HUMBOLDT, Kan.—The nation’s elite dirt modified drivers will descend again on the historic Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan., for the King of America V Modified Nationals presented by Chix Gear Racewear, Thursday through Saturday, March 26-28.

Sanctioned by the United States Modified Touring Series, tickets to the popular $10,000-to-win, $1,000-to-start event are available now and may be purchased by calling 515-832-7944 during normal business hours.

Three-day reserved tickets are $55. Single-day tickets on Thursday and Friday are $20 each while Saturday’s show is $25. All single-day tickets are general admission and will only be sold on the night of the races.

The inaugural running of the extravaganza took place in 2011, and fans have been treated to three nights of extraordinary close each year that culminates with a 100-lap championship main event.

Two-time defending USMTS National Champion Rodney Sanders is the defending King of America. Ryan Gustin took the win in 2013, Stormy Scott won the event in 2012 and nine-time USMTS National Champion Kelly Shryock won the inaugural race in 2011.

Each driver will run four heat races from four different starting positions—two on Thursday and two on Friday. Passing points will be combined for the best three of four heat races with the top 12 drivers in overall combined passing points from Thursday and Friday’s heat races locked into the first six rows of Saturday’s “A” Main. The balance of the main event field will come from the “B” Main.

Also on Thursday and Friday, the top 16 in passing points each night will run a 20-lap feature with $1,000 up for grabs for the winner.

Saturday’s program will feature last-chance races and an “alphabet soup” of main events that will culminate with a stellar starting field for the championship race. Even if a driver has some tough luck during qualifying, he or she still has the chance to climb the ladder of qualifying events on Saturday to earn a spot in the finale.

The Iron Man Series featuring USRA B-Mods will run a complete show of heat races and main events each of the three days. Thursday’s winner gets $750, Friday’s winner gets $2,000 and Saturday’s feature winner goes home with $1,000.

There will be an open practice for all drivers on Wednesday from 6-9 p.m. Admission to the grandstands is free. Pit passes are $20.

The Humboldt Speedway is a located 0.1 mile west of US 169 at the Humboldt Exit, then 0.5 mile south, then 0.9 mile east on Georgia Rd. For more information call 620-431-2470 or visit www.humboldtspeedway.com. For camping, ATV and/or golf cart permits call 620-473-3694.
