BRANDON, S.D. (May 8, 2023) – It is finally race week at Huset’s Speedway, which kicks off the season this Sunday with the Mother’s Day Opener presented by Northwest Tire Inc.
All three regular divisions – the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series and the Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks – will be in action.
The gates open at 4:30 p.m. with racing at 7:30 p.m.
The Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars division pays at least $5,000 to win during each main event this season. The runner up will garner $4,000 and the third-place finisher earns $3,000.
As a reminder, the division champion at Huset’s Speedway will pocket $12,000 with second place scoring $8,000 and third place garnering $6,000. The top 15 in points who are eligible will receive points fund money.
Drivers accumulate points for qualifying, heat races and the main event during each race. A driver can miss one points race throughout the season and remain eligible for the points fund.
Brooke Tatnell is the defending track champion as he bested 2021 champion Justin Henderson by only three points. The top seven in the final standings were separated by less than 50 points with Austin McCarl (12 points behind Tatnell), Matt Juhl (20 points), Kaleb Johnson (31 points), Jack Dover (37 points) and Mark Dobmeier (46 points) placing third through seventh, respectively.
