Johnson, Keller, Cadwallader visit McCarthy Auto Group Victory Lane at I-35 Speedway
Houston Johnson won the USRA Modified main event.
It was Tompkins Industries Night at I-35 Speedway. Mike Johnson and the crew put forth a great racetrack and drivers responded with great racing action for the fans. We saw two feature winners tonight that have been absent from McCarthy Auto Group Victory Lane for quite some time.
The USRA B-Mods put on another fantastic show for the fans as Tyler Cadwallader went on to pick up his fourth feature win of the season.
After numerous challenges, Cadwallader held off second-place finisher Lonnie Hibner. Points leader Corey Myers also challenged for the race lead but got third.
Bobby Penney rebounded from an earlier spin to finish fourth and Chris Wright challenged the front-runners earlier in the race before coming home fifth.
The Medieval USRA Stock Cars ran three- and four-wide with Mich Ross and Jeff Dixon swapping the lead back and forth.
Doug Keller slowly picked off drivers one by one after starting 12th, and with a few laps to go was running fourth. He raced past the top three drivers to pick up his third win of the season.
Ross came home second, and points leader Jeff Dixon finished third. Nic Hanes, who was also in the six-car battle for the win, finished fourth.
Chad Clancy, driving his third different Medieval USRA Stock Car—this time for Jon Boller Jr.—came home fifth after leading early.
Coming into the night in the USRA Modifieds, Tyler Hibner had been on an absolute tear, winning five features in a row and seven total for the season at I-35 Speedway while cutting Houston Johnson’s points lead to 20.
Johnson has had a challenging time finding the right setup on his new MB Customs chassis, but tonight he found the sweet spot as he picked up his third feature win and expanded his points lead to 25 while ending Hibner’s win streak.
Hibner put the pressure on as they swapped the lead multiple times and it looked like his tires faded at the end. He finished second and Lee Hibner finished third followed by Terry Van Trump and Tyler Grooms, who currently sits second in Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points.
Congratulations to Kevin Babcock, our Fan of the Week sponsored by London McClure Racing, Lisa Burlington Photography, ACA Motorsports, Aaron Jones Racing, Hibner Racing and Betty Wright.
Join us next week for Nodaway Valley Bank Night where the kids Power Wheels will be back for a third time this season.
