Dillard conquering hunger in Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental

Cade Dillard of Robeline, La., is one of three United States Modified Touring Series competitors that will comprise the Casey’s Crew during this year’s Hunt for the USMTS Casey’s Cup powered by S&S Fishing & Rental.

Each driver will carry an associate sponsorship from Casey’s General Stores during the championship series and primary sponsorship from one of three popular brands available in Casey’s General Store locations across America.

Dillard will be chasing the USMTS National Championship with sponsorship from Snickers—the Official Candy Bar of the USMTS.

Snickers is the world’s biggest selling candy bar … simple as that. Crammed with peanuts, caramel and nougat then coated with milk chocolate, Snickers quickly became one of the planet’s favorite treats after its introduction in 1930. And it is still at the top, 75 years later. Pick up a Snickers today at Casey’s General Stores and visit them online at www.snickers.com to learn more.

Dillard, started racing in 2005 at Sabine (La.) Motor Speedway and won the Rookie of the Year Award and track championship that year. In ten years, he has more than 100 career feature wins, including eight in 2009 driving an asphalt late model. Some of his highlight-reel wins include the $5,000-to-win Deuces Wild, Spooky 50, Fall Southern Showdown, Doris Dowden Memorial and last year's Dirt Track World Championship at the Texas Motor Speedway.

In 2014, he captured the USMTS Rookie of the Year title and notched his career-first USMTS win in November during the USMTS Winter Nationals at the Ark-La-Tex Speedway in Vivian, La. He won his first USMTS Casey's Cup points race earlier this season at the Crawford County Speedway in Denison, Iowa.

Dillard drives the No. 97 LG21 chassis powered by Geddes Racing Engines. Crew members include Dakota Wyatt, Tyler Roark, Will Gunter and Greg Dillard. The team’s sponsors include Lonestar Hydro & Maintenance, Fox’s Pizza, Zymbom Energy Drink, Nichols Home Decor, Chris Brown Racing and LG21 Racecars, NAPA Auto Parts, Performance Graphix, Scotty Carnline Electric, W.A.R. Shocks, Geddes Racing Engines, Hypercoil Springs and Moran Trucking, with special thanks to his mom and dad, the Gunter family and the Comeaux family. To learn more check out www.cadedillard.com.
