HUMBOLDT, Kan. -- Beginning this season, promoters Ryan and Rhenda Whitworth instituted a policy where if any person, group or sponsor wants to add money to the purse of any class, the Humboldt Speedway will match their donation. Thanks to a dedicated group of track officials at The Hummer (the pit crew, if you will ... those fellows in the USRA shirts), Friday night boasted a $750-to-win USRA Modified purse.

Which worked out very well for “Payday” Paden Phillips, who engineered a beautifully driven feature win in an excellent race. From the start, Phillips had the lead. And from lap 1, he was pursued by his mentor, John Allen.

As the race progressed, the duo began lapping parts of the 20-car field, a place where Allen excels at passing. Phillips was fearless however, and provided not the slightest opening.

At the end of the feature, Phillips and Allen were first and second, Jeremy Chambers was third, Scotty Bough fourth and Lucas Conley fifth.

Fresh from a 1-2-3 finish in the USRA Stock Car division last week at the Heartland Park Topeka, the fast three of Jeremy Wilson, David Matlock and Tyler James were at it again, this time at home. Wilson won, Matlock was runner-up, James third, Scott Collins fourth and Ken Colston fifth.

In USRA B-Mod action, Tyler Kidwell swept both his heat and the feature, holding off Topeka driver and runner-up Dustin Thulin. Tim Van Gotten recorded a strong third-place finish, Mike Letterman and Jimmie Davis rounded out the top five.

Next Friday night will be Mid-Season Championships at 'The Hummer.'
