HUMBOLDT — As is the case with area activities of late, weather has played havoc with Humboldt Speedway’s schedule.
Fortunately, Sunday afternoon provided perfect racing weather, and Wichita driver Ryan McAninish took ample advantage to win his first ever McCarthy Auto Group /USRA Modified feature at the Speedway.
While McAninish led from start to finish, John Allen contended with Canadian Joey Galloway for runner-up spot, eventually taking second. Fourth went to Chris Tonoli; Travis Smith was fifth.
Derrick Wilson picked up his fourth win of the year in the Whitworth Construction pure stock feature. However, the rest of the field was shuffled by the failure of several finishers to pass post-race inspection. The final results: runner-up was Matthew Kay, with Norman Mackley third, Levi Phillips fourth and Eldon McIntosh fifth.
Ray’s Metal Depot B-Mod feature action saw a hard-fought win by Jeremy Chambers, who held off hard-charging Riley Whitworth. Blake Kisner clawed his way to third, while Jimmie Davis finished fourth, and Tim VanGotten fifth.
Victorious once again in factory stock was Scott Stuart, winning despite serious competition from runner-up David Matlock and Daryl Drake in third. Jeremy Wilson was fourth, Steve Herrick fifth.
Coming this Friday, Mini Mods will join the regular show. Also, weather permitting, men and women wearing shorts and cowboy boots will be admitted for half price.
Gates open at 6 p.m.; races start at 8.
