HUMBOLDT, Kan.—It’s not too often that a driver pulls onto the Humboldt Speedway and totally dominates as tough a feature race as USRA Modifieds.

Yet, that’s exactly what transpired on Friday, July 24, as Matt Johnson came to Humboldt from the small town of Archie, Mo., and put on an absolute smooth driving masterpiece in winning both heat and feature.

Johnson selected the high side of Humboldt Speedway’s ultra-smooth dirt surface—the groove where many fear to tread due to it’s proximity to the concrete wall—and set sail.

John Allen battled his way through stiff competition to claim second while Chase Domer took third, Al Purkey fourth and Tad Davis fifth.

Perhaps Johnson had observed Tyler Kidwell use the same real estate to dominate the USRA B-Mod feature the race before.

Kidwell was not to be denied, although Brian McGowen put forth a mighty effort, only to finish runner-up.

Jake Richards was third, Lucas Issacs started dead last and claimed fourth, with Matt Rose in fifth.

A 100-lap, $1,000-to-win Enduro race is scheduled after next Friday’s regular show.
