Chambers almost gets wet, wins USRA Modified feature at Humboldt Speedway
HUMBOLDT, Kan. -- There are only three weeks left in the regular season at Humboldt Speedway, and it appears that, at this point, the season championships in all four divisions may go right down to the wire. In other words, every car passed counts, and everyone knows it. Stand by, race fans, for some intense racing action!
As water fell from the skies over Humboldt, Jeremy Chambers took a commanding win in this weeks USRA Modified feature. Though the race was shortened 5 laps due to rain, Chambers had this one well in hand, despite an outstanding effort by Jess Folk, Jr., who overcame a long siege of mechanical issues to finish runner up. Darron Fuqua finished in third, Chase Domer and Dalton Kirk rounded out the “Fab Five”.
Rain had no bearing on the other features, especially a flawless performance by Jeremy Wilson in the USRA Stock Car feature.
Smooth as glass, Wilson wired the field, while eventual runner up Tyler James and third place Patrick Kay traded spots several times in the event.
David Matlock was fourth, Scott Collins fifth.
Andy Bryant tracked down Dakota Foster to claim the USRA B-Mod feature, and relegated Foster to second.
Tim Phillips turned in a strong third, Dusty Campbell finished fourth, and Tim VanGotten was fifth.
Big action next week; Friday is $25.00 Lap night, where each lap is sponsored by a group or individual who gets to choose what class and lap to sponsor, the leader of that lap gets the $25.00. Saturday, the Mirza Shrine presents the first ever School Bus Races at Humboldt, where at least 18 full size; 53 foot long school busses, driven by local talent, will compete against one another. (Just a note folks: a 53 foot long bus is going to be a challenge to pass when your bus is the same length! Come see what happens! The rules clearly state this is not a Demo Derby. We’ll see!)
