VanderBeek rolls to runner-up finish at USRA National Championships

Four new names were added to the record books Saturday as the Lakeside Speedway hosted the third and final night of the 3rd Annual USRA National Championships.

A little more than two weeks ago, Lucas Schott scored the biggest win of his career when he captured the inaugural Grant Junghans Memorial and a $10,000 paycheck here.

The 20-year-old from Chatfield, Minn., was equally impressive Saturday night as he dominated the 35-lap USRA Modified main event from start to finish.

In addition to taking home $3,600 for his efforts, the win unofficially propelled Schott into the USRA Modified national points lead ahead of defending champ Jake Gallardo, who finished fifth.

Zack VanderBeek moved up to second place early in the contest, but only a handful of cautions kept him within striking distance and he had to settle for second in the end.

Terry Phillips, who won Thursday night’s preliminary feature, brought home the third position, followed by Aaron Marrant, Jake Gallardo, Fito Gallardo, Austin Siebert, Mark Schafman, Josh Angst and Tyler Wolff.

Two more weeks of points racing remains in the USRA Weekly Racing Series before four new USRA national champions can be crowned. Check the USRA website or social media outlets for dates and times at a track near you.
