Anticipation, entry list swells for 18th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree

SPRING VALLEY, Minn.—The 18th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree gets underway one week from today at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., where Modified drivers will be racing for $5,000 to win the first two nights and a $10,000 paycheck on Saturday.

Set for Thursday-Sunday, Sept. 22-24, fans will witness a complete program all three nights. On Thursday, the United States Modified Touring Series competes in the final points race of the year with the final event in the Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental and the crowning of the 2016 USMTS National Champion.

The annual Non-Qualifiers Race will dole out $2,000 to the winner prior to Saturday’s championship race which will start a minimum of 30 cars three-wide while the Non-Qualifiers Race will also have 30 cars on the track.

Friday and Saturday’s shows will be co-sanctioned by the United States Racing Association with valuable USRA national points on the line. The Iron Man Series featuring Out-Pace USRA B-Mods will share the spotlight all three nights.

If witnessing the best-of-the-best and who’s-who of dirt modified racing circling the high-banked Deer Creek Speedway clay oval at nearly 100 mph, this event is for you.

Early bird race fans can get a free preview of the action and drivers will get their chance to make final adjustments to their machines with an open practice from 6-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 21.

Defending USMTS national champion Jason Hughes leads Cade Dillard by a mere 10 points entering the finale for the Hunt on Thursday while two-time USMTS national champ Rodney Sanders is 49 markers out of first place with an outside chance of scoring his third USMTS crown.

Last year, Hughes came into the Featherlite Fall Jamboree in a dead heat with Sanders for the title and wound up sweeping all three nights of event.

There will be a complete show each night. The top 15 in heat race passing points are locked into “A� Main each night with the top 8 redrawing for the first eight starting positions. An additional 15 drivers will advance from the “B� Mains.

On Saturday, the top 30 finishers in the Modified “B� Mains not advancing to the “A� Main will compete in the Non-Qualifiers Race with a complete redraw for starting spots.
