HUMBOLDT, Kan. (March 27) — America’s best open-wheel dirt modified drivers descended upon the Humboldt Speedway Thursday for the first night of qualifying at the King of America IV Modified Nationals and their shot at a $10,000 payday.
Co-sanctioned by the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) and United States Racing Association (USRA), a field of 93 cars and drivers signed in to do battle with each competitor running in two qualifying heat races.

After 16 heats and 160 laps of action, the top 16 in passing points for the night locked horns in a 16-lap, $1,000-to-win main event with 2007 USMTS national champion Jason Krohn sailing to an easy victory.

“The track was pretty good all night,” said Krohn, who crossed the finish line with a ten-car-length cushion over Chris Brown. “It took a little rubber there on the bottom so we just had to be sure to hit our marks and stay smooth at the end. We were good, but we can get better, so we’ll keep working because there’s 92 other drivers here that will be.”

Brown, who finished second to Ryan Gustin in last year’s King of America finale, held off Jordan Grabouski for the runner-up spot with Stormy Scott and John Allen rounding out the top five finishers.

Each driver will run two more heat races on Friday night. Passing points for the two days will be combined, with the best three of four heat races used to calculate each driver’s points total.

Following Friday’s qualifying heats, the top 12 in overall points will be locked into the first six rows of Saturday’s “A” Main while the rest will fall into positions in consolation and last-chance races.

Another $1,000-to-win feature race happens Friday night, and the wild “game of thrones” weekend wraps up Saturday with a 100-lap championship main event that pays $10,000 to win while every driver making the big dance will pocket no less than $1,000 to start.

The Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA B-Mods will run a complete show of heat races and main events all three days. Thursday’s winner, Randy Klein, pocketed $500 while Friday’s winner gets $2,000 and Saturday’s winner goes home with $1,000.

Single-day adult grandstand tickets are $20 on Friday and $25 on Saturday. Pit passes are $35 on Friday, and $40 on Saturday.

Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing at 7 p.m. on Friday. All times are one hour earlier on Saturday.

For race fans unable to make the trek to Humboldt, there’s no need to panic. RacinDirt.TV will be in the house all four days to bring you the best coverage available online with a full production of all of the events.

Presented by Day Motor Sports, this week’s broadcast is “fit for a king” and will feature multiple camera angles, instant replays, a full pre-race show, heat race winner interviews on the track, Sam Stoecklin combing the pits for the latest dirt and Chris Stepan on the microphone giving you the play-by-play all weekend.
