HUMBOLDT — It took four heat races and two feature races to determine which driver was pocketing the $1,500 prize in the modified division Friday night at Humboldt Speedway.
Area USRA modified drivers combined with drivers from the Southern Modified Promotions (SMP) to put up a strong showing for race fans. When the dust settled at the local dirt track, Dustin Boney of Kansas City got the edge at the end over Johnny Bone Jr. The two drivers dueled around the track the final seven laps.
The 36-car field was whittled down to 22 for the 30-lap main feature race. Humboldt Speedway was the launch pad for the annual SMP Speedweek.
Jess Folk Jr., Justin Folk and John Allen, all local drivers, finished third, fourth and fifth in the main feature race, respectively. The Folk brothers won heat races as did Ryan Whitworth, another local driver.
Jeremy Chambers and Tim VanGotten staged a good battle in the B-Mod feature. Chambers got the lead late and claimed the victory with VanGotten taking the runner-up spot. Dalton Kirk ran third followed by Jimmie Davis and Dustin Tholen.
In the factory stock feature, Jeremy Wilson posted a close win over Ethan Lamons. Lamons had ended Jeremy Wilson’s winning streak in the division several weeks ago. Derrek Wilson finished third with Billy Shadden in fourth and Brandon Weide in fifth.
Jeremy Willard went wire-to-wire in front for the pure stock division feature win. Derek Michael kept the pressure on but ended up second. Tyler Kidwell drove from deep in the field to take third place followed by Mike Aiello and Toby Eble.
This week the Speedway hosts The Show Me Late Model Series along with its regular program.
