HUMBOLDT — It was a great night for the kids at the Humboldt Speedway Friday. The kids were invited to go down to the front stretch to meet the drivers who handed out hero cards and maybe even a special goody bag at intermission. Once everybody was cleared off the front stretch, it was time for the A features to finish the night.
We started off all the A features with the Home Savings Bank Factory Stocks.
There was a first-time visitor in 2023, Matt Collins in the 21C picked up the win but is familiar with the winner’s circle at the Hummer as he has raced here in the past. Matt Collins started 3rd but picked up the win in commanding fashion.
The second-place car was the 12V of Chris Vannoster. Third went to the 9R of Ronnie Kitterman and fourth went to the 7 of Dallas Joyce who started 15th on the night. The top 5 was rounded out by the #3 of Derrek Wilson.
USRA Tuners hit the track next and only had seven cars for the night. Picking up another win at Hummer was the 4T of Trenton Wilson who started sixth on the night in the A Feature. Taking second was the 412 of Jordan Blevins, his first night out at Humboldt Speedway in the USRA Tuners. Third went to the 15 of Travis Bockover and 4th went to the 707 of Larry Trestor. Rounding out the top-5 was the 3B of Mike Brown.
Extrusion Inc. Midwest Mods had 24 cars competing. That class has been doing well all year long with car count. The 16 of Mathew Kay got on track again by picking up the win. The Second-place car of the 01 JR Tyler Davis had challenged everybody with a great run but came up just a little bit short. Third went to the 7 of Brady Folk and 4th went to the 99 JR of Blake Sutton who is the points leader by only 19 with only three nights to go. Fifth place went to the 09 of Tret Bailey.
In the ARMI Contracting USRA Modifieds we only had nine cars checked in. Picking up the win was the 65 of Tyler Davis who started 5th in the race but got himself up front and picked up the victory. The 2nd place car was the young man of Wyatt Gaggero in the 15 from Wichita. Third went to the 3J of Lewis Jackson who had a good run-on Friday. Kenton Allen in the 9-car picked up 4th and 5th went to the 65B of Brett Davis.
Finishing out the night was our Ray’s Metal Depot USRA B Mods as Henry Chambers in the 17-car picked up another win at the Hummer. The Driver in the 22 car, Brian McGowen, had a good run and came home in 2nd. Third went to the 54 of Tyler Kidwell and 4th went to the 31of Luke Phillips. Rounding out your top 5 was the 189 of Jackson McGowen.
Well with only three weekly shows left for the season we are going to have some point battles coming up here in the next few weeks. Next week, hitting the track will be the Ray’s Metal Depot USRA B-Mods, Extrusions Inc. Midwest Mods, Home Savings Bank Factory Stocks, USRA Tuners, and the ARMI Contracting USRA Modifieds.
