Green golden in return of Iron Man USRA Stock Car Series

Derek green won the USRA Stock Car main event.
Lucas Oil Speedway welcomed the return of the KS Engineering Iron Man USRA Stock Car Series driven by Terminator Chassis on Thursday night during King of America XIV at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" in Wheatland, Mo.
In Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series action, both USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods saw two prominent USRA competitors take home the wins worth $1,000 to the top finisher in each main event
Jeffrey Abbey of Rhome, Tex., started the 25-lap feature from the outside of the front row and snuck past polesitter Pat Graham of Ames, Iowa, to lead the opening lap.
Behind them, Derek Green of Granada, Minn., who started fourth, nudged in front of Graham and then stole the lead away from Abbey with five laps in the books.
Green—the 2003 USRA Stock Car National Champion—led the rest of the way, followed by Abbey, who trailed by a full straight-away at the checkered flag over the other 46 entries for the event.
Of note, Green was also the 2017 and 2019 Iron Man champ before the series went on a four-year hiatus after the 2020 campaign.
Graham held strong in second place until the final lap when two-time USRA B-Mod National Champion Brandon Hare of Elma, Iowa, edged in front on the final lap to take third.
Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kan., rounded out the top five. Meanwhile, Doug Keller of Easton, Mo., rolled from 21st on the starting grid and wound up ninth as the hard charger in the USRA Stock Car main event.
Not to be outdone, the USRA B-Mod field wasn’t short on past champions either with former USRA B-Mod National Champions Chad Clancy of Polo, Mo. (2014), Andy Bryant of Fort Scott, Kan. (2015), J.C. Morton of Springfield, Mo. (2016) and two-time titlist Kris Jackson of Lebanon, Mo. (2018 and 2020) among the field of 60 entries.
Aaron Marrant of Richmond, Mo., led the opening lap and drove away from the field with his teammate, Clancy, following in his tire tracks.
The only caution of the race occurred when Rylan Gibbs had his strong run end on lap 11 when he stopped on the track with a broken machine, causing the yellow flag to wave for the first time in the 20-lapper.
That opened the door for eighth-starting Jackson, who took the lead with five laps to go, and then motored away from Marrant to snag his first USRA B-Mod victory since 2023. The two-time winner of the Summit USRA Nationals earned $1,000 for his work.
Jon Sheets of Nevada, Mo., passed 10 of his fellow racers to finish third, with Tyler Kidwell of Chanute, Kan., and Clancy completing the top five at the stripe.
By virtue of being the highest-finisher, the hard charger honors were his while Cole Campbell and Terry Schultz also advanced an admirable 10 positions.
Former Iron Man USRA Stock Car Series champion Bryant (2016) wound up finishing seventh while three-time series champ Dan Hovden of Decorah, Iowa struggled to a 24th-place finish.
Kris Jackson won the USRA B-Mod main event.
The action continues for two more nights with each division dueling for $2,000 and $200 to start on Friday before Saturday’s finale, which pays $3000 to win and $300 to start.
Drivers who don't qualify for the main event on Saturday can compete in a $700-to-win Non-Qualifiers Race in each class.
