Timm tops USMTS Mod Wars finale at Ogilvie

(Ogilvie, MN) -- More than 50 competitors took part in the three-night 3rd Annual Mod Wars at the Ogilvie Raceway in Ogilvie, Minn., but it was just one driver who outshined the rest from the first green flag Thursday to the checkered flag Saturday night.

With the best of the best from the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt and Wissota Modifieds clashing, Jake Timm of nearby Winona, Minn., won Thursday, almost won Friday and then got the job done again in Saturday’s $11,000-to-win 50-lap finale.

The 26-year-old son of Bob Timm—the Wissota hall-of-famer and owner of the Mississippi Thunder Speedway—took the lead late in the race to garner his second win here but admittedly “gave it away” Friday night when Jim Chisholm snaked past him with four laps to go.

Timm was a quick learner and patiently bided his time Saturday night as he had to climb from 10th—his worst starting spot of the weekend—before taking the lead from Wyler Wolff with eight laps left to run around the high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval.

“I think that’s the smartest race I’ve ever drove,” Timm revealed in victory lane. “I learned from last night I used my tire up too early and tonight I remembered that. When I got into second I just hung on the bottom and saved my stuff and when the time felt right I knew the top was still there because Alex (Williamson) was with me.

Timm edged Wolff at the stripe on lap 43, and moments later the yellow flag waved for the fifth and final time. Timm took off when the green flag returned and paced the field to a solid victory.

“I just kind of waited until I had the right opportunity and moved up and that caution came out at the perfect time. I don’t know if it might have been a different outcome if it was a lap earlier or later but yeah that was a blast.”

Timm’s maneuvers were fairly stealth as everybody was watching the battle for the lead between Wolff and Williamson up front. Wolff led every lap except for one when Williamson reached the flagstand ahead of him on lap 11, and then the final eight laps as Timm showed the way to the 50th and final lap.

By lap 8, Timm was in the top five and then snagged third from USMTS points leader Rodney Sanders with 10 laps complete. Timm took second from Williamson on lap 36 following a restart, and then set his sights on the streaking Wolff.

For Timm, his three-night take home pay reached $17,000 with two wins and a runner-up result in the finale—his second Mod Wars crown.

Sanders was able to sneak by Wolff in the closing laps to finish second and bolster his points before the series gets back at it in five days for another tripleheader at the Pritchard Family auto Stores Mason City Motor Speedway in Mason City, Iowa.

Sabraski—a former USMTS winner at Ogilvie—held on for furth while Ryan Gierke wound up fifth. The rest of the top 10 were Jason Hughes, Williamson, Dereck Ramirez, Cayden Carter and J.T. Johnson.

Johnson clawed his way forward from the 23rd starting spot and took home bonuses from FK Rod Ends and KSE Racing Products as the heard charger of the race.

North Iowa Action Track up next: The Pritchard Family Auto Stores Mason City Motor Speedway finishes up the month of July with a three-night excursion on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 20-22, for the 10th Annual USMTS North Iowa Nationals presented by Christie Door Store.
