Chisholm prevails Friday at USMTS King of America XIV

Score the second night of King of America XIV as a victory for the reigning Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt national champion.

Jim Chisholm of Osage, Iowa, led all 40 laps to earn the $5,000 first prize, but it wasn't necessarily an easy drive for the 22-year-old who broke onto the national scene a year ago. He had to withstand five restarts while leading and was up to the challenge on each.

"They gave us another great racetrack," Chisholm said in Victory Lane. "I think we ran every single line on this thing tonight. We're super-excited for tomorrow."

Saturday night's finale will be a $20,000-to-win event for the Summit USMTS Modifieds.

"The King of America and the Jamboree are super-big USMTS races and drivers showed up this weekend," Chisholm said. "There's a lot of talent that didn't make the show tonight. There's a lot of talent that should be in the show, but it's hard sledding."

Grant Junghans USMTS Rookie of the Year contender Reece Solander from Emporia, Kan., wound up second after threatening Chisholm's lead over the second half of the 40-lapper.

Chisholm, who swept both nights of last year's USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout, rolled off from the pole and led Hodges Farms & Dredging Top Qualifier Nathan Smith in the sprint into turn one and was in front of Stormy Scott by about a half-second as the first caution came out on lap four.

Smith got past Scott on the restart, but Chisholm took advantage of those two battling for second to run off to a two-second command by lap 10. Following the second caution, Scott regained second with Chad Wheeler in third, but Chisholm's lead grew to just under a second by the race's midway point on lap 20.

Solander roared past Scott on the top side for second on lap 22 and began to close in on the leader, applying all-out pressure for the lead. Chisholm repelled the charge and by the three-tenths of the second on lap 26 when the event's third caution flew.

Chisholm chose the low side on the double-file restart and held off Solander when a multi-car incident once again slowed the action. Chisholm led by three car lengths with 10 to go with Wheeler running just behind Solander.

"I like to be able to choose for the bottom for starts like that," Chisholm said of his strategy. "If you have a guy below you, you have to worry about running over him and hurting your equipment, so I had a couple of really good restarts doing it that way and stayed with it."

Chisholm joked that "the best spotters" in the sport are in Wheatland meaning the giant jumbotron overlooking turn three. He was able to spy Solander making a strong charge.

"It's very clear when someone's coming up on you," Chisholm said. "You know you're in the good when they don't show you. You just watch it lap after lap and it kind of lets you know."

As the race remained green, Chisholm gradually pulled away and had a 1.3-second command before a fifth caution wiped out his margin out on lap 33.

Just as he did time and again, Chisholm was flawless as the green waved and drove away over the final laps to beat Solander by 1.8 seconds.

Solander, not far removed from running USRA B-Mods, was thrilled with his strong run.

"I think Jim might have been watching the jumbotron, but my right-rear tire went away any way, so I don't know if we would have had him," Solander said, adding that "it's pretty cool" to have such a strong USMTS run.

"We were hoping for a win, but we'll definitely take a second. That feels like a success to us," Solander said.

Cade Dillard, winner of Thursday's King of America XIV opener, rallied from 10th to third, with 2012 King of America II winner Scott fourth and Kyle Strickler fifth from the 22nd starting spot, which earned him the FK Rod Ends Hard Charger Award.

Chad Wheeler, former track champion Bobby Williams, Alex Williamson, Tanner Mullens and back-to-back USRA American Racer Modified Series champ Joe Duvall.
