With one more regular points night remaining at Humboldt Speedway, the season points lead is now hotly contested in the USRA B-Mod class.

Drivers are working hard for the prestige of being crowned season champion. While official standings aren’t available at this writing following this weeks races, the tallies were definitely affected by this weeks results.

Ray’s Metal Depot USRA B-Mod action was a hard fought affair won by Tyler Kidwell, who fought off runner-up Kenton Allen.

Brian McGowen of Pittsburg finished third, Don McIntosh was fourth and Shadren Turner of St. Joseph, Missouri, finished fifth.


Tyler Kidwell won the USRA B-Mod main event.

This leads into next Friday, August 28, and the final points night of 2020 featuring a $1,000-to-win USRA Modified race.

Due to COVID-19, a banquet will not be held this year but points champions will be acknowledged. Points fund checks will be mailed to all participants.
