USMTS Modified
drivers will be able to earn USMTS points or USRA
national points, but not both. A complete and separate
show of qualifying heat races and main events are on tap
all three nights. Drivers will draw for their starting
positions on Thursday with the top 12 in heat race
passing points advancing to the main event. Friday and
Saturday will utilize group qualifying to set heat race
lineups.
Nine different drivers have claimed
victory in the previous ten Summit King of America
contests and the list is a who’s-who of dirt modified
racing.
Reigning Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of
the Year Brooks Strength captured his USMTS feature win
in last year’s finale to notch the biggest triumph of
his career. On Friday night, Carlos Ahumada Jr. was with
winner—his first and only career USMTS victory.
Prior to an off-year for the COVID-19 pandemic, Ricky
Thornton Jr. captured the crown two years earlier while
two-time USRA Modified national champion Lucas Schott
was the 2018 winner. Two-time USMTS national champion
Ryan Gustin won in and became the first and only 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 55
USMTS main events staged at the Humboldt Speedway,
Hughes has more than doubled his nearest competitor with
13 career wins 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.
