USMTS-Humboldt Speedway: A Race Weekend Preview
Dirt track racing enthusiasts, get ready! The RacinDirt USMTS King of America XIII is set to unfold this March 7-9 at the renowned Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kansas. This event is not just a race; it's a spectacle featuring the best of the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt.
A Storied History at 'The Hummer'
Thursday's race marks a monumental 62nd main event for the USMTS at Humboldt Speedway over 25 years, making it second only to Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota, for hosting the series. The first foray into Humboldt on June 28, 2000, saw Johnny Bone Jr. clinch his first USMTS victory. However, Jason Hughes stands out as the most successful racer at this venue with an impressive 13 career USMTS wins. Notable names like Stormy Scott, Kelly Shryock, Ryan Gustin, and Rodney Sanders, all of whom are former King of America champions, have left their mark on this track. Notably, Gustin is the event's only two-time champion.
This year, Dan Ebert, the reigning King of America and current leader in the USMTS points standings, enters the weekend with high expectations following a recent victory at Rocket Raceway Park.
The King of America XIII
The King of America event has crowned 11 different champions over its previous 12 contests, showcasing a who's-who of dirt modified racing's elite. From Kelly Shryock's inaugural win in 2011 to Dan Ebert's victory in 2023, each race has contributed to the rich tapestry of competition that defines the USMTS. This weekend, drivers will vie not only for the prestigious title and a $12,000 share of the prize money but also for points in the Summit USMTS National Championship and the Mel Hambelton Racing USMTS Central Region.
