Sorensen, 13, wires Iron Man USRA B-Mods in 16th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree finale


SPRING VALLEY, Minn.—Dustin Sorensen of Rochester, Minn., nailed the biggest win of his young career Sunday night as he led all 25 laps en route to capturing the USRA B-Mod main event at during the 16th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree.

The 13-year-old son of many-time Deer Creek Speedway champion Mike Sorensen started the feature race from the pole position and was never challenged in the 32-car race that featured a three-wide start.

The win was worth $1,000, and may be the first and only victory for the youngster in the Iron Man Challenge as he announced during his victory lane interview that a move to full-blown Modifieds was his plan for 2015.

Shaun Walski gave chase but could never get close enough to make a serious challenge for the lead and had to settle for the runner-up paycheck.

USRA B-Mod national points leader Chad Clancy passed a dozen drivers from his 15th starting spot and garnered third, track champion Jacob Bleess wound up fourth and Cullen DeRuyter finished where he started in fifth.

Alex Williamson, Cory Crapser, Kadden Kath, Trevor Fecht and Erik Kanz rounded out the top 10.

Crapser, who came into the three-day event as the Iron Man Challenge points leader in the USRA B-Mod division, started 21st on the grid and passed 14 of his peers to earn the Hard Charger Award bonus.

Crapser continues to lead the Iron Man Challenge standings by 74 points (1347 to 1273) over Dan Wheeler with just three points races remaining. Bleess is third with 1127 markers, followed by Jared Timmerman (1109), Dustin Kruse (721), Dan Hovden (666), Fecht (644), Kanz (631), Clancy (570) and Williamson (519).
