For a second time this weekend, the USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports made their debut at a popular Louisiana dirt track and the drivers did not disappoint the fans in attendance Saturday night at the Super Bee Speedway.

Joe Duvall wasn’t disappointed either as the 49-year-old from Claremore, Okla., led all 30 laps of the main event to grab his first ARMS victory of the season and stop Chris Henigan’s perfect two-race win streak to kick off the 2022 campaign.

Although ‘Big Daddy’ dominated, the race was anything but boring. Mississippi’s Jade Luzenberg started on the pole and fought Duvall for the top spot early on but then fell into a tussle with Tommy Cannon for second place while Duvall raced away.

The race’s second caution on lap 12 didn’t slow Duvall’s pace but it allowed Luzenberg and Cannon to keep Duvall close with Luzenberg showing his nose to the leader on multiple occasions.

A third caution with four laps remaining doomed Luzenberg’s hopes when he was collected by a spinning lapped car.

The restart allowed Tyler Wolff and Henigan to get around Cannon, but neither of them had anything for Duvall who took the checkered flag ahead of Wolff to take down the $2,000 top prize.

Henigan wound up third in front of defending series champ Triston Dycus and Cannon. Chad Shivers, Kenny Gaddis, Casey Roderick, Sean Gaddis and Manuel Williams Jr. rounded out the top 10.

Shivers wasn’t monkeying around as he nabbed an extra $200 as the Advanced Performance Engines Hard Charger Award winner. Shivers finished sixth after starting 14th.

Chris Dawson, Jeremy LaCoe and Manuel Williams Sr. each got an extra $100 from American Racer via random draw of all those who pre-entered for the show.

Special thanks to American Racer, ARMI Contractors, Day Motor Sports, Innovative AutoGlass & Window Tint, RacerWebsite.com, RacinDirt, Star 1 Roofing & Construction, Summit Racing Equipment, Texas Locomotive Solutions and TNT Auto Parts for their support.

Saturday’s event also featured a trio of Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series divisions, and all three put on a display for the fans.

In the USRA Limited Mods, Mark Underwood Jr. of Ruston, La., wired the field to take the victory with Colby Williams, T.J. Bond, 16th-starting Austin Storm and Ronny Freeland completing the top five.

The Sunoco USRA Factory Stock main event saw sixth-starting Rodney Howell of Pineville, La., take the lead from Caleb Smith and lead the rest of the way while Smith held on for second in front of Jeremy Allen, Kyle Shirley and Dewayne Turner.

Kobe Kulp of Eros, La., crossed the finish line first to triumph in the USRA Tuner feature race. Billy Smith, Shane Lowery, Justin Frith and Demetrion Harris were second through fifth, respectively.

Devil’s Bowl on deck: The next stop for the USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports will be the first of 2022 in the Lone Star State when the series tackles the historic Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, on Saturday, May 7.

A high banked half-mile with tacky black clay, “The Bowl’ is a unique D shape with the curve on the back straight fifteen feet higher than the front. This purposely designed aspect gives the 10,000 seats in the grandstands an unobstructed view of the entire track.

USRA continues crushing it: Year after year, the USRA continues to attract more racetracks and dirt racing competitors through fair, logical and cost-effective rules accompanied by an organization that puts the racers and racetrack operators first.

For the upcoming 2022 campaign for the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series, there are currently more than 50 of America’s finest dirt ovals which will host over 1,000 nights of racing this season.
