"I'm so excited to be racing at Humboldt Speedway again," commented MLRA Promoter Harriett Chancellor. "We have heard about all the wonderful improvements Ron Whitworth and his wife Rhenda have made to the facility, it will be a special race this season for sure."  It's the first time the series has competed at the southeastern Kansas oval since the 2003 season.
