Jensen Picture Perfect on Opening Night of World Modified Dirt Track Championship

SPRING VALLEY, Minn. (July 25) – (Picture Courtsey of Buck Monson Photo) Four weeks ago at the Deer Creek Speedway, Joey Jensen captured his career-first United States Modified Touring Series victory when he topped a USMTS National Championship Series event worth $5,000.

Tonight at ‘The Creek,’ Jensen proved he’s no one-hit wonder as he turned in a flawless performance on the first qualifying night at the 2nd Annual World Modified Dirt Track Championship presented by Hanson Tire Service.

Although he didn’t earn a paycheck Wednesday night, the 32-year-old from Forest Lake, Minn., earned the maximum points possible and is now in the catbird seat for a possible ,000 payoff on Saturday night. can a great pyreneese have ivermectin

Jensen was the quickest driver on the high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval in his group of time-trialers, which placed him on the outside of the third row for his 10-lap heat race. ivermectina acquisto Winning his heat made him the highest points earner and the polesitter in the 35-lap main event.

From the outside of the front row, 2010 USMTS National Champion Jason Hughes took command on the first lap of the feature race with Jensen giving chase. ivermectin for covid 19 mayo clinic

Just a single caution slowed the action, but it was an expensive one as seven cars piled up in turn 3 with just four laps in the books. While four were able to continue despite some wrinkled sheet metal, the machines of Jason Miller, Steve Whiteaker Jr. and last year’s Featherlite Fall Jamboree winner, Terry Phillips, suffered too much damage to continue.

Hughes continued to lead on the restart while Jensen kept him in his crosshairs. Ten laps later, Jensen scooted underneath Hughes and assumed control as they completed lap 15.

Jensen was on a rail from that point forward, weaving in and out of lapped traffic without missing a beat. He crossed the finish line 2.2 seconds ahead of Mike Sorensen and, more importantly, assured himself the pole position for Saturday night’s 50-lap, $25,000-to-win blockbuster.
