BRANDON, S.D. — Rees Moran, Trevor Serbus and Mike Chaney corralled victories at Huset’s Speedway on Sunday during the Bull Haulers Brawl presented by Kwik Star and Folkens Brothers Trucking.
Moran picked a great time to garner his first career triumph at the track by halting Ryan Timms’ three-race winning streak during weekly Huset’s Speedway programs to top the $10,057-to-win Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event.
“Dude, words can’t even describe it,” he said. “I knew Ryan was good and I seen him up to second on the board so I knew I had to push it at the end. Man, I’m wore out.”
Mark Dobmeier darted to the lead at the start of the 30-lap race before Moran took the top spot on Lap 7 as Dobmeier was slowed in traffic. Seconds later, as Dobmeier drove to the bottom groove entering turn one, it appeared contact from third-running Dayne Kingshott spun him out.
A dozen laps later, Kingshott dove into turn one lower than Moran to take the lead. However, he spun in turns three and four so Moran reclaimed the top spot. That moved Timms, who started 13th, into the runner-up position for a restart with 11 laps to go. Timms stayed within striking distance before he finished 1.042 seconds behind Moran.
“There at the beginning I was a bit free,” Timms said. “I got my wing back after that open red. Man, it just came to life there for a little bit. I was able to pound the cushion and rail it like those guys, but I had so much more speed than them. I got tight and I think I wheelied up and smoked the fence with the right front and the right rear. It felt like a non-wing car after that. It was still really fast, but was really hard to manage on the cushion. Rees had me covered until we got to lapped traffic there. He was getting obviously held up by lapped cars. I had a chance, just wasn’t able to capitalize on it.”
Kasey Kahne recorded a third-place result.
“It was a pretty wild track the way the track turned out,” he said. “It was fun. I made too many mistakes. I never got a chance to get the lead, but I think we were pretty close. Overall, it was a solid night.”
Sam Henderson placed fourth and Jacob Peterson was fifth.
Serbus drove into the lead on Lap 3 en route to winning the 20-lap Heser Auto & Detailing RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main event. It remains the only Huset’s Speedway division without a repeat winner this season as Serbus became the fifth driver to record a triumph.
“These 305s, you can’t sleep on them,” he said after his third career victory at the track. “There’s a lot of good drivers.”
Dillon Bickett paced the field for the first two laps before Serbus powered into the top spot. A caution two-thirds of the way through the race bunched the field together before Serbus built a 0.820-second lead by the time the checkered flag waved.
Michalob Voeltz was the runner up with Bickett ending third, Corbin Erickson fourth and Braden Ockenga fifth.
Chaney led the distance of a caution-plagued Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event, which featured seven cautions and a green-white-checkered finish that extended the race distance to 19 laps.
“I’m worn out,” he said. “I’m an old guy. I missed my marks a couple of times. It’s good to be back in victory lane. This car is too good not to be in victory lane. It’s good to be here.”
Not only did the cautions keep Chaney out of traffic, the second stoppage of the race occurred at just the right time after J.J. Zebell drove into the lead on Lap 5. Since the lap wasn’t completed, Chaney reclaimed the top spot and he never relinquished it.
Tim Dann finished second by 0.131 seconds with Garet Deboer placing third. Craig Hanisch hustled from 12th to fourth and Cory Yeigh rallied from 15th to fifth.
