HUMBOLDT, Kan. -- A stranger pulled into Humboldt Speedway one windy Sunday afternoon. Nobody knew much about him. And then ...

Jon Sheets is from Nevada, Mo.

At least, thats what the sign-in sheet says.

Oher than that we know one thing: he's really fast.

Sheets took on the top guns in the USRA RHS Modified feature Sunday and beat em' all. He dueled with John Allen and Brian Bolin on track conditions that changed faster than the price of gasoline. At one time or another, all three led at least one lap and Allen had passed Sheets and opened up a three-car-length lead on the bottom of the track.

Sheets goes to the top, puts it to the floor and away we go ... all the way to victory lane.

Allen finished a tight second, Bolin was third, Jess Folk Jr. was fourth and Justin "Whitey" Folk started 22nd in the feature and finished fifth.
