Jason Hughes made himself feel right at home in southeastern Minnesota over the weekend.
The United States Modified Touring Series driver from Westville, Okla., edged Zumbrota’s Brad Waits on Saturday at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley to capture the $2,000 winner’s check in the USMTS A Main.
Sunday, Hughes went without the drama, taking the lead on lap two of the USMTS A Main at Kasson Speedway and cruising to his second consecutive victory.
A first-lap crash knocked Hughes out of the A Main on Friday during the Guttormson Memorial race at Chateau Raceway in Lansing.

Zack VanderBeek started on the pole Sunday, but Hughes got by him on the outside early in the second lap to grab the lead for good.
Waits, who started fifth, came back to finish second again, followed by Corey Dripps in third.
Nick Herrick captured the WISSOTA super stocks feature, while Kenny Wytaske was the winner in the midwest modifieds division.
