HUMBOLDT — From Victory Lane Friday, Dennis Bishop was asked how long it had been since he’d won a race at Humboldt Speedway.

Bishop paused, reflected for a moment, then replied modestly, “I really don’t know.”

Old-timers at Humboldt Speedway, many of whom have worked the track for 20-plus years, agreed amongst themselves that Bishop, one of the nicest drivers you will ever meet, had never tasted Humboldt feature victory.

Bishop’s victory, a wire-to-wire win in the ultra-competitive Whitworth Construction Street Stock division, capped the final points night for the 2020 season. Season points champion Devin Irvin took second place, and season points runner-up Scott Stuart finished third. Dan Daniels marked his first feature appearance of the year in the Street Stock division with a fourth-place finish, while Joe Martin of Wellsville took fifth.
