Tyler Kidwell won the USRA B-Mod main event.

He’s known as "Big Dog" and on a steamy summer night at Humboldt Speedway on Friday, Tyler Kidwell showed the world exactly why.

The event was a $600-to-win Ray’s Metal Depot USRA B-Mod feature.

The 20-car starting field was set through the heats. Pole position went to Shadren Turner from St. Joesph, Mo.—a stranger to Humboldt Speedway. He was blistering fast in the heats, looking good for the high dollar feature.

Beside him, on the outside, was Kidwell. Behind them, 18 of the fastest B-Mods to be found anywhere.

At the drop of the flag, Kidwell put a hole shot on everyone and into the lead. Turner fell into lock step in second with a massive dogfight behind.

The first 10 laps passed quickly amd then came a caution flag. Suddenly the field bunched up and Kidwell’s big lead gone. At the restart, Kidwell once again drove away. A couple of more yellow flags bunched the field again, but it was a race for second.

With traction now at a premium and the field running three-wide across the entire length of "The Hummer,' it was Brian McGowen of Pittsburg who mounted the charge, holding back Fort Scott’s cagey veteran Randy Zimmerman for second and putting pressure on Kidwell.

There weren’t enough laps remaining, however, and McGowen and Zimmerman finished a whisper close second and third. Matt Kay secured fourth with Turner fifth.

Racing action resumes next Friday, July 24.
