Daniels triumphs in USRA RHS Modified thriller at Humboldt
HUMBOLDT, Kan. - It was a real nail-biter, maybe the best USRA RHS Modified feature race so far this year at the Humboldt Speedway.
Scott Daniels was hot. So hot that he earned a front row starting spot in the feature and used it to good advantage, leading from lap 1.
Then there was John Allen, cool as ice. While Daniels took off in front, Allen battled long and hard with Jess Folk Jr. for second, finally making the tall side of 'The Hummer' high banks work for him.
Once past the persistent Folk, Allen set his sights on the orange #9 of Daniels in front of him.
Daniels, meanwhile, had to have had a pretty clear idea what he was up against after seeing the front end of the #98 time and again. Lots of pressure, but Daniels played it just right, and won the first of two big races this weekend at Humboldt.
Folk easily captured the third spot, while yet another fierce contest saw Jessy Willard edge Ryan Whitworth for fourth.
Following on the heels of the Dwaine Whitworth Memorial on Sunday, next Friday marks the return of the USMTS Modifieds to Humboldt.
