BRANDON, S.D. — Ryan Timms, Gavin Gregory and Cory Yeigh hit the jackpot at Huset’s Speedway on Sunday during Royal River Casino Night.
Timms produced his third straight Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars weekly program victory at Huset’s Speedway, becoming the first three-time winner at the track this season.
“It was a great race, a great race track,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting it to be this wide and slick at all. I’m happy to be standing here.”
Dayne Kingshott paced the field for the first 15 laps before Timms capitalized on a slide job in turns one and two to power into the top spot. He maintained the lead despite battling traffic and a tricky track in the waning laps, winning by 0.940 seconds.
“There was a couple mistakes I made there in traffic,” Timms said. “Fortunate enough for me, I had a lapped car or two behind me taking up the inside to kind of block for me. It was really thin off (turn) two. I got into the wall once there. I was having trouble getting across (turn) two very fast. Across the whole surface was pretty slick. Even the brown streaks around the middle didn’t have a lot of grip. It seemed like a lot of the lapped cars were also struggling to get across there.”
Kingshott posted a career-best second-place result at the track.
“We’re definitely making gains and trending in the right direction, which is good,” he said. “I feel we had a really good car there. I just made a mistake there in turn four. That’s all it takes for this guy to beat you. It’s so tough here. It’s cool to be getting better and hopefully we can keep progressing.”
Kaleb Johnson completed the podium.
“We’re happy with a podium, especially with how the last couple of races have gone here,” he said. “The hard work hasn’t stopped and we have a busy week ahead. I think we’re definitely headed in the right direction. We’re doing this with a big-track motor. That makes us feel a little better.”
J.J. Hickle finished fourth and Jy Corbet advanced from 13th to fifth.
Gregory dominated the 20-lap Heser Auto & Detailing RaceSaver Sprint Car Series feature, building more than a five-second lead before ending with a 3.755-second margin of victory while scoring his first career win at the track.
“It’s (an) unreal feeling,” he said. “This is amazing. I’ve got so many great people behind me. A year ago I was racing karts and now we’re here in Victory Lane at Huset’s.”
Lee Goos Jr. charged from 13th to garner a second-place finish with Mason Slendy, Jared Jansen and 12th-starting Aydin Lloyd rounded out the top five, respectively.
Yeigh led all but the first lap of the 18-lap Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event to become the first repeat winner in the division this season. It marked his 25th career triumph at the track.
“It is special,” he said. “Coming here as a kid, I never would have dreamt it. This is pretty bad ass really.”
Yeigh passed Paul Lebahn for the top spot on Lap 2 and survived five restarts that were spread evenly to keep him out of traffic en route to winning by 0.684 seconds.
J.J. Zebell was the runner up with Matt Steuerwald placing third. Brett Martin ended fourth and Tracy Halouska was fifth.
