HUMBOLDT — Early in the 2013 season, Scott Stuart was an unstoppable force in Factory Stock at Humboldt Speedway. Then, Stuart decided to spend some time traveling to other venues, to varying degrees of success.
And so, several weeks ago, the prodigal son returned. However, in his absence, many lessons had been learned, and easy pickings were no longer to be found.
Stuart has again returned to the Humboldt winner’s circle, having wrestled the win Friday from four other tough competitors. Gary Langworthy Jr. secured a hard-fought runner-up spot, while Jeremy Wilson came from deep in the field to take third. Fourth went to David Matlock. Tyler James finished fifth.
John Allen bested the field in Friday’s McCarthy Auto Group USRA Modified feature. Matt Dotson, who won the week prior, finished second. Steven Bower Jr. claimed third. Travis Smith and Tad Davis rounded out the top five.
With only one week remaining in the 2013 season, Derrek Wilson is a sure bet for points champion among Whitworth Construction Pure Stocks. Wilson added another victory Friday, as Levi Phillips marked his return with the runner-up spot. Third went to Donald McIntosh, with Mike Churning fourth and Wayne Johnson fifth.
Jeremy Chambers started fourth row in the Ray’s Metal Depot B-Mod feature, making his way to the front and drove home a winner. Tim VanGotten claimed second, followed by Tyler Kidwell, Jimmie Davis and Leon Bash.
As has become custom at The Hummer in the next to last week of the season, the Mechanics’ races were held. Winners were Curtis Wilson, Sr. in Pure Stock, Harlan Cleaver in Factory Stock and Todd Kidwell in B-Mod/Modifieds. To cap the year, the regular race program will be complemented with Powder Puff races.
