HUMBOLDT — Three drivers accustomed to success at Humboldt Speedway put on quite a show Friday evening.
John Allen, defending points champion, locked horns with current points leader Ryan McAninch and multiple points champion Justin Folk in the USRA/McCarthy Auto Group Modified feature.
The epic, paint-swapping, wall-banging battle saw Allen emerge victorious after multiple lead changes. McAninch was second, with Folk third. Tanner Mullins took fourth. Chase Sigg finished fifth.
Newcomer Brad Carroll of Independence took his first ever Humboldt feature win in the Whitworth Construction pure stock division, wiring the field in an impressive performance. Jared Hayden finished second. Wayne Johnson was third. Chance Monday and Mitch Coulter rounded out the top five.
Randy Zimmerman dominated the field in winning the Ray’s Metal Depot B-Mod clash. While Zimmerman drove away, the rest of the field engaged in a massive dogfight that saw Jeremy Chambers finish second, Tim VanGotten third, Brandon Jones fourth and Jon Westhoff fifth.
Door-to-door, wheel-to-wheel racing was the order of the night in factory stocks; Gary Langworthy Jr. edged Jay Lamons Jr. for the win. Jeremy Wilson tallied third, Patrick Kay fourth and Gary Langworthy Sr. fifth.
This Friday, the MLRA Late Model series will be in action, as well as a full show of regular classes. Ticket prices are $17 for adults, $15 for seniors, $5 for children ages 6 to 12 with an adult and free of charge for kids 5 and under.
