BRANDON, S.D. (August 25, 2024) — Ryan Timms, Jared Jansen and Brandon Ferguson cashed in on Sunday at Huset’s Speedway, which hosted Royal River Casino Night featuring The Bull Haulers Brawl Championship Night for Sprint Cars presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.
All three drivers reached the top step on the podium on a night when Kaleb Johnson (Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars) and Brady Donnohue (Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series) captured their first career track championships at the high-banked oval.
“I’m proud of my guys,” Johnson said. “They busted their butts each and every week not only here but across the Midwest. We’re just out here having fun and making memories.”
“It’s pretty surreal,” Donnohue said. “I didn’t have this on my goals for this year. I’m just tickled to death.”
Andy Pake led the first six laps of the 25-lap, $7,000-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event before Timms pounced in traffic. Aaron Reutzel was all over Pake in the battle for the lead amidst traffic, but it was Timms who rocketed by both drivers down the backstretch on Lap 7.
Timms set a torrid pace for the remainder of the race, winning by 2.034 seconds. It was his second victory of the season at the dirt track.
“There at the start we were really loose,” he said. “I got my wing back. Reutzel had got by me at that point. We got into lapped traffic and it was slowing their pace up quite a bit. All of a sudden I was driving by both of them down the backstretch. The car was amazing.”
Reutzel executed a slide job for the top spot on a restart on Lap 17, but Timms turned his car underneath Reutzel exiting turn four to maintain the lead. Reutzel’s runner-up result was his best outing at Huset’s Speedway this year.
“I don’t think I got the car where I needed it tonight and I don’t think I did a good job of driving,” he said. “I had one shot at him, but it was such a Hail Mary that he had all the time to turn down. I gave it my all, just once again it wasn’t meant to be. It was a cowboy-up track. Traffic was fun. All in all, it was a good night. I wish I was one spot better, but we’ll just have to take it.”
Dusty Zomer placed third for his best finish of the season at the track.
“Tonight the track was real heavy so everyone was going to be fast,” he said. “Starting sixth, we’ll take a podium out of it.”
Kerry Madsen was the fourth-place finisher and Pake ended fifth.
Reutzel set quick time during qualifying to open the program before Pake, Brendan Mullen, Brant O’Banion and Justin Henderson produced heat race wins. Tyler Drueke was the B Main winner.
Jansen led all 20 laps to score his first career Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series at Huset’s Speedway, where he became the 10 th different winner in 10 division races this season.
“I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time,” he said. “We’ve been doing this for darn near 20 years and hadn’t won one here.”
Dan Carsrud, John Lambertz, 16th-starting Shayle Bade and 11th-starting Zach Patterson rounded out the top five, respectively.
Lambertz, Lee Goos Jr., Jeremiah Jordahl and Carsrud were the heat race winners. Gaige Weldon picked up the B Main win.
Ferguson led the distance of the Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event for his first win of the season at Huset’s Speedway. He became the seventh different winner in the division this year.
“It’s been a terrible year and on this hot day I second guessed even wanting to come out,” he said. “I’m so glad we did.”
A trio of cautions in the second half of the feature bunched the field together, but Ferguson hit his marks consistently to win by 0.777 seconds.
Kinzer Glanzer finished second with points leader J.J. Zebell advancing from ninth to third. Garet Deboer placed fourth and 11th-starting Matt Steuerwald maneuvered to fifth.
The heat races were won by Ferguson, Tracy Halouska and Craig Hanisch.
The 2024 racing season at Huset’s Speedway wraps up next weekend with a special three nights of action featuring the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. On Friday, it’s the Huset’s Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking featuring the World of Outlaws and the final Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks race of the season. The World of Outlaws will return to the high-banked track on Saturday and Sunday for the BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS.
