Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (May 9, 2021) – Austin McCarl, Cory Yeigh and Jesse Lindberg kicked off the 2021 season at Huset’s Speedway by earning a trip into Victory Lane on Sunday evening during Rosenbauer America Night.
The Mother’s Day Opener signaled the much anticipated return of weekly racing at the high-banked dirt oval and all three features yielded exciting battles throughout the field.
McCarl hustled from eighth to second and inherited the lead on Lap 20 of the Casey’s 410 Sprint Cars presented by Big Frig main event when polesitter Justin Henderson, who led the first 19 laps, spun after contact with a driver he was attempting to lap. Dominic Scelzi, who had driven from the 14th starting position and was posting the fastest laps on the track while the lead drivers were in traffic, restarted second, but McCarl was efficient to lead the final six laps en route to the victory.
“To be at Huset’s on Mother’s Day again, it just feels right,” he said during an interview in Victory Lane.
Matt Juhl rounded out the podium with Brooke Tatnell placing fourth and Carson McCarl fifth.
Carson McCarl set quick time in qualifying out of the 24 drivers competing to earn the Nordica Wearhouses bonus. Skylar Prochaska, Juhl and Wade Nygaard each won a heat race.
Yeigh was also a big mover in the Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks main event as he powered from seventh to the win. Yeigh quickly maneuvered into third place by using the high side of the track and he pounced on a restart with seven laps remaining to take the lead.
Tim Dann posted a runner-up result with Dan Jensen, who led the first 13 laps of the feature, finishing third. Brandon Ferguson was fourth and Shaun Taylor ended fifth.
Ferguson, Taylor and Yeigh registered heat race triumphs.
Lindberg led the distance of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series A Main for his first career victory at the track. Lee Goos Jr. earned a second-place finish with Dusty Ballenger, Casey Abbas and 16th-starting Shane Fick rounding out the top five, respectively.
Abbas, Bayley Ballenger and Jared Jansen were the heat race winners.
The next race at Huset’s Speedway is Sunday when the Northern Outlaw Sprint Association joins the Casey’s 410 Sprint Cars presented by Big Frig. Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks and the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series will also be in action.
