(November 13, 2010)- 2010 IMCA Modified Utah State Champion, Wyatt Howard of Price, Utah entered the 13th annual IMCA Duel in the Desert at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada for the first time in. The rookie raced well as he competed against 231 other IMCA Modified drivers and was the best Utah driver all weekend.
Howard started the weekend off by winning his heat race, which was his first ever race on the half mile famous speed-plant. Howard made the A-Main Qualifying Feature which the top-four finishers in that race made the $7,777 to win main event for Saturday.
Howard started third but fell to eighteenth due to the over aggressive driving by the other drivers. Howard was seen racing against IMCA's best in that feature. Howard did the same for Friday as he won his B-Feature, making another qualifying feature. Howard raced to a twenty-first finish after starting near the rear of the field.
Howard had to race the likes of “The Animal” Jeff Taylor and 2009 IMCA Supernationals winner, Randy Havlik. Howard then had to run in the Last Chance Qualifier on Saturday (Winner advances to main event), Wyatt finished only a few spots off of making the feature.
All in all, Howard had a really good weekend and will be a force to reckon with in 2011.
