Humboldt, KS | Oct. 22, 2011 - If Saturday’s King of America Modified Nationals finale is anything like the qualifying features the last three nights, Humboldt Speedway fans are in for a legendary battle that will be talked about for years to come.  On Friday, Schwab’s Tinker Shop Qualifying Night produced the third straight qualifying feature of the week that came down to the wire with a pass for the lead in the closing laps...

Ryan Gustin passed Terry Phillips with three laps to go on win Wednesday’s race, and Johnny Scott got by Jon Tesch for the lead just four laps from the finish to win on Thursday. Kelly Shryock did one better, snagging the lead from Brian Bolin with the white flag blowing in the breeze and then checking out during a green-white-checkered finish to take the win in Friday’s feature race... FULL STORY & RESULTS
