Promoters Ron and Rhenda Whitworth have been slowly, but surely, making Humboldt Speedway a better place to race. Since taking ownership of the speedway, fans and drivers have witnessed many improvements each year.

In what may be a first in organized racing, three of the four drivers that captured the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series titles in 2007 repeated the feat in 2008. Brad Waits captured his second straight USRA Modified crown, while the same can be said for Tom Schmitt (USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars) and Matt Jones (USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods). Jason McDaniel (USRA Hobby Stocks) won his first title after finishing second last year.

Congratulations to Jess Folk Jr., the Humboldt Speedway's 2008 USRA Modified track champions, and, a "well done" to all who participated in the 21 races held this season. The top-10 drivers in each class, plus those with perfect attendence, will be honored at the banquet to be held at the Outlaws Steak House on Oct. 17.
