on favorite to take the title and $100,000 paycheck that goes with it is 21-year-old Dustin Sorensen of Rochester, Minn., who holds a solid 127-point advantage over 30-year-old Tanner Mullens of Wichita, Kan.
