Gustin $25,000 richer after World Modified Dirt Track Championship triumph

SPRING VALLEY, Minn. -- Over the last couple of years, many people have called Ryan Gustin the best Modified driver on the planet today. After his victory Saturday night at the 2nd Annual World Modified Dirt Track Championship presented by Hanson Tire Service, it would be hard to argue with that.

With 58 career wins over the last four seasons, the 21-year-old from Marshalltown, Iowa, is far and away the winningest driver in the United States Modified Touring Series during that time span. He’s also hopped into the cockpit of Modifieds in unknown territory under different rulebooks and proven himself a force to be reckoned with.

The only chink in his armor it seemed was he had yet to win one of those high-profile special events when the really big money was on the line – much like a top-ranked golf pro with multiple wins, but still missing that major victory on his résumé.

So much for that argument.
