Henigan roars to victory in USRA American Racer Modified Series opener at Ark-La-Tex Speedway

By USRA (Vivian, LA) -- Chris Henigan of Marshall, Texas, led all 35 laps Saturday en route to topping the Spears Oil & Gas season-opening event for the USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports at the Ark-La-Tex Speedway.

When Henigan starts on the pole at the high-banked red clay oval in Vivian, La., the rest of the field usually needs a little divine intervention to help their cause. The spirits of good fortune were with Henigan from start to finish Saturday.

Thanks to a $500 bonus from Spears Oil & Gas, Henigan pocketed $3,500 for his efforts as he kept ‘Big Daddy’ Joe Duvall in his rearview mirror the entire distance.

For Duvall, he had his hands full the entire race. After battling with Chris Dawson early on, the Sooner State speedster had to fend off multiple threats from multiple racers including third-place finisher Tanner Mullens, who started 20th, and defending series champ Triston Dycus.

Manuel Williams Jr. finished fifth while Mike Dillard, Sean Gaddis, Casey Roderick, Jared Russell and Dillon McCowan rounded out the top 10.

In USRA Limited Mod action, Ricky Ingalls of Longview, Texas, grabbed the checkered flag with Colby Mewborn, Aaron Roy, Colby Williams and Adam Roy crossing the finish line in second, third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

Stopping a sweep by Texas competitors, Shreveport’s Shawn Graham scored a victory in the Sunoco USRA Factory Stock main event while Joshua Martin, Scotty Case, David Vosbury and Brandon Brown completed the top five.

Another two in the Bayou April 8-9: The American Racer Modified Series remains in the Pelican State for the next doubleheader slated for Friday, April 8, at the Sabine Speedway in Many, La., and Saturday, April 9, at the Super Bee Speedway in Chatham, La.

Each event will pay $2,000 to the winner and no less than $200 to start the main event. Both nights will also be the debut of the ARMS warriors at the pair of popular clay ovals located 99 miles apart on Highway 34.

Continuing to crush it: Year after year, the USRA continues to attract more racetracks and dirt racing competitors through fair, logical and cost-effective rules accompanied by an organization that puts the racers and racetrack operators first.

For the upcoming 2022 campaign for the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series, there are currently more than 50 of America’s finest dirt ovals which will host over 1,000 nights of racing this season.
