Tad Davis won the USRA Modified main event.

81 Speedway kicked off the 2021 season in high-flying fashion Saturday, April 3. It was the “Mount Hope Missile” Tad Davis and “B52 Bomber” Jeremy Chambers both bringing home wins on the opening night in Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series action.

Chambers played the patience game during a caution-plagued Chunky Poodle USRA B-Mod feature, stalking polesitter Brian McGowen until the race's mid-point. With laps finally clicking away, Chambers flexed his muscle driving around the No. 22X machine at the exit of turn 4. From there it was all Chambers the rest of the way.

McGowen, Reece Solander, Krew Walburn and defending track champion Kenton Allen completed the top five.

B-Mod newcomer Braden Stoner, Chambers and Walburn claimed the three heat race wins.

In Alternative Pest Management USRA Modified action, it was Davis who stunned the field from his 11th starting spot on the grid.

Derby racer Scott Green paced the field for the first half of the event until caution flags interrupted the otherwise fast-paced event.

Taking notes from Chambers’ B-Mod win, Davis had worked his way into the top five using the middle part of the Speedway before the caution flew. On the ensuing restart, Davis once again stuck the middle and went fifth to first in a single lap while the rest of the top five continued to argue for real estate around the hub of the Speedway.

Another late race restart saw Hutchinson’s Jake Nightingale sneak past Green for second. Green finished third, Cody Schneipp fourth and hard-charging Randy Wilson went 22nd to fifth.

Making another early season modified start, Chris Kratzer, along with Nightingale and Bryce Schneipp, picked up heat race wins.

Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series divisions get the weekend off next Saturday.
