Tyler Davis won the USRA Modified main event.


It was a modified race fans paradise to kick off the month of May at 81 Speedway. The Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds and The Chunky Poodle USRA B-Mods did battle on Saturday night. Tyler Davis and Jeremy Chambers both continued their current hot streaks early in 2021.

In what has become a consistent theme for the USRA Modifieds, it was another barnburner atop the 3/8-mile Park City, Kansas, oval. Reeling off his second victory and fourth straight top five in Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series action, Davis out dueled Cole Traugott and Tanner Mullens for the win.

From the drop of the green, Traugott consistently challenged Davis, an early lap-five caution not deterring either driver once racing got back underway. Reaching traffic on lap 13, Davis quickly navigated through the back markers, slowly inching away from Traugott.

After missing his heat race earlier in the night and transferring in from the “B” feature, 16th-starting Mullens picked his way through the field finding himself third with six to go. Forced to contend with the late charging Mullens, Traugott battled to hold the No. 02 machine at bay. Mullens won that battle with two laps to go but settled for second while Davis charged under the checkers for the win.

Traugott finished third ending his night on a positive note, taking the points lead away from Cody Schniepp. Bryce Schniepp turned in his best result on the year finishing fourth and Scott Green completed the top five.

The “B” feature win on the evening went to Kenny Sweet and heat race wins went to Bryce Schniepp, Ryan McAninch and Davis.

In USRA B-Mod action, Chambers kept his hot streak alive, picking up his second win at 81 Speedway and fourth overall on the year.

Chambers battled early with Matthew Crowell, taking the lead on lap five. Fifth-starting Brian McGowen gave chase, taking over the second spot from Crowell on lap 11. McGowen then searched every possible racing line around the speedway trying to track down the No. B52 machine.

For the third time this year—once at the Humboldt Speedway and twice at 81 Speedway—McGowen finished runner-up to Chambers when the checkered flag fell. Crowell finished third, Randy Wilson fourth and polesitter Alex Wiens completed the top five.

Wiens, Wilson and McGowen picked up the three heat race wins.
