The long Independence Day weekend kicked off on Thursday, July 3, at Humboldt Speedway with an enormous fireworks display and red hot racing action on the Kansas dirt.

On the eve of one of the season's biggest races at Humboldt Speedway, promoters Rhenda and Ryan Whitworth threw open the track gates for Pack The Stands Night where all spectators get in free.

Friday night at the Humboldt Speedway closed with a dominant performance in the USRA Modified feature by Wichita driver Tanner Mullens.

Hard as it is to believe, we’ve reached the mid-point of the 2014 season at Humboldt Speedway. Congratulations to our mid-season champs: Travis Smith in USRA Modifieds, Jimmie Davis in USRA B-Mods and Jeremy Chambers in USRA Stock Cars.

Beginning this season, promoters Ryan and Rhenda Whitworth instituted a policy where if any person, group or sponsor wants to add money to the purse of any class, the Humboldt Speedway will match their donation.

Victory has been elusive in 2014 for Jeremy Chambers. After a dominating year last year in USRA B-Mods, the veteran driver made the quantum leap to the USRA Modified camp this year and has been moderately successful.

For a guy who just won his first USRA Modified feature last year at Humboldt Speedway, Travis Smith has quickly developed into a speed merchant extraordinaire.

Once again, history was made Friday night at the Humboldt Speedway as Dakota Foster of Gardner recorded his very first victory in USRA B-Mods.

John Allen picked up his first USRA Modified win of the season Friday night at the Humboldt Speedway while Jeremy Wilson (USRA Stock Cars) and Tim Van Gotten (USRA B-Mods) returned to victory lane.

Friday night at the Humboldt Speedway, Andy Bryant picked up his first USRA B-Mod prize of the season, Jeremy Wilson was back in victory lane in the USRA Stock Cars and Paden Phillips drove to the USRA Modified feature win.

Travis Smith won his second USRA Modified feature in as many weeks, his third of the year, leading wire to wire for 20 laps.

The first Friday night of the 2014 regular season, and newly-minted USRA Modified phenom Travis Smith took home his second Humboldt Speedway feature win in as many weeks.
