HUMBOLDT, Kan. -- The Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan., will host the inaugural King of America Modified Nationals, Wednesday through Saturday, Oct. 19-22, with a whopping $15,000 going to the winner and each of the main event qualifiers pocketing a minimum $1,500.
Sanctioned by the United States Modified Touring Series, the one-of-a-kind blockbuster event is expected to attract the biggest names in open wheel dirt modified racing, and many of the sport’s most talented drivers are already pre-entered.
The program will be similar to the World Modified Dirt Track Championship that was held at the end of July at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., with a few different twists and format changes from the successful show that drew more than 150 entries.
Drivers register to qualify on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, but may also purchase a “mulligan” that allows them to attempt to qualify a second day if they aren’t satisfied with their result on their first day. Mulligans are an additional $100, must be purchased at the time of entry and are non-refundable.
Group time trials will be staged each of the three days along with heat races and main events with drivers earning points for their performances in each. The top-6 points earners each day will earn one of 18 guaranteed starting spots in Saturday’s championship main event, with the highest overall points earner during the three days of qualifying garnering the pole for the big dance.
Saturday’s program will feature an “alphabet soup” of main events that will culminate with a 30-car starting field for the championship race that will feature a three-wide start. Even if a driver has some tough luck during qualifying, he or she still has the chance to climb the ladder of main events on Saturday to earn a spot in the finale.
The driver that advances the most positions throughout Saturday’s main events will earn an extra $500.
Modifieds will be the only class running during this event.
Nearly $80,000 has been earmarked for Saturday’s “A” Main alone, with a total purse of more than $130,000 posted for the four-day extravaganza.
