Duvall Dons
American Racer USRA Modified Series Crown
Joe Duvall has worn many hats during his career in
motorsports, but this year that lid transformed into a
crown as the 51-year-old from Claremore, Okla., captured
the 2023 championship in the American Racer USRA
Modified Series powered by Day Motor Sports.
Duvall recorded five top-fives and ten top-ten finishes
during the 2023 season which saw 209 different drivers
compete in 16 events.
His lone victory this
season happened May 6 at the Super Bee Speedway in
Chatham, La., where he has three of his five career ARMS
triumphs.
It was vindication for the popular
driver in 2023 after finishing in the runner-up spot in
last year’s standings behind Chris Henigan.
The
owner and operator of Duvall Electric, ‘Big Daddy’ cut
his racing teeth more than 30 years ago competing in the
world of flat track motorcycle racing as he competed
alongside legendary riders such as Chris Carr, Scott
Parker and Joe Kopp.
After stints in everything
from dirt late models to sprint cars, Duvall eventually
turned his sights to dirt modified racing. He captured
the 2010 NASCAR Weekly Series Oklahoma State
Championship while racing at the Salina Highbanks
Speedway and Outlaw Motor Speedway, where he is a
two-time track champ.
In addition to his 34
starts with the American Racer USRA Modified Series
during the first three seasons of the series, he has
competed in more than 250 races with the Summit USMTS
National Championship presented by RacinDirt.
The
Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, La., hosted the Summit
USRA Southern Nationals on Halloween Weekend to wrap the
2023 campaign—a race won by Henigan.
