HUMBOLDT — Daryl Drake posted his first feature race victory of the 2012 season at Humboldt Speedway Friday. Drake outran the rest of the 16-car field to win in factory stock division.

An early unassisted spinout by points leader Scott Stuart sent him to the rear of the field and by the midway point of the race, Drake had a firm hold on the lead. Steve Stuart ran second and Steve Herrice made his Humboldt debut with a third-place finish. Scott Stuart roared from the back of the pack to snare fourth and Patrick Kay finished fifth.

Justin Folk recently announced his retirement from racing but has driven his brother’s car to two straight wins at the Speedway. Justin Folk is in Jess Folk Jr.’s modified stock car after Jess was disqualified for the rest of the season in a dispute with USRA rules on tires.
