The 2016 Montezuma County Fair kicked off last friday night with United States Racing Association races at the Fairgrounds Speedway.

The speedway reported 63 cars registered to race across multiple divisions, and it estimated somewhere near 700 spectators had filled the bleachers to take in the action.

After winning their divisions during the July 15 races, Jordan Eddleman, of Kirtland and Zane Devilbliss, of Farmington, took home first place again on Friday.

Eddleman won the Limited Mod class and Devilbliss took the flag in the A-Mods.

Tony Hill, of Cortez – who won the B-Mods in the previous race – came up with another victory, this time, in the Stock Car class.

Bradley Huish won the Mini Sprints, Eugene Felker took first in Sport Compact, Rhett Proctor claimed the Hobby Stocks and Rex Higgins won B-Mods.

Many of the drivers stuck around to race again on Saturday, and Felker and Proctor once again won their divisions.

And then Rex Higgins won the B-Mods and Jacob Gallardo took Modifieds.

The Limited Modified and Stock Car divisions were rained out, but may be made up at a later date.

The next scheduled races are set for Friday, August 12.
