The 33z Racing team traveled to Ogilvie, Minn., Saturday to compete with the USMTS Modifieds at the Ogilvie Raceway on May 16. Zack started deep in the field in 20th and was able to move his way forward for a 14th-place finish.
Ogilvie Raceway Report:
Stormy Scott made the most of a good draw Saturday at the Ogilvie Raceway, leading all 40 laps of the main event for the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental.
Heat race passing points set the line-up for the feature race with the top eight efforts redrawing for their starting spots in the first four rows.
At the last two events, Scott had the misfortune of pulling the eighth position but reversed his fortunes Saturday night by selecting the outside slot in the front row.
The 25-year-old from Las Cruces, N.M., led the field into the first turn and led the field out of the final corner, never relinquishing his lead and scoring a $3,000 payday for his 34th career United States Modified Touring Series win.
Scott’s performance also made him the first two-time winner in the six events held at the high-banked 3/8-mile oval in Ogilvie, Minn.
Polesitter Dan Ebert pressured Scott throughout the first half of the race and stayed within striking distance, but Scott was able to start adding to his advantage just past the halfway point.
After a caution on lap 27, contact between Ebert and hard-charging Dereck Ramirez resulted in Ramirez going to the tail of the field. Ebert held on to finish in the runner-up position while Ramirez climbed his way back to 12th in the final 13 orbits.
Rodney Sanders, who won the night before at the I-94 Speedway, challenged Ebert in the late going but settled for third with Tim Johnson and 18th-starting Jesse Sobbing finishing in the fourth and fifth spots.
Casey Arneson, Don Eischens, Jesse Glenz, Jody Bellefeuille and Clayton Wagamon completed the top 10.
