Racers can get their feet wet and their
engines warm on Wednesday, March 24, during an open
practice test ‘n’ tune at the semi-banked quarter-mile
dirt oval, and then on-track action gets underway on
Thursday, March 25, with B-Mods and USRA Modifieds both
racing for a $2,000 top prize while Medieval USRA Stock
Cars shoot for $750.
The mud-slinging Modifieds
of the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by
Casey’s take center stage on Friday, March 26, as they
compete for $5,000 to win the main event. Meanwhile,
Medieval USRA Stock Cars will see $1,000 going to the
feature winner while B-Mod drivers battle in dual
qualifying heats to set their starting lineups for
Saturday.
Saturday’s King of America X finale
will see a top prize for the USMTS Modifieds of no less
than $15,000 while B-Mods have a $10,000 paycheck
awaiting the main event winner. Finally, Medieval USRA
Stock Cars have a $1,200-to-win feature race.
Eight different USMTS drivers have claimed victory in
the previous nine King of America blockbusters and the
list is a who's who of dirt modified racing.
Ricky Thornton Jr. captured the crown two years ago and
is the defending champion of the event. Reigning and
two-time USRA Modified national champion Lucas Schott
was the 2018 winner and two-time USMTS national champ
Ryan Gustin won in 2013 before he became the first
repeat winner at the 2017 event.
Zack VanderBeek
captured the title in 2016 after a thrilling late-race
battle with 2014 race winner Rodney Sanders. Jason
Hughes was the 2015 champion; Stormy Scott topped the
2012 event and nine-time USMTS champ Kelly Shryock
claimed the inaugural crown in 2011.
In the 53
main events staged here, Hughes has more than doubled
his nearest competitor with 13 career USMTS wins at ‘The
Hummer’ while Scott has six wins. Gustin and Shryock
both have five and Sanders follows with four victories.
Drivers with two wins include VanderBeek, Terry
Phillips, Johnny Scott, Jason Krohn and Johnny Bone Jr.
On one occasion the checkered flag has waved for
Thornton, Schott, Tanner Mullens, Kyle Strickler, Tim
Donlinger, Jon Tesch, Jeremy Payne, Mitch Keeter, Steve
Holzkamper and William Gould.
Jared Timmerman
notched the biggest victory of his career in 2019 when
he captured the fifth annual Battle at The Bullring,
which was the last running due to the pandemic of 2020.
Other past winners include Skeeter Estey (2016 and
2018), J.C. Morton (2017) and Shawn Strong (2015).
The Humboldt Speedway is located 0.1 mile west of US
169 at the Humboldt Exit, then 0.5 mile south, then 0.9
mile east on Georgia Rd. (1663 Georgia Rd, Humboldt, KS
66748). For more information, call
