But the milestone he shattered Friday night was much sweeter as the 25-year-old from Woodward, Okla., passed 2011 USMTS National Champion Ryan Gustin midway through the main event and then held off nine-time USMTS National Champion Kelly Shryock in the closing laps to secure his first victory in his 301st start.

Ramirez started on the pole of the 40-lapper at the Royal Purple Raceway, but relinquished the top spot to Gustin after just one lap. Unshaken, Ramirez kept Gustin in his sights for the first 20 laps and regained the lead with 23 laps in the books.

After winning the third Real Racing Wheels “B” Main, Shryock started 17th on the grid but methodically clawed his way to the front of the pack. With a handful of laps remaining, ‘The King’ was shadowing Ramirez and looking to end his hopes of taking home his first trophy.

After following Ramirez around the bottom, Shryock moved to the high side of the 3/8-mile clay oval with the white flag in the air, but Ramirez was too strong and powered away to a 1.023-second margin of victory as the checkered flag waved.

Ramirez pocketed a $3,000 paycheck for his initial triumph with just one event left in his fifth full season of competing with the Best of the Best in dirt Modified racing.

Gustin held on for a third-place showing behind Shryock while Zack VanderBeek came from the 24th starting spot to finish fourth and earned the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award for the second straight night.

Defending USMTS Texas Winter Nationals champion Rodney Sanders completed the top 5 with Jason Hughes, Shane Hebert, Johnny Scott, Thursday night’s winner Chris Brown and Tracy Denby Jr. winding up sixth through tenth.

Gustin also pocketed $1,000 by winning the Limited Modified feature race Friday night.

Action continues tomorrow at the Royal Purple Raceway with Saturday night’s USMTS Texas Winter Nationals finale carrying a $4,000 top prize.

The racing card will also feature Limited Modifieds racing for $1,000 to win courtesy of Express Race Cars.

The pit gate opens at 2 p.m., grandstands open at 4 and the green flag flies at 6 p.m.

The Royal Purple Raceway is a state-of-the-art 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval with a main grandstand seating capacity of 7,500 which includes fourteen VIP luxury suites and boasts a modern Musco Lighting system suitable for television productions.

Located in Baytown, Texas, the track is located east of Houston on I-10 to exit 799, then 2.5 miles south on SH 99 (Grand Parkway), then 0.3 mile west on FM 565 (entrance located at Gate 3). For more information, call the track office at 281-383-RACE or visit www.royalpurpleraceway.com online.

Fort Worth, Tx.(March 4th, 2011) The 4/10 mile semi-banked dirt oval at Texas Motor speedway played host to its annual Texas World Dirt Track Championships. Over 200 Modifieds and Limited Modifieds took to the track Friday night in search of the seven qualifying spots that would lock them in to Saturday nights big championship events. Drivers and teams from seven states signed in including two drivers from as far away as Pennsylvania.

Drivers would qualify through heat races taking the top sixteen in passing points to the A-Qualifier. C-mains and B-mains would be run to fill the remaining spots in each of the qualifiers.

Allen Aces Modified Main
Midlothian’s Chase Allen earned the top spot in Friday nights A-Qualifier going wire to wire for the win. C. Allen out gunned polesitter Clyde Dunn jr. to grab the lead at the start of the 15-lap main event. C. Allen had things going his way until the final laps when Terry Phillips, who came out of the B-main, ran him down using the high side. Phillips gave it the ol’ college try on the final lap, but settled for the second transfer spot.

As green waved on the 23-car field C. Allen came out of turn 2 with the lead followed by Dunn, Jason Teague, Dennie Gieber and Dee Gossett. A mid pack tangle saw several cars involved, but all continued on without caution. But parts on the track brought out an early caution on lap 2. On the restart C. Allen got a good jump on Dunn, who had a slight advantage over Teague and Gieber.

As the top five sorted out, John Whittington got by Steve Whiteaker jr for sixth. Whiteaker gave up the transfer spot to Phillips on lap 4 as he sailed by on the top side. Gieber got under Teague on lap 5 for third while Whittington and Phillips were side by side for sixth. Robert Metz brought out a yellow on lap 7 when he spun in turn 2.

Once back to green Phillips used the bottom to get by Gossett for fifth, with Whittington trying the top to grab sixth. At halfway it was C. Allen, Dunn, Gieber, Phillips and Teague, who lost fourth to the charging Phillips. Eric Tomlinson was next to loop it in turn 2 for lap 8 caution. As green waved again Phillips was back up top going around Gieber.

Showing his car would work high or low Phillips then dove under Dunn for second as Whittington took fourth from Gieber. Whittington then picked off Dunn leaving him wheel to wheel with Gieber who got the position a lap later. Phillips closed on C. Allen with two to go and the battle was on. As the white waved Phillips went high and gave C. Allen his best shot, but came up a bit short. Behind C. Allen and Phillips, Whittington, Gieber, Dunn, Teague and Cody Smith grabbed the remaining transfer spots.

A pole dash on Saturday will set the top seven starting spots for the 40-lap Championship event.

White on his Way to A-Main
The former USAC Silver Crown Champ, and NASCAR Truck driver, Paul White(Temple) took a step towards a win in a second class. White, who took a Modified championship win in 2008, got by early leader Rodney Sanders on lap 2. From there White eased away from the 24-car field going unchallenged to the checkers.

Sanders grabbed the point coming out of turn 2 to lead the 15-lap trailed by White, Danny Hebert, Nick Shenberger and Derek Grigsby. White used the bottom to get by Sanders on lap 2, with Grigsby moving into third. Grigsby then pressured Sanders for second, while Steve Whiteaker jr got by Shenberger and Tommy Davis jr for fifth.

Shenberger then spun from his qualifying spot on lap 5 for the races only caution. On the restart the top three got away clean with Whiteaker getting inside D. Hebert for fourth. Whiteaker then picked off another position snagging third from Sanders. At halfway it was White, Grigsby, Whiteaker, Sanders and D. Hebert in the top five.

Back in the pack a former double class winner, Troy Taylor was pulling Sean Jones through traffic as they worked their way until had trouble and fell out. With five laps to go White was easing away from Grigsby and Whiteaker. White rolled on to the checkers with a comfortable margin over the duo, with Sanders, D Hebert, Davis and Jake Upchurch securing the final transfer spots.

A field of 72 cars and drivers checked in to do battle in the Inaugural Texas Spring Nationals at the 3/8-mile clay oval located just east of Houston.

Twenty-year-old Ryan Gustin was the winningest driver during the 2010 season but it was Jason Hughes who took home the title of USMTS National Champion. The duo was at it again in Thursday’s lidlifter with Gustin getting the best of his 36-year-old counterpart.

Gustin, who picked up a win one week ago during Speedweeks in Florida, drew the pole position for the start of the 35-lap “A” Main while Hughes drew the eighth spot out of the eight drivers in the redraw.

A quick yellow flag came out before the first lap could be completed, but the field went caution-free the rest of the distance with Gustin leading the charge.

Heavy lapped traffic with less than 10 laps to go hindered the progress of ‘The Reaper’ and allowed Hughes to close in on his rear bumper.

With five laps to go, Hughes darted to the low side of the racing surface and nosed ahead of Gustin at the flagstand.

Undeterred, Gustin fought back three laps later to regain the lead for good and beat the defending USMTS National Champion to the finish line by two car-lengths.

Gustin’s 25th career USMTS triumph was worth $2,000 to the Marshalltown, Iowa, phenom and positioned him as the points leader in the Southeast Region.

Hughes, from Watts, Okla., earned the runner-up paycheck while Chris Brown of Spring held off fellow Texan John O Whittington of Vidor for the third spot.

Fertile, Iowa’s Kelly Shryock was running third in his heat race when a spin put him to the rear of the field and eventually into a Real Racing Wheels “B” Main, which he won.

In the main event, the nine-time USMTS National Champion clawed his way from 16th on the starting grid to finish fifth and earned the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award.

Dereck Ramirez, Jason Krohn, Randy Timms, Rodney Sanders and Bumper Jones rounded out the top-10 finishers.

In Limited Modified action, Sean Jones of Mansfield came from the 12th starting spot to take the win and $500 top prize. Shane Hebert of Lafayette, La., finished second, followed by Corey Babbitt of Channelview, Howard Willis of Dayton and Randy Timms of Wheatland, Okla.

The Inaugural Texas Spring Nationals continues this weekend with $2,000 to win Friday and the winner of Saturday’s main event pocketing $3,000.

USRA Western Flyer HotMods (Limited Mods) will also be running for $700 to win Friday and $1,000 to win Saturday.
