Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (Sept. 20, 2022) – Brooke Tatnell, Jacob Hughes and Zach Olivier each earned a coveted Huset’s Speedway track championship during a competitive season at the high-banked dirt oval.
A total of 32 different drivers garnered at least one trip into the Winner’s Circle as the track welcomed several marquee series in addition to the tightly contested weekly program to the tune of 49 main events.
Tatnell became the first-ever Australian champion by winning the Casey’s 410 Sprint Cars presented by Big Frig title by a mere three points over 2021 track champion Justin Henderson. Austin McCarl ended only 12 points out of the top spot with Matt Juhl 20 points behind Tatnell and Kaleb Johnson 31 points back.
Ryan Timms led the division with a trio of feature victories. Mark Dobmeier and Tatnell were tied for second with a pair of wins. Corey Day, Lynton Jeffrey, Parker Price-Miller, Aaron Reutzel and Giovanni Scelzi also captured weekly program triumphs.
The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series invaded the oval for four straight nights featuring four different winners. Spencer Bayston, Michael ‘Buddy’ Kofoid and Carson Macedo posted wins prior to Sheldon Haudenschild taking the $100,000 top prize for winning the inaugural Huset’s High Banks Nationals thanks to a last-lap pass. It marked the biggest paying sports event in South Dakota history.
Hughes claimed the Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series championship by one point over Lee Goos Jr. Brandon Bosma finished third – 18 points behind Hughes – with 2021 champion Dusty Ballenger (38 points back) and Koby Werkmeister (39 points back) rounding out the top five.
Bosma scored a division-best three triumphs and Ballenger recorded a pair of victories. Jack Berger, Goos Jr., Sam Henderson, Trevor Serbus and Werkmeister were single-race winners.
