HUMBOLDT, Kan. -- For a guy who just won his first USRA Modified feature last year at Humboldt Speedway, Travis Smith has quickly developed into a speed merchant extraordinaire. Witness this “Hummer” USRA Mod feature: track conditions were perfect as Smith and Paden “Payday” Phillips sat on the front row. Phillips, blistering fast, locked up with Smith, and the battle was on. By lap 3, Smith had the lead over the 16 car field firmly in his grasp. Suddenly, a rocket named John Allen found his groove, moved into second, and applied mega heat to the leader. Then came a caution, and a restart. Allen laid a slide job on Smith that moved the earth. Undaunted, Smith came right back, retaking the lead scant feet later. It was a lead he would not relinquish. At the checkers, Allen was second, with Phillips third. Fourth went to Jon Sheets, Ryan McAninch claimed fifth.

Have you ever noticed how a racing engine runs it’s very best just before it blows up? Ask Jimmie Davis. He was untouchable in the USRA B-Mod feature, until his motor went South with 2 laps to go. From that point, Andy Bryant took over to win the event. Levi McGowen was second, Dylan Allen third. Riley Whitworth finished fourth, Ethan Isaacs fifth.

Jeremy Wilson scored his second USRA Stock Car feature win in as many weeks, holding runner up David Matlock at bay. Tyler James was third, Ken Colston fourth.

It’s Kids Night next week: Kids will race bicycles at half time.
