HUMBOLDT, Kan. - Nothing could eclipse the intensity of the USRA RHS Modified “A” feature Friday night at the Humboldt Speedway.

The story begins with John Allen and Ryan Whitworth on the front row.

Justin “Whitey” Folk starts in fifth.

At the green, Allen takes off like a shot while the rest of the field goes head to head, two and three wide.

Suddenly, Folk shoots out of the pack into second.

Allen and Folk, along with Brian Bolin, quickly distance themselves then Folk takes the lead with a low side slingshot pass.

Undaunted, Allen stays right on his tail.

Into lapped traffic and running out of laps, Allen pulls off a spectacular pass for the lead only to watch Folk make an equally spectacular pass to take it back.

Driving flat out, Folk takes the win by not quite a car length over Allen.

Bolin was third.

Whitworth finished fourth and Travis Smith finished fifth.

Coming up Memorial Day weekend, two nights of racing at “The Hummer.” Friday will feature a benefit auction of racing and other merchandise at half time for the Relay for Life. Sunday, it's the third annual Dwaine Whitworth Memorial with added money in all classes, including $1,000 to win USRA RHS Modifieds. On Sunday, gates open at 5, races at 7.
