Thursday Qualifiers | King of America Modified Nationals
video by Mike Kraft
Humboldt, KS | Oct. 20, 2011 - Jon Tesch was having a perfect night Thursday at the Humboldt Speedway. He posted the fastest lap in his qualifying group during time trials, came from the sixth position to win his heat race and then took control in the main event where he led 26 laps. The problem here is that the race was 30 laps long...
Johnny Scott, on the other hand, was the fourth quickest in his ten-car qualifying group, finished and started third in his heat race and then began the “A” Main Qualifier from deep in the field in 12th.
But Scott was unfazed as he blistered the field on his way to the front and passed Tesch with four laps to go to win the main event on River’s Edge Scrap Management Qualifying Night and put himself in good position to vie for Saturday night’s $15,000 top prize at the inaugural King of America Modified Nationals...

Wednesday Qualifiers | King of America Modified Nationals

Humboldt, KS | Oct. 19, 2011 - Four days after celebrating his 21st birthday, Ryan Gustin was the man of honor again Wednesday night after he thrilled the Humboldt Speedway fans with a late-race pass of Terry Phillips to score the win on Allen’s Automotive Qualifying Night at the inaugural King of America Modified Nationals.
While it ended on a high note, the program got off to a rough start for the 2011 USMTS National Champion. After turning just the 24th fastest lap among 39 drivers in time trials, Gustin started on the pole for his heat race but quickly dropped to second behind Phillips and then relinquished the runner-up spot to eight-time and reigning track champion Justin “Whitey” Folk on the final lap. In the feature race, however, ‘The Reaper’ was on his game... FULL STORY & RESULTS
