BRANDON, S.D. – Perseverance is the word of the week for Huset’s Speedway officials and employees, who have worked diligently since an extreme storm damaged the facility late Sunday night.
Nearly three dozen people spent the day on Monday cleaning up, with various contractors called to the facility to ensure that the track is ready to host the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series this Sunday.Â
Casey’s 410 Sprint Cars presented by Big Frig join the World of Outlaws and the Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks division will also be in action.
Sunday marks the first of four World of Outlaws races at the track this season, and the lone opportunity prior to the $100,000-to-win Huset’s High Bank Nationals, which runs June 23-25.
Brad Sweet currently leads the World of Outlaws championship standings by only 34 points over Sheldon Haudenschild, who has won three of the last four races.
Huset’s Speedway sponsored driver David Gravel is 46 points behind Sweet with Carson Macedo 66 points out of the lead and Logan Schuchart 80 points away from the top spot.
Gravel captured two of the three World of Outlaws wins at Huset’s Speedway last year with Aaron Reutzel also posting a victory.
Justin Henderson holds a six-point advantage over Austin McCarl in the Casey’s 410 Sprint Cars presented by Big Frig championship standings.Â
