The big half-mile of dirt saw Rodney Sanders jump out to an early lead in the inaugural U.S.M.T.S. Salt City Assault main event with Ramirez close behind. Sanders slowly stretched out his advantage over the field and reached lapped traffic by lap 10. Coming out of turn four to finish off the first half of the 30-lap race, Sanders slowed and pulled to the top of the racing surface with a flat right rear tire, leaving Ramirez as the pacesetter when the green flag returned. I raced him there early and kind of put a little pressure on him, but when he got out there I thought 'I'm just gonna let him go, Ramirez said. He was setting a really fast pace. I didnt want to push mine that hard. I knew it was a tire but I didn't know if he broke something to initially cause that. I knew at that point I need to back 'er down a little bit. Despite his slower but smoother approach, Ramirez was still able to distance himself from his pursuers over the final half of the race until Hunter Marriott tracked him down and applied heavy pressure over the final 10 laps or so. Marriott got to his bumper on multiple occasions, but was never able to mount a serious threat for the position and Ramirez cruised ahead to his sixth career U.S.M.T.S. victory and first since a victory at the Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa, on Aug. 25, 2017.
Lap Leaders: Rodney Sanders 1-14, Dereck Ramirez 15-30
Provisional Starters: Nathan Hagar
Dan Powers & Bryce Schniepp were named provisional starters by the racetrack management
