With one more regular points night remaining at Humboldt Speedway, the season points lead is now hotly contested in all classes.
Drivers are working hard for the prestige of being crowned season champion in all classes. While official standings aren’t available at this writing following this weeks races, the tallies were definitely affected by this weeks results.
Last week, Wayne Johnson of Humboldt lost the Home Savings Bank Factory Stock feature literally in the last foot to Scott Collins. This week, Johnson got his redemption by winning the feature, fighting off a very determined runner up, Jon Westhoff of Chanute. Ethan Vance of Chanute finished third, Scott Collins of Humboldt claimed fourth, while Coffeyville driver Brian Knisley finished fifth.
Barry Luthi of Topeka recorded the O’Reilly Auto Parts Sport Compact main event, edging out David Miller of St. Joseph, Mo.. Third spot fell to Brandon Vink of Humboldt, while Allen Jesseph of Earlton claimed fourth, and Humboldt’s Clint Haigler was fifth.
Jacob Ellison returned to the Winners Circle once again in the Love’s Travel Stop Midwest Mod feature. Runner up was Trever Vann of Fort Scott, with Chanute’s Casey Jesseph third, Mike Churning fourth, and Brad Jarman of Altoona fifth.
Ray’s Metal Depot B Mod action was a hard fought affair won by Tyler Kidwell, who fought off runner up Kenton Allen. Brian McGowen of Pittsburg finished third, Don McIntosh fourth, and Shad Turner of St. Joseph, Mo. fifth.
