HUMBOLDT,Kan. -- After a week off, Humboldt Speedway action was hotter than ever on Aug. 1.

Observe if you will the USRA B-Mod feature, where Andy Bryant and Tim Van Gotten were wheel to wheel for multiple laps in pursuit of the lead. Bryant was in front, Van Gotten trying to pass and, at the same time, trying to hold off Riley Whitworth when the trio sailed into lapped traffic.

Desperate, Bryant tapped a lapped car, which spun, bringing out the yellow flag with three laps left. Bryant was sent to the rear for rough driving, and on the ensuing restart, Jimmie Davis blew by Whitworth for second. Van Gotten held on for the win, Whitworth finished third, Larissa Atnip was fourth and Tim Phillips fifth.

USRA Modified action was wide open as well, though not nearly so dramatic as Travis Smith led wire to wire from the pole position. Here, the race was for second spot, which went to this season’s most improved driver to date, Gene Hogan. Third fell to Jerry Morgan, Jon Sheets took fourth and Lucas Conley fifth.

Patrick Kay drove hard trying to win his first USRA Stock Car feature of the year only to be tracked down late in the race by Jeremy Wilson. With Kay second, Tyler James claimed third and Ken Colston was fourth.

Next week the USMTS Modifieds will make their summer stop at Humboldt Speedway, along with all other classes.
