3.25.22 USMTS Modifieds Results
A year-long wait was extended another day with Thursday’s postponement, and Friday’s opener of Summit King of America XI presented by RacinDirt and the 7th Annual Battle at The Bullring felt the body blows of this week’s unfriendly weather.
USMTS Modifieds, Medieval USRA Stock Cars and Battle at The Bullring B-Mods competed Friday at the Humboldt Speedway and all races were completed except three “A” Mains. At that time, officials declared Friday night’s show complete due to deteriorating track conditions.
A field of 72 racers were in the pit area to compete in the third event of 2022 for the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt, and after six heat races it was Kale Westover and Paden Phillips earning the front row for the feature.
In addition to Westover and Phillips, heat races were won by A.J. Diemel, Steve Wetzstein, defending USMTS National Champion Dereck Ramirez and Jayson Good. The three Real Racin g Wheels “B” Mains went to Jason Pursley, Tanner Mullens and Tyler Wolff.
In Medieval USRA Stock Car action, heat race victories among the 24 entries were scored by Angel Munoz, Rodney Schweizer and Ed Griggs. For the Saturday afternoon feature, Gerald Wahwahsuck will set the pace from the pole position with Griggs joining him on the front row.
Sixteen heat races were staged for the Battle at The Bullring B-Mods with no repeat winners among the 89 racers. Drivers collecting heat race checkers were Reece Solander, Chris Deaton, Dustin Daniels, Krew Walburn, Matt Dotson, Tony Bahr, Kyle Slader, Michael Taylor III, Kenton Allen, Colby Artherton, Garrett Paull, Joey Price, Devin Barker, Lucas Rodin, Travis Saurer and Brian McGowen.
Overall, the pits were filled with 185 racers from 23 states and one Canadian province.
What’s up Saturday at The Hummer: The remaining two main events for USMTS Modifieds and USRA Stock Cars will run Saturday afternoon beginning at 4 p.m. Pits will open at 2 and grandstand gates open at 3.
After the two features are finished, B-Mods will race one heat race with drivers drawing for their starting spots. Then, officials will tally the points earned from the three heat races and throw out each driver’s worst finish to set the lineups for Saturday night’s B-Mod main events.
From there, a complete show of qualifying, heats and main events for all three classes will get underway at approximately 6 p.m., depending on how quickly the makeup features and third set of B-Mod heats are wrapped up.
Since the weekend has been trimmed from three full shows to two, race organizers will be adding additional money throughout Saturday evening’s programs in all three divisions as well.
USMTS Modifieds will compete for $5,000 to win the yet-to-be completed show while tomorrow night’s finale will see a top prize of $15,000 and a new carbon fiber driveshaft from Fast Shafts.
Medieval USRA Stock Cars are racing for $1,000 to win the early show Saturday with a $1,500 top prize later that night. All races for the full-fendered machines will award regional and national points in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series.
B-Mods race for a $10,000 paycheck in Saturday night’s Battle at The Bullring finale.
