STARTED 7TH

FINISHED 2ND

There were 18 modifieds on Friday night at Humboldt Speedway and three heat races. John started fifth in the first heat. The track was fast on the bottom and John quickly moved up to third, but the top two cars were on the bottom and John had to try the high side to make a pass. There just wasn't anything u there and John had to settle for third.

In the feature John started fourth row inside after passing points were figured. He made some good moves early in the race and was quickly running fourth. After the first yellow flag John passed the 7jr Jess Folk Jr for second. He was running down the leader until the yellow flag came out again. This time the 7jr passed John back and John was again in third. John was gaining on Jess after about four green flag laps until once again the yellow flag flew. This time it was John to jump into second and set his sights on the leader and front row starter Johnny Bone Jr. John made up some good ground but could not get to Bone to try to pass for the win. The top five finishers were Bone, Allen, Folk Jr., Al Purkey, and Travis Smith.

John is looking to race at Nevada Speedway on Saturday for the $1,000 to win USRA special. Hope to see you there!

It was a photo finish for the Pure Stock A Main! Dayton Sutterby Finishline Photography

by Scott Lee Stewart – After raining out last weekend, beautiful weather and the promise of action packed both the stands and the pits at “The Hummer”. No one left disappointed.

Pure Stock led off the evenings feature action; Derek Michael looked strong early, then broke. So, Tyler Kidwell took the lead, and for all practical purposes appeared ready to take home yet another trophy. Levi Phillips, however, had other ideas. Waiting paitently behind Kidwell, maintaining pressure, Phillips made a daring last lap charge that netted him the feature win by mere inches at the flag. With Kidwell second, third place went to Mike Churning, while Jared Hayden and Timothy Beth rounded out the top five.

19 B-Mods started the feature, and even after a Talledaga style wreck on the back
straight away thinned the field, intense racing insued. Trevor “The Real Deal” Hunt
paced the field for the win. Tim VanGotten dueled with Scott Drake as they finished
second and third respectively. Riley Whitworth captured fourth, while Jimmie Davis
finished fifth.

As an added bounus for fans, the Midwest Outlaw Vintage Racers paid a visit as
well. That feature was won by Zac Simmons, driving a former late model chassis
draped with an awesome looking Studebaker body from somewhere in the 50′s.

In Factory Stock, Scott Stuart was, once again, the winner. Runner up spot changed
hands numerous times, before being claimed by David Matlock. From deep in the field,
Derrek Wilson finished third, Nick Fritch took fourth, and Clint Drake was fifth.

Finally, in USRA Modified action, Johnny Bone, Jr. continued his winning ways with
another feature win. The hotly contested runner up spot featured an epic battle hard
won by John Allen over Jess Folk, Jr. Starting 18th in the field, Al Purkey provided
a driving clinic second to none on his way to fourth. Travis Smith finished fifth.

Lots more ahead at “The Hummer”, including the return of USMTS in two weeks, A
$4000.00 to win powerhouse show.
