Travis Cadwallader won the USRA B-Mod main event.


What a superb September Night or racing at I-35 Speedway! The drivers and their hot rods continued to come in up to race time. When all was said and done, 125 competitors were ready to do battle on the track. What great battles we enjoyed.

In the USRA B-Mods, point leader Nic Hanes raced to the lead followed by second in points Travis Cadwallader. Lonnie Hibner was in third waiting for a mistake by either of the front runners. Cadwallader got under Hanes and made the pass on the low side and never looked back taking a 3 second win. Hanes while leading in points is still looking for his first 2020 win. Hibner was third with Dillon McCowan coming home fourth.

The American Racer USRA Stock Car national championship must be a battle fans of this class are watching. As of September 18, Doug Keller was only a few points behind Mitch Hovden for the USRA Championship. This night saw 14 competitors in competition. Heat wins went to Jeff Dixon and Blake Peeler. At the drop of the green flag for the feature it was Keller on kill mode racing to the lead from his inside second row starting position. Keller takes the win over by two seconds over the battle between Peeler and Dixon for second. Peeler claimed second, Dixon third, and Steve Herrick worked his way to fourth.

The USRA Modified race could have two families in a Hatfield (Hibner) and McCoy (Johnson) feud. As the track announcer pointed out to the large crowd it was Hibner, Johnson, Hibner, Johnson as they came around to complete the first lap. It was Lee Hibner with the lead, Houston Johnson in second, Tyler Hibner in third, and Austin Johnson in fourth. For several laps you would see the Johnson brothers pull even with their Hibner counterpart only to see the Hibners’ hold onto their challenge spot. At the finish Ed Noll was able to get under Austin Johnson to claim fourth, making it a Lee Hibner win, Houston Johnson second, Tyler HIbner third, and Noll fourth finale.
