Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (June 18, 2023) – Ayrton Gennetten, J.J. Zebell and Dalton Domagala each stood atop the Huset’s Speedway podium on Sunday during Goodin Company presents The Border Battle.
Gennetten held the point throughout the 25-lap Cressman Sanitation 410 Outlaw Sprint Cars main event, which paid $10,000 to win. It marked his first career victory at Huset’s Speedway.
“I’ve been wanting to win here for a long time so this is pretty badass to say the least,” he said. “Last year here I felt like I let one slip away. We’ve been really fast. I knew when we drew the two it’s like I had to get out on the start.”
Gennetten rocketed into the lead as the green flag waved with Tim Kaeding staying a close second throughout the race. Kaeding pulled nearly even with Gennetten a couple of times during the second half of the feature before a caution on Lap 23 eliminated traffic. Gennetten pulled away in the final three laps to win by 1.732 seconds.
“(Ryan) Bickett was so good on the bottom and I was like, ‘Man, I’m just going to ride next to him cause then (Kaeding) can’t slide me. And I knew it was rubber down so if I got up to them guys it’d allow TK to pull the trigger. That last yellow I was able to take a deep breath and focus on getting a good start.”
Kaeding’s runner-up result was his best outing of the season at Huset’s Speedway.
“Just being out front,” he said of what was the difference maker. “I didn’t want to get too close to him and get tight and drive up out of the rubber at any point.”
Christopher Thram posted a season-best third-place run at the track.
“Me and Mark (Dobmeier) had a pretty good time before the rubber came,” he said. “I felt like we were good in traffic. I could move around more, but then the rubber came. I wish we could have got up to a little more lapped traffic at the beginning of the race, but you’ve got to be happy with a third.”
Dobmeier was fourth and Dusty Zomer fifth.
Riley Goodno and Lachlan McHugh each set quick time during their group’s qualifying session before Kaeding, Gennetten, Zomer and Thram won heat races. Lee Goos Jr. captured the B Main.
Zebell was one of four different feature leaders as he posted his second Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stocks triumph of the season at Huset’s Speedway with a last-lap pass.
Spenser Kalass led the opening lap before Shaun Taylor took over the top spot on Lap 2. Zebell powered into the lead on Lap 9 before Zach Olivier, who started 10th, drove into first place on the bottom exiting turn four as the white flag was being waved. Zebell committed to the high line around the high-banked oval and his momentum gained yielded the reward. The duo entered turn three side by side for the lead before Zebell’s outside groove propelled him to the victory by 0.283 seconds.
“I owed him one,” he quipped. “He got me last time last year. I seen him come low. I put it on the high side and let her eat one more time and we got by him.”
Olivier placed second with Matt Steuerwald ending third. Taylor was fourth and Brandon Ferguson finished fifth.
Kalass, Zebell and Taylor picked up heat race wins.
Domagala earned his first career victory and became the sixth different winner in six Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series main events at the track this season.
“This really doesn’t feel real,” he said while fighting back tears. “This is amazing. My car felt great up top and I was just consistent up there waiting for him to make a mistake. Toward the end I started getting quite a bit of speed down the front straight. I saw a gap and I took it.”
Nicholas Winter led the first 15 laps of the 20-lap feature. Winter was comfortably in the lead by riding the bottom groove around the dirt oval. The lone caution of the race came on Lap 14 – when second-running Dan Carsrud spun in turns one and two – and allowed Domagala to close to the rear bumper of Winter.
Winter pulled away on the opening lap of the restart, but the higher lane Domagala was running paid dividends and he rapidly closed on the leader, taking over the top spot exiting turn four on Lap 16. He then pulled away to win by 0.728 seconds.
Trevor Serbus, who started 12th, passed Winter for second on Lap 17. Goos Jr. charged from 14th to fourth and Jared Jansen rounded out the top five.
The heat races were won by Dalton Domagala, Jacob Peterson, Logan Domagala and Jansen. Cole Vanderheiden was the B Main winner.
