HUMBOLDT, Kan.--“Refuse to Lose” was the catch phrase for USRA Modified ace Paden Phillips Friday night at Humboldt Speedway, as he fought off multiple challengers for this weeks feature win.

Phillips led the race from start to finish, despite being pressed several times by Chase Domer and Tad Davis down the back chute of The Hummer High Banks. Phillips met every challenge presented and claimed his first Humboldt win of 2015. Crafty vetran John Allen finished second, Davis was third, Domer fourth, and newcomer Tyler Davis took fifth.

USRA B-Mod action featured an unusually closely matched field that was topped by feature winner Andy Bryant. Tyler Kidwell, returning after a devastating crash several weeks back nearly destroyed the #54, came from mid pack to claim the runner up spot, while Tim VanGotten was third. Tim Phillips and Riley Whitworth rounded out the top five.

Midwest Outlaw Lightning Sprints will join the regular field next week at Humboldt Speedway. Gate open at 6pm, racing at 8:00.
