Striegel unstoppable in Holley Iron Man Series showdown at Humboldt


HUMBOLDT, Kan.—The Holley Iron Man Series took center stage Friday at the Humboldt Speedway, and Mike Striegel took the biggest portion of the prize money back to Wheatland, Mo., after winning the USRA B-Mod main event on night 2 of the King of America V Modified Nationals presented by Chix Gear Racewear.

After starting fourth in the 24-car, 25-lap feature, Striegel took command early and led every lap, including the final four after the race’s only caution wiped out his huge lead.

The win was worth $2,000 to Striegel for his career-first Holley Iron Man Series victory.

Although Striegel was checked out for most of the race, the action behind him was non-stop as several drivers jockeyed for positions throughout the top 10.

Logan Martin, who captured a USRA B-Mod win at Humboldt last March, used the late-race caution to best Randal Schiffelbein Jr. for the runner-up spot while Mike Higley outlasted Scott Drake for fifth.

Dan Wheeler, Brian Haben, Travis Saurer, Shane Sabraski and Dustin Daniels completed the top 10.

The USRA B-Mods not only put a wrap on the evening’s festivities but also kicked off the night’s action with a 20-lap feature race that was postponed Thursday night by rain.

Kris Jackson of Lebanon, Mo., had no problem in the race, except for the final lap.

After leading comfortably from the drop of the green flag, Shane Sabraski began to reel the leader in with four laps to go.

Sabraski pulled up close behind Jackson as the pair passed the white flag, and then dove underneath the leader as they exited turn 4 but came up about a half-car-length short.

Jackson pocketed $600 for the win while Sabraski settled for second in front of Jason Schlangen, Brian McGowen and 5 Dakota Foster.

Tenth-starting Tyler Peterson was sixth, 13th-starting Schiffelbein finished seventh, Rusty Kollman took eighth, Martin passed seven cars to earn the ninth spot and Jacob Ebert wound up tenth.

The third and final night of the King of America V Modified Nationals presented by Chix Gear Racewear takes place Saturday. In addition to the USMTS Modifieds, the USRA B-Mods will run a complete show of heat races and main events with $1,000 going to the winner.

Racing starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, and general admission seats are still available while they last.
