VanderBeek returns to Southern New Mexico Speedway winner's circle in second round of Budweiser USRA Fall Nationals


A nail-biting finish with a one-lap green-checkered finish in the USRA Modified feature Saturday saw Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, Iowa, return to victory lane at the Southern New Mexico Speedway for the second straight year on the second night of the 19th Annual Budweiser USRA Fall Nationals.

VanderBeek battled with Zane DeVilbiss for much of the race before taking the lead for good with four laps to go. The win placed VanderBeek on the outside of the front row for Sunday’s $10,000-to-win championship.

The top 5 in Friday’s “A” Main were locked in for the inside row of Sunday’s “A” Main while the top 5 in Saturday’s “A” Main will fill the first five spots of the outside row.

Terry Phillips came from the 18th starting spot to finish third with Dirt Late Model Hall-of Famer Scott Bloomquist hanging on for fourth after starting on the pole for the preliminary feature. Defending track champion Bumper Jones wrestled away the fifth and final transfer spot into Sunday's championship.

In other action Saturday night, Jake Gallardo picked up the win in the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods. The Holley USRA Stock Car feature went to Brian Craighead.

Presented by Rancho Milagro, S&S Fishing & Rental, Barnett Harley-Davidson, G3 Fitness, Mesilla Valley Transportation, GottaRace.com and Arizona Sport Shirts, this year's blockbuster event will be the final time that race cars will circle the 3/8-mile clay oval in Las Cruces, N.M., before moving to a new state-of-the-art home in nearby Vado next spring.

On Sunday, gates open at 3 p.m. with racing at 5. General admission is just $15 and kids ages 10 and under get in for free both days. Pit passes are $40 each day.

The Southern New Mexico Speedway is a high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval located 11 miles west of Las Cruces at the Southern New Mexico State Fairgrounds. Take exit 132, go left and take the frontage road south of I-10 heading west.
