BRANDON, SD (July 28, 2024) — Garet Williamson, Gaige Weldon and Cory Yeigh drove to victory on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway during The Border Battle presented by Nordstrom’s Automotive.
Williamson used a late-race pass in traffic to capture the $7,500-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event. He became the first repeat winner in the division at the track this season.
“That was probably the most fun I’ve had at this place or really anywhere,” he said. “I peeked up and there was 10 to go and we were third or fourth. I drove the crap out of it. Oh man, that was a lot of fun.”
Brendan Mullen led the first eight laps before Chase Randall took the lead in traffic on Lap 9. Randall’s advantage was more than a second and a half when Williamson passed Mullen for second place on Lap 20. He rapidly closed on Randall a couple of laps later before pulling off a slide job in turns one and two on Lap 24 en route to the race win.
Randall finished second for the fourth time at Huset’s Speedway this season.
“That one kind of stings a little bit,” he said. “I’m proud of our progress tonight. It’s really good to get another good finish, but it stings a little bit. I felt I let that one get away. I was getting too patient behind lapped cars.”
Kerry Madsen rounded out the podium.
“I thought we had a great race car,” he said. “It’s great to get a podium.”
Mullen placed fourth and Tim Kaeding ended fifth.
Gage Pulkrabek set quick time during qualifying before Matt Juhl, Justin Henderson, Kaeding and John Carney II won the heat races. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.
Weldon dominated the non-stop Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main, leading all 20 circuits for his first career triumph at the track. He is the ninth different division winner in nine races this season.
“It feels great,” he said. “It means a lot. We’ve been trying for a couple of weeks now and haven’t had very much luck.”
Nicholas Winter posted a second-place showing with Ryan Serrao finishing third, Amelia Eisenschenk fourth and 12th-starting Brady Donnohue fifth.
Serrao, Cole Olson, Winter and Weldon were the heat race winners. Corbin Erickson scored the B Main victory.
Yeigh became the first driver to record three victories at Huset’s Speedway this season as he topped the 20-lap Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature.
Brandon Ferguson led the first four laps before he caught the infield berm in turns three and four, turning him sideways. Points leader and fifth-running J.J. Zebell had nowhere to go and plowed into Ferguson.
Chris Ellingson inherited the lead and was out front for one lap before ninth-starting Yeigh drove around him on Lap 6. He paced the field on the bottom groove for the remainder of the race to win by 0.929 seconds.
Ellingson held off 12th-starting Matt Steuerwald for the runner-up result. Zach Olivier placed fourth and Billy Prouty was fifth.
Craig Hanisch and Kyle DeBoer recorded heat race wins.
Huset’s Speedway will be dormant for the next three weekends until resuming competition on Aug. 25 for Royal River Casino Night showcasing The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars featuring the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars, the Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series
