HUMBOLDT, Kan. -- Wide open competion was evident in all classes Friday at the Humboldt Speedway, none more so than the Ray's Metal Depot USRA B-Mod feature.

Tim VanGotten topped the 23-car starting field, leading most of the event despite intense pressure from runner-up Jimmie Davis.

Passing was prevelant throuout the field and resulted in Jeremy Chambers taking third from his seventh starting spot.

Jack Simmons started eighth and finished fourth, with Brad Smith in fifth.

The USRA Modifieds had the night off as the USMTS Modifieds were in town.

On Tuesday, Aug. 14, the American Sprint Car Series will make their first ever Humboldt Speedway appearance. With such notable drivers as Johnny Herra and Gary Wright in attendance, as well as USRA Modifieds and USRA B-Mods, the event promises to make Tuesday night an exciting one.

Then, Friday the 17th of August, it's Pack The Stands Fan Appreciation Night. An estimated 5,000 free tickets have already been distributed by promoters Ron, Rhenda, and Ryan Whitworth to area fans for what looks to be a mega event.
