Sanders fastest Friday at Featherlite Fall Jamboree, trails Gustin by 4 points

SPRING VALLEY, Minn. -- The second night of the 14th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree produced a second first-time Deer Creek Speedway winner Friday as Rodney Sanders of Happy, Texas, rolled his USMTS Modified into victory lane following a thrilling main event at the Mecca of Modified Racing.

After starting the 40-lapper from the sixth position, Sanders used the preferred high line and quickly picked off three cars to moved into the third position behind defending Featherlite Fall Jamboree champion Terry Phillips and leader Joey Jensen.

Jensen took the lead at the start of the contest and immediately moved up to settle his right rear on the cushion around the high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval. A winner of two USMTS feature races already this season, the polesitter set a blistering pace for the first half of the race while the rest of the field was left to fight it out for second on back.

Three-time track champion Jason Cummins held the second spot until lap 14 when both Sanders and Phillips were able to sneak by on the low side exiting turn 4. Phillips got back by Sanders the next time around and the pair drove in an effort to catch the red #V2 of Jensen.
