McGowen tops USRA B-Mods at Humboldt


The thunder of high performance racing engines split the evening sky Friday evening as Humboldt Speedway enjoyed the long awaited 2020 season opener. The large socially-distanced crowd was treated to excellent, close combat auto racing that promises an exciting season ahead.

Twenty-one USRA B-Mods lined up for the Ray's Metal Depot main event. From the drop of the green, Brian McGowen of Pittsburg took control from the outside pole to win the 16-lap race.

Behind McGowen, passing was fast and furious. Ultimately Clint Johnson of Neosho, Mo., finished second, Tyler Kidwell was a close third, Luke Phillips finished fourth and Nevada, Mo., driver Koby Chad was fifth.
