Mooresville, March 26, 2012: Roush Yates' dirt engines were in full force this weekend winning races across the country in sprint cars and dirt modifieds.

Jeremy Payne captured Roush Yates' first modified win of the season with a victory at HPT.com Speedway in Springfield, MO.

Jason Johnson emerged from a wild battle with Jeff Swindell and Sam Hafertepe, Jr. on Friday night to hold onto his championship status and win his first Lucas Oil ASCS presented by K&N Filters race of the season. He followed up his win with another victory in Saturday's $6,000-to-win Devil's Bowl Spring Nationals Finale. Johnson left Mesquite, Texas still in control of the ASCS National Sprint Car Series points.

Two-time ASCS Canyon Region Champion Charles Davis Jr. captured a win in the rain delayed race at Arizona Canyon Speedway Park in Peoria, AZ.
