By Jeff Fehr (Humboldt, KS) -- When the alarm went off this morning, Tad Davis got and went to work knowing that he put a long evening of hard work to pick up an ever-elusive NCRA Modified victory at Humboldt Speedway on Friday night. Davis, from Mt.Hope, Kansas, held off hard hitters such as Arizona's RC Whitwell and current track points leader Tanner Mullens for 25 circuits to pick up his first NCRA victory.
