Sanders attends Dairyland Showdown at Mississippi Thunder

Rodney Sanders invaded Mississippi Thunder Speedway (Fountain City, Wis.) on Friday afternoon to compete in the Late Model and Modified ranks for the Dairyland Showdown. With 38 World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series entries entered, Sanders edged his way into the opening night feature with a fourth-place finish in his heat. Starting the feature in 16th, Rodney pulled off early with nine laps remaining.

Back on Saturday for the $22,500-to-win Dairyland Showdown finale, Sanders came in third in his heat, which positioned him 11th on the starting grid for the A-Main. Gaining momentum early, Sanders was running in fifth when he slowed on lap 27. He failed to return.

For the Modified finale, Sanders improved two spots in his heat to pick up the win. Rolling off fourth, Rodney was an early retiree from the 30-lapper on the 10th lap.
