Humboldt, Ks: Friday night at the track nicknamed “The Hummer” Chad Goff of (Spring Hill, Ks) hummed his own tune winning the 25 lap feature for the Wholesale Batteries USAC MWRA Sprint Cars in his 9x over Braydon Cromwell of (Lone Jack, Mo.) driving the BCR 4, Ty Hulsey of (Owasso, Ok) in the Risley 24H, Kobe Simpson from (Bonham, Tx) racing the 21K, and Chad Winfrey, (Gladstone, Mo.) wheeling the Chris Parkinson Racing 65w to round out the top 5. While Craig Carroll, (Collinsville, Ok.), Zach Clark (Raymore, Mo.), Buddy Parker, (Wichita Falls, Tx.), Wyatt Burks (Topeka, Ks.), and Chris Parkinson (Gladstone) completed the top 10 finishers at Humboldt Speedway.
For Goff his great night of racing started with a dominating performance in the first Heat winning by a large margin. That performance led to the veteran campaigner starting on the pole for the A feature. At the start however it was Brad Wyatt of (Kearney, Mo.), the second heat winner who seized the lead from his outside front row starting spot. As the race progressed, Goff would pass Wyatt for first place and would never relinquish it.
The driver of the Chad Goff Motorsports machine though was not done as he had to survive not one, but two, green, white, checker, restarts after a battle between Parkinson and Burks resulting in both cars colliding, with Parkinson flipping down the straightaway, and the Burks machine ending up incapacitated between one and two after the veteran chauffeur’s took the white flag. (Both were okay)
From there Goff held of Cromwell, and Hulsey, during a first attempt to finish the race resulted in a Clark spin. And then had to repeat the process again to win his first MWRA feature since July of 2020 at CMS Speedway in Warrensburg, Mo. While also honoring the memory of his good friend the late Scott Seaton who perished after crashing in a winged pavement sprint car race exactly 17 years ago at Auto City Speedway by attaching his good luck (Elvis Stitch) to his roll cage for the nights events.
When the dust settled at Humboldt, Chad Winfrey would win the Hard Charger award presented by the Midwest Wingless Racing Association, after coming from 11th to 5Th. While Parkinson would take the Hard Luck Award presented by Xtreme Color, and Tom Curran, would take the random draw money courtesy of Valor Racing.
The USAC MWRA non winged sprints will now head west to Park City, Kansas, venue, 81 Speedway for the second half of this double header by competing tonight May, 6th for the fourth time in the last four years at the South Central Kansas Facility.
