Striegel, Vink beat storms, roll to Humboldt checkers
Mike Striegel won the USRA B-Mod main event.
Mike Striegel looked as if he was chasing a storm through the Kanas plains dominating the USRA B-Mod feature en route to his first feature win at the Humboldt Speedway this year.
A tough field of competitors led to the green flag with lightning off of turn 1 but it didn't distract 'The Outlaw' from leading every lap while being chased by Tyler Kidwell who eventually passed Jeremy Chambers for second after a tough battle.
Fourth went to Jess Folk Jr. whose bad luck streak finally ended and is getting the car dialed in.
Matthew Kay finished fifth in a battered and bruised No. 1BB machine.
USRA Tuner driver Brandon Vink set sail on his way to yet another feature win making it his sixth on the rain-shortened season.
No problems for Humboldt native Clint Haigler as he passed four cars on his way to a second place finish.
Colt Burk was on his way to the front but came up short, finishing third, followed by Maddyson Tyler of Parsons and another female racer, Tessa Perry of Chanute.
