Tyler Davis backed up his first USRA Modified National Championship in 2022 with a second straight title this year after a back-and-forth battle with Brandon Davis and Ryan Middaugh.
Davis competed in 33 USRA Modified events this season and finished inside the top five 25 times. He went to victory lane 16 times during his championship run.
The 33-year-old from Haysville, Kan., had 10 wins at his home track 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., as well as victories the Humboldt Speedway, Salina High Banks Speedway, Lakeside Speedway and Lucas Oil Speedway.
The battle for the title came down to the final weekend of competition in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series with Brandon Davis settling for second place in the final standings and Middaugh finishing third.
The final margin of victory for Davis over Brandon Davis was a mere 14 points. Middaugh, who led early in the campaign wound up with the most wins (18), most top-five (34) and most top-10 (39) finishes but car count and passing points bonuses were his undoing.
Davis is now tied with Brandon Davis with two USRA Modified national titles. Lucas Schott, Jason Cummins and Brad Waits also have two titles each. Only Davis and Waits have done it back to back.
