BRANDON, S.D. (September 5, 2026) — Michael “Buddy” Kofoid and Riley Dawson each claimed victory on Saturday at Huset’s Speedway during the L.G. Everist Huset’s Shootout presented by Ace Ready Mix.
Kofoid was strong both in traffic and in clean air as he garnered his fourth World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series feature victory at the track this season, this one earning the $15,000 top prize.
“I feel head over heels better than yesterday,” he said. “It was like vintage Huset’s. This is kinda back to where I feel like Huset’s is really good. Hopefully we can just keep building on it. I feel we’re in a good spot for tomorrow.”
Steven Snyder Jr. led the first six laps of the 35-lap main event before Kofoid took the lead on Lap 7 via the bottom groove in turn four. The drivers were in traffic at that point and with the first 28 laps running non-stop, Kofoid picked through traffic and was comfortably in command leading up to the lone stoppage of the race.
A red flag on Lap 29 for seventh-running Gage Pulkrabek getting upside down bunched the field together, but Kofoid launched on the restart and held off Garet Williamson by 0.769 seconds as traffic reappeared in the final couple of laps. It was Kofoid’s 12th World of Outlaws win of the season – the most in the Series – and his ninth career victory at Huset’s Speedway – tied for the second most in Series history.
“It was pretty hectic,” he said. “I do enjoy traffic when it’s like that. It’s a little more nerve-wracking when you’re leading. I feel like I picked off quite a bit of them pretty quick. There was a point where I got to racing with some of them guys and we were kinda evened out. Then we had the red.
“Just a good night. I’m happy to get another win here.”
Garet Williamson moved to second place on Lap 9 and ran in that position for the remainder of the race.
“Really fast paced,” he said. “You put Buddy on the front row at Huset’s and he’s going to set a torrid pace and that’s what he did. He got through lapped traffic really good. I thought we had a really good car. Two second place for us (in a row) feels really good.”
Sheldon Haudenschild, who was victorious at Huset’s Speedway on Friday, rounded out the podium.
“Happy with the night,” he said. “It’s a great time coming to Huset’s. We love coming here. Thank you to Tod and Taylor Quiring, man, for putting these races on and all these fans that showed up.”
Logan Schuchart placed fourth and Snyder Jr. ended fifth.
David Gravel was quickest in qualifying for the fifth consecutive World of Outlaws race. Ryan Timms, Christopher Thram, Williamson and Kofoid topped the heat races. Snyder Jr. was the dash winner and Chris Windom was victorious in the Last Chance Showdown.
Dawson led the final four circuits of the non-stop, 12-lap 600cc Winged Micro Sprints feature – the first at Huset’s Speedway in approximately a decade.
Luke Garner paced the field for the first eight laps before Dawson got underneath Garner in turns three and four on Lap 9. Dawson pulled away in the closing laps to win by 1.014 seconds for his first career victory at the track.
“I don’t know if I was faster than him,” he said. “I just caught him in lapped traffic. He went high and I went low, and I saw the opportunity. I slid two of them and I got him and then I checked out from there.”
Garner finished second with Cael Klosterbuer in third. Regan Rosenboom placed fourth and Collin Rutten was fifth.
Garner set quick time during qualifying before Dawson and Klosterbuer won the heat races.
The L.G. Everist Huset’s Shootout concludes on Sunday with the night presented by Myrl & Roy’s Paving. A unique World of Outlaws program will feature inverted heat races with the lineups determined by accumulated points through the first two nights of this weekend. Haudenschild and Kofoid are tied atop the event standings.
Sunday’s Huset’s Shootout finale is the final race of the season at Huset’s Speedway.
The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 p.m.
