HUMBOLDT — Race fans were treated to a thriller Friday.
A 16-lap Home Savings Bank Factory Feature was fought start to finish, and decided in only the last few feet on the way to the Humboldt Speedway checkered flag.
Wayne Johnson, Trey Stipp and Scott Collins, all of Humboldt, fought off a ferocious pack of competitors to bring it down to the wire.
Johnson clung to the lead for 15 laps. Collins had shadowed him many of those laps, and would make a move each time coming off turns 3 and 4, only to be skillfully blocked by Johnson each time at the line. Meanwhile, Stipp was all over Collins in third.
