MEMPHIS, Mo.—Cade Dillard put on a commanding performance Saturday night at Scotland County Speedway, dominating Night #2 of the Jon Fuller Memorial and capturing his 24th career USMTS victory.
The driver known as “The Thriller” wasted no time taking command of the 35-lap feature, blasting into the lead from his front row outside starting position and never looking back. Once out front, Dillard was flawless as he powered away from one of the toughest fields assembled this season. With seven caution flags slowing the pace throughout the night, Dillard was forced to regroup time and time again, but each restart only showcased his strength as he repeatedly pulled away from the field.
Dillard’s night began in impressive fashion as he earned the Hodges Farms & Dredging Quick Time Award before going on to win Simpson Race Products Heat Race #1. It was clear from the start that the Louisiana driver had redemption on his mind after suffering a heartbreaking flat tire while leading Friday night’s main event.
Tanner Mullens capped off a strong weekend in Memphis with a runner-up finish, gaining valuable championship points in the process. Mullens will hold the 2nd position in the Road to the Championship point standings.
Current USMTS points leader Reece Solander continued his consistent 2026 campaign with a solid third-place finish and will leave Memphis still holding the top spot in the Wieland Metals National Point Standings.
Friday night’s FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award winner Brandon Davis once again put on a charge through the field, driving from the 12th starting position to finish fourth.
Six-time series champion Rodney Sanders rounded out the top five.
The Summit Racing Equipment USMTS presented by RacinDirt.com now turns its attention to the Topless Amarillo Ambush next weekend, May 1-2, at Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, Texas.
