Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (May 15, 2022) – Lynton Jeffrey, Trevor Serbus and Cory Yeigh conquered the competition on Sunday evening during Spartan ER Night at Huset’s Speedway.
Jeffrey was out front throughout the 25-lap Casey’s 410 Sprint Cars presented by Big Frig main event, but rubber on the track and thick traffic in the closing laps kept the outcome up in the air until Jeffrey crossed the finish line first for his first feature win at Huset’s Speedway since June 2010.
“It’s a long time, isn’t it,” he noted in Victory Lane. “I led a few. I led that last one last year. I felt like I had that one. I was probably better that night than tonight. I love Huset’s. This place has been a second home to me. 2000 was the first time I come here.”
Dusty Zomer stalked Jeffrey throughout the event. The duo entered traffic on Lap 7 and a couple of close calls allowed Zomer to pull within a car length. The final opportunity came on the last lap when Jeffrey got tight in turns one and two, slightly pushing up the track and allowing Zomer to nearly pull to the outside entering turn three. Jeffrey’s car did the same thing in turns three and four, but he was able to hold off Zomer for the victory by 0.119 seconds.
“The biggest thing with rubber is you don’t want to get up on the guy’s bumper because then you get tight,” Zomer said. “I knew I had a chance when he slipped up in (turns) one and two. We gave it our all and it was a good finish.”
Defending track champion Justin Henderson rounded out the podium.
“We’re enjoying what we do,” he said. “A bad day at the race track beats a good day at work.”
Aaron Reutzel finished fourth and Ayrton Gennetten ended fifth.
Jeffrey set quick time during qualifying to kick off the night before Mark Dobmeier, Reutzel and Ryan Timms produced heat race wins.
Serbus used the top groove to hustle from sixth to earn his first career Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series triumph at the track. He took the lead on Lap 6 en route to winning by 4.226 seconds.
“It feels pretty good,” he said. “I’ve been coming here ever since I was a little kid, watching the races and just wishing I could race a sprint car some day and here I am.
“You just race as fast as you can. Be the mouse and let everyone else be the cats. It’s my dream to win here and we finally got it done.”
Ninth-starting Lee Goos Jr. passed Koby Werkmeister, who led the first five laps of the 20-lap A Main, for the runner-up position on the final lap. Brandon Bosma charged from 12th to fourth and reigning track champion Dusty Ballenger was fifth.
Cole Vanderheiden, Mike Moore, Goos Jr. and Serbus were the heat race winners. Blaine Stegenga captured the B Main.
Yeigh led all 18 laps to score the victory in the Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks feature. Yeigh, the defending track champion, was unable to start the main event during last week’s season opener because of mechanical woes. He made up for that on Sunday with a dominating performance from the pole position, outlasting the competition on the bottom groove despite five cautions that bunched the field together for a handful of restarts.
“I hate starting on the pole,” he said. “Me and Matt were talking about that before the race.”
Dustin Gulbrandson hounded Yeigh throughout the feature, staying within a couple of car lengths throughout the race. But it was 12th-starting Matt Steuerwald, who won the season opener a week ago, making a late charge on the outside to pass Gulbrandson on the final lap and close within 0.130 of Yeigh as the checkered flag was waved. Aaron Foote and Jeff Wittrock rounded out the top five, respectively.
Yeigh and Mike Chaney each won a heat race.
The season continues at Huset’s Speedway next Sunday during I-29 RV SuperCenter Night featuring the Casey’s 410 Sprint Cars presented by Big Frig, the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series and the Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks.
