Bone gets by Folk late, takes second straight at Humbodlt
Johnny Bone Jr. made a late-race charge to get by Justin Folk and take his third win in as many weeks at the Humboldt Speedway.
HUMBOLDT, Kan. -- Friday night's USRA Modified feature action at the Humboldt Speedway saw Justin "Whitey" Folk blast off into the lead, but 25 laps is a long time to be out front, especially with a posse of big dogs in tow, including (cue the theme from "Jaw's") Johnny Bone Jr.
Bone waited paitently, passing one, then two, now he's into lapped traffic, roughly three-car lengths behind Folk. Together, they rocket into a pack of lapped cars.
Both drivers were blasting through traffic, but suddenly, with just the hint of an opening, Bone is in the lead. And, with three laps left, he will not be challenged.
Bone made it three in a row while Folk gave it his all, but fate dealt him second place.
Third was John Allen, Tanner Mullins came home in fourth and Randy Zimmerman wound up fifth.
USRA B-Mod action saw Jeremy Chambers scoring a well-deserved win.
Outside pole sitter Curt Drake was second.
Tim VanGotten, Jeremy Wilson and Jimmie Davis rounded out the top 5.
Part 2 of the Memorial Day Weekend festivities at 'The Hummer' will be Sunday, May 27, with the annual Dewaine Whitworth Memorial featuring USRA vs NCRA Modifieds, along with all the other classes.
B-Mods will get the night off on Friday, June 1, as the MLRA late Models make their first appearance at Humboldt in 10 years. Modifieds, Pure Stocks and Factory Stock will run as well.
