BRANDON, S.D. — Ryan Timms, Jared Jansen and Cory Yeigh each earned their first win at Huset’s Speedway this season on Sunday during Frankman Motor Company Night.
Timms led the distance of the 25-lap Cressman Sanitation Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars and Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event for his seventh career triumph at the track.
“Any time you win one race it’s awesome let alone three in the same weekend,” said Timms, who was also victorious on Friday and Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. “I’m just really happy we were able to get that one out of the way. I feel like I improve a lot every time we hit the track. It’s awesome winning. It’s great winning. I’m super excited and hopefully we can keep going.”
It took three attempts to get the A Main going with a red on the initial start followed by a caution during the second attempt. Timms was on point once the race officially started. A couple of cautions just after the midpoint of the feature bunched the field together, but Timms was strong on each restart en route to the victory by 1.576 seconds.
Hunter Schuerenberg garnered a runner-up result during his first visit to the track this season.
“To start fifth on a pretty technical race track and to run up to second, I’m happy with it,” he said. “I feel like maybe the results don’t always show it the last two or three weeks, but I feel every time I climb in this car the last month we keep getting a little more comfortable.”
Ayrton Gennetten, another first-time visitor this season, rounded out the podium.
“The track tonight was in phenomenal shape,” he said. “I thought on the restart before Schuerenberg got me if I could just run the bottom hard enough for a corner or two maybe I could slide Timms, but he was too good. I’m at least happy trying something, trying to win the race.”
Kerry Madsen was fourth and points leader Kaleb Johnson, who won the first three races at Huset’s Speedway this season, placed fifth.
Jansen made a late-race pass to score his second career Heser Auto & Detailing RaceSaver Sprint Car Series victory.
Sawyer Grogan paced the field for the first 18 laps before Jansen drove into the lead using the bottom groove in turns one and two on Lap 19. Tye Wilke followed Jansen by Grogan for second, but flipped in turns one and two on the final scheduled lap. That set up a green-white-checkered restart with Jansen holding off Grogan by 0.934 seconds.
“It’s better to be running second than it is to be leading a lot of times,” he said. “You could see the top going away. I just had to slow down going in and gas it going out.”
Jansen, who started the race sixth, is the fourth different driver to win in the division during four races this season.
Aydin Lloyd ran third with Nick Barger fourth and Jeremiah Jordahl fifth.
Yeigh became the fourth different Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature winner in four races at the track this season.
Kyle DeBoer led the first two laps before Trevor Tesch powered around him in turns three and four to take over the top spot on Lap 3. A caution on Lap 13 bunched the field together and when Tesch pushed up the track in turns one and two on the restart, sixth-starting Yeigh darted to the lead with Matt Steuerwald following into second place.
The final caution came out on the ensuing lap when Tesch sustained front end damage. Yeigh was strong on the restart to win by 0.382 seconds.
“I just got luckier than everybody else I guess,” he said. “You have to be so aggressive and I don’t like to drive like that. With the way it’s been going you have to.”
Steuerwald finished second with DeBoer ending third. Dustin Gulbrandson charged from 18th to fourth and Chris Ellingson hustled from 14th to fifth.
