BRANDON, S.D. — Garet Williamson, Brady Donnohue and J.J. Zebell each maneuvered to their first feature victory of the season at Huset’s Speedway on Sunday during Metro Construction Night.
The three new winners now make 20 different winners in 22 main events at the high-banked track this season.
Williamson led the final 11 laps of the Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars and Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event, which saw a green-white-checkered finish as Williamson was in turn four on the final scheduled lap when the caution came out.
“The car was phenomenal,” he said after pulling away to a comfortable triumph following the late restart. “That was a blast to drive. Tonight we put a whole night together. We were really great. When everything clicks, it’s really nice.”
Justin Henderson paced the field for the first dozen laps before Kerry Madsen powered from third into the lead on the bottom of turns one and two on Lap 13. On the ensuing lap, Madsen narrowly made contact with a sideways car he was attempting to lap, spinning out in turns one and two. That gave the top spot back to Henderson, who led for the next lap before Williamson drove around him in turns three and four.
Despite thick traffic and a late-race restart, Williamson was efficient to score his second career victory at the track. He became the division’s seventh different winner in seven weekly races this season.
“The track was phenomenal,” he said. “It opened up really nice. I love racing here. It’s really fun. We’ve been struggling so this one is really big. It’s so hard to win a race; it doesn’t matter where you go.”
Chase Randall finished with a runner-up result for the third time at the track this season.
“It was a great night, all in all,” he said. “We had a strong car.”
Mark Dobmeier recorded his first podium finish of the season at Huset’s Speedway with a third-place outing.
Henderson placed fourth and Tim Estenson tied a career-best result at Huset’s Speedway with a fifth-place finish.
Donnohue used the top of the track to take the lead near the midpoint of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main event to garner his first career triumph at the track. He is the seventh different division victor this year.
“I didn’t really expect to win my first year out,” he said. “That turned out to be a really good track. It slicked off nice and was awesome.”
Taylor Forbes led early and focused on the bottom lane before multiple drivers began using the top of the track to move forward. Donnohue, who started seventh, pounced shortly after a red flag on lap five with Brandon Bosma and Shayle Bade making waves on the outside line as well. The final caution occurred on lap 16 when Bosma spun after he and Bade made contact entering turn one.
Bade finished with a charge from 10th to second place. Cole Vanderheiden maneuvered from 13th to third. Trefer Waller was fourth and Koby Werkmeister rallied from 18th to fifth.
Zebell hustled from 13th to capture his eighth career Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature victory at Huset’s Speedway.
“That’s what I’ve worked on this year is being patient,” he said. “I just weaved my way through and had a couple of good luck (moments).”
Kinzer Glanzer led the first six laps before he and second-running Tracy Halouska connected and came to a stop in turns one and two. Garet Deboer inherited the top spot and held the point for a trio of laps before he spun entering turn one on a restart on lap 10. Zebell moved into the lead and held off 11th-starting Matt Steuerwald to extend his lead in the championship standings.
