Aug. 8

BEATRICE, Neb. — Jason Hughes turned the tables on Kelly Shryock, fending off the eight-time defending champ to take his third O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series feature of the season Aug. 8 at Beatrice Speedway.
Hughes dominated the event, leading 34 of 40 laps. Jason Frisen challenged Hughes early for the lead, but spun out just after he pulled alongside Hughes.
Shryock moved forward to pressure Hughes on the restart and took the top spot briefly before Hughes regained the lead five laps later. Shryock, though, continued to chase Hughes, nosing ahead for the lead with six laps to go. A caution, though, gave the top spot back to Hughes, who held off Shryock in the final laps.
With his second-place finish, Shryock claimed the Western Region title, making a clean sweep of all four National Event regions.
The finish:
Jason Hughes, Kelly Shryock, Jason Krohn, Jordan Grabouski, Johnny Saathoff, Tommy Weder, Jr., Bob Zoubek, Mike Spaulding, Clint Homan, Josh Carpenter, Zack VanderBeek, Chris Alcorn, Dan Nelson, Brent Bohmont, Jeremy Rasmussen, Justin Boney, David Trauernicht, Jason Friesen, Scott Green, Dylan Smith, Jon Tesch, Lance Borgman, Dusty Leonard, Jay Poidinger.

Thursday

MAYETTA, Kan. — Drivers stepped up their games Thursday as the O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series kicked off the The Hunt for the O’Reilly USMTS National Championship at Thunderhill Speedway. Jon Tesch stepped up his more than anybody else.
The 31-year-old dominated Thursday's Holley A main, leading every lap and lapping all but five cars. The race's only caution waved on lap 13 to bunch up the field, otherwise Tesch very well may have lapped the field.
The victory was worth $2,000 and catapulted Tesch from eighth to fourth in The Hunt standings. Runner-up Dean Mahlstedt made the biggest jump among the title chasers, leaping from 18th to sixth in points. Jason Krohn also made a big move from 16th to seventh in the rankings with a third-place finish.
Shryock, who came into The Hunt as the point leader, finished fourth and maintained his spot at the top of the rankings. Jason Hughes finished fifth
The finish:
Jon Tesch, Dean Mahlstedt, Jason Krohn, Kelly Shryock, Jason Hughes, Tommy Myer, Zack VanderBeek, Tommy Weder, Jr., Steve Holzkamper, Jason Friesen, Steven Bowers, Donovan Lodge, Greg Skaggs, Justin Becker, Gene Claxton, Tom Grist, Dylan Smith, Travis Patch, Al Hejna, Corey Dripps, Dustin Boney, Terry Beckham, Jr., Mike Spaulding.
