his seventh USMTS victory of the season and 71st of his
career.

After winning the ten-lap dash earlier in the evening,
Krohn drew the number two chip which put him on the
outside of Sanders on the front row.

"This is my favorite track, and I love to race here," said
Sanders, who collected $5,000 for his efforts.

Sanders got the jump to take control at the start of the

Krohn, who captured his first and only USMTS national
championship crown in 2007 to end Kelly Shryock's streak
of eight consecutive titles, made his move with nine laps

Krohn crossed the finish line in second in his first start in
2016 with the USMTS Casey's Cup powered by S&S Fishing
& Rental.
Cade Dillard held off Jason Hughes for the third position
with Johnny Scott charging from 14th on the grid to round
out the top five, followed by Terry Phillips, Matt Dotson,
Zack VanderBeek, Jeremy Rasmussen and Daniel .
