Grueling slate
begins Tuesday at Huset’s Speedway, takes USMTS road warriors to 17 tracks
in 19 days
BRANDON, S.D. (June 5) – Six straight events in the Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Great
Plains Region are on tap this week as the rugged USMTS road warriors embark
on their most grueling stretch of races this week with 17 nights of racing
over the course of 19 days.
What most race tracks and/or series do in a single season, the USMTS Casey’s
General Stores National Tour powered by Swan Energy pounds into one month,
beginning at the popular Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, S.D., on Tuesday, June
7, for the first of 12 straight nights of competition.
Kelly Shryock visited victory lane in the first two installments at the
Huset’s Speedway in 2006 and 2007. Al Hejna emerged victorious in 2008,
Jason Krohn was the winner in 2009 and Ryan Gustin is the defending champion
of the event.
Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 7 and racing at 7:30.
Race fans can pick up $2-off discount coupons on Tuesday at all Casey’s
General Stores locations in Brandon and Sioux Falls. For more information or

The Huset's Speedway is located east of Brandon on I-90 to Exit 406, then
2.5 miles south on SR 11. For more information, call the track office at
605-582-3819 or the track hotline on race day at 605-582-3536 or check out
www.husets-speedway.com on the World Wide Web.
After racing at the high-banked 3/8-mile bullring, drivers will trek north
on Wednesday and battle at the Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo, N.D.,
where Ken Schrader picked up his first ever USMTS win last season.
On Thursday the series will move south to the Casino Speedway in Watertown,
S.D., then back to the north again with the second visit in as many seasons
to the Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen, S.D., before rolling back to Don
Gumke’s Jamestown Speedway in Jamestown, N.D., which has produced some of
the best USMTS action in the past
Sunday, June 11, will see the series make its first of two appearances at
the Nobles County Speedway in Worthington, Minn., and then on Monday the
series will make its way back into the Hawkeye State for a visit to the
Mineral City Speedway in Fort Dodge.
Both of these last two races will also feature the popular Iron Man
Challenge for USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars and USRA Karl Performance Parts
B-Mods.
On Tuesday, the USMTS Casey’s General Stores National Tour powered by Swan
Energy will move to the north for a stop at Joe Ringsdorf’s Fairmont Raceway
in Fairmont, Minn., before a move back to the east at the Cresco Speedway in
Cresco, Iowa.
From there, it’s off to Wisconsin for the final three stops of this swing
before the drivers and crews get a well-deserved couple of days to catch
their collective breath.
The first-ever visit to the Central Wisconsin Speedway in Unity, Wis., takes
place on Thursday, June 16, before making a much-anticipated return to the
Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., for two straight nights of
$2,000-to-win racing action.
While off for two days, be sure to check out Apple River which is right by
the Cedar Lake Speedway – a good way to spend your first day off relaxing
and floating down the river with a few cold ones.
Racing action returns with a visit to the I-35 Speedway in Mason City, Iowa,
on Tuesday, June 21, and then moves to the Buena Vista Raceway in Alta,
Iowa, on Wednesday for the annual “Battle at The Beaver.”
Thursday will find the USMTS Modifieds back at the Park Jefferson Speedway
in Jefferson, S.D., before the final two nights of action at the Rapid
Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa, on Friday, June 24, with the final trek back
to the north and the final stop of the grueling month of June at the
newly-configured North Central Speedway in Brainerd, Minn.
