Story By: NICK GRAZIANO / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – BRANDON, SD – Huset’s Speedway will welcome back the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series at the end of August to give drivers and fans the marquee event they’ve been waiting for.
After torrential rain flooded the South Dakota facility in June, the crown jewel event was moved to Labor Day weekend with the $25,000-to-win Huset’s Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking finale now on Friday, Aug. 30, and the Huset’s High Bank Nationals presented by Menards on Saturday-Sunday, Aug. 31-Sept. 1, with Sunday’s race paying $100,000 to win.
The first night of the Huset’s Hustle was completed in June with Tyler Courtney scoring his first victory at the track.
Current World of Outlaws points leader David Gravel is the most recent Huset’s High Bank Nationals champion, winning the premier event for the first time last year. Since joining Tod Quiring’s Big Game Motorsports team in 2021, Gravel has been one of the best drivers at his owner’s track, picking up three wins there in the last three years. He’s now one win away from tying 10-time Series champion Donny Schatz for the most Series wins at the track of active drivers.
Huset’s has produced one of the most diverse list of winners, dating back to 2022. There have been nine different winners in the last nine World of Outlaws races at the bullring dirt track – they include Courtney, Gravel, Logan Schuchart, James McFadden, Kyle Larson, Sheldon Haudenschild, Carson Macedo, Michael “Buddy” Kofoid and Spencer Bayston. It’s the longest streak of different winners the track as seen with the Series.
