Johnsons 1-2 in USRA Modified main at I-35 Speedway

Austin Johnson won the USRA Modified main event.

Austin Johnson won the USRA Modified main event.


Saturday, August 29, was a great night of racing at the I-35 Speedway in Winston, Mo., and the first chill as the night air brought cooler temperatures allowing the racing machines more horsepower. One hundred thirty-eight competitors were on hand with a memorial at intermission as we remembered former track prep guru Mike Knight. With 20 heat races, a B feature and nine A features, there was something for everyone.

Track conditions were simply super smooth with the right amount of moisture and right amount of track prep.

The USRA B-Mods were a field of highly ranked competitors.  After the heat races, the top 16 in passing points made up the A feature.   The B Feature was a race for the top 8 positions to make the A feature.

Defending Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national champion Kris Jackson is now two for three in wins at I-35 Speedway, passing early leader Lucas Isaacs. Four-in-a-row winner Shadren Turner had his streak broken but came home third with the runnerp's brother, Ethan Isaacs, coming home fourth.

The USRA Modified feature was the Johnson brothers versus the Hibners as Austin Johnson was on the pole with Lee Hibner to his outside and second row was Houston Johnson with Tyler Hibner outside him.  Oh, and don’t forget point leader Mark Dotson, who started in the third row.

At the start it was Austin Johnson grabbing the lead and pulling away.  An early yellow reshuffled the field behind Johnson.  At the restart it was four wide out of turn two behind Johnson.  As the race settled it became a battle for second between Houston Johnson and Mark Dotson.  At the finish it was Austin Johnson, Houston Johnson, Dustin Hodges and Ed Noll.

The American Racer USRA Stock Cars, with a field of previous I-35 Speedway winners, was led to the green by Doug Keller.  Keller led start to finish followed by Brett Heeter and Tony Manley.
