Tanner Mullens
Ninth-place finish in King of America XII opener at Humboldt
Thursday saw Tanner Mullens return to action with the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) at Humboldt Speedway (Humboldt, Kan.) as the King of America XII presented by Shocker Hitch came to life.
With 63 Modifieds entered for the three-day event, Mullens timed in second-fastest in his group before placing third in his heat. With $3,000 on the line in Thursday’s preliminary, Tanner gained two spots to finish ninth.
With Friday’s event falling to Mother Nature, Tanner secured his spot into the $12,000-to-win King of America XII finale on Saturday with a consolation victory after going from sixth-to-fourth in his heat. Starting in 14th, Mullens challenged for the top-10 early but ended up retiring on lap 39.
