BRANDON, S.D. — Sheldon Haudenschild and Mike Chaney both pocketed a big payday at Huset's Speedway on Friday night during the Huset's Hustle presented by Folkens Brothers Trucking.
Haudenschild topped a thrilling World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series main event to score the $25,000 top prize. Chaney made the most of his first career Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks win at the track during the $5,000-to-win feature - the biggest payout in division history.
Additionally, the final track champion of the season was determined as J.J. Zebell captured the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks title for the first time in his career.
Emerson Axsom held the top spot for the first 22 laps of the 35-lap World of Outlaws main event, but Haudenschild was all over him as the duo diced through traffic. Haudenschild executed a slide job into turn three to take the lead on Lap 23, but Axsom returned the favor by hitting the bottom groove perfectly in turns one and two on the ensuing lap. He pulled in front of Haudenschild to regain the lead entering turn three. The lone caution of the race came out on the next lap as the drivers were side by side.
Haudenschild powered into the lead for good in turn two on the restart with 11 laps remaining and held off a late charge from Buddy Kofoid for his third career World of Outlaws victory at Huset's Speedway.
"(Axsom) was doing a great job," said Haudenschild, who has produced a podium result in his last five World of Outlaws races. "I feel like we got him in traffic and was probably a little nice and he got back by us. I didn't really know what to expect on that restart. I'm really surprised he didn't rip the top and I was able to get around him."
Kofoid's second-place showing from the ninth starting position marked his third straight podium run.
"I was able to chase people down in dirty air," he said. "Every time we come here I feel we're exceptionally good. I was able to run Sheldon down, but I kinda ran out of time. It's nice to know we have good speed, good enough speed to win. We'll see if we can be one spot better and hopefully get some redemption on Sunday."
Axsom recorded a third-place result to tie his career-best World of Outlaws outing.
"I hate it for my guys, to be in position and kinda give one away there," he said. "It's hard to out-Haud Haud. I feel our stuff is good for the next couple of nights. We just gotta tweak on it a little and I can do a better job in some places."
Garet Williamson placed fourth and Ryan Timms ended fifth.
Timms and Haudenschild topped their qualifying groups. The heat races were won by Logan Schuchart, Kaleb Johnson, Axsom and Williamson. Justin Henderson drove to the C Main triumph and Mark Dobmeier was the Last Chance Showdown winner.
Chaney led the distance of the Nordstrom's Automotive Late Model Street Stocks A Main, which was scheduled for 25 laps but added an extra one thanks to a caution on the final scheduled circuit, setting up a green-white-checkered restart.
"It feels pretty damn good," he said. "I've been fighting this car all year. On the start the shifter broke so I was stuck in high gear the whole time. I didn't need that last yellow. I was kinda nervous."
Six cautions, including one on the final scheduled lap, bunched the field together numerous times and kept Chaney out of traffic. He was efficient running the bottom groove lap after lap and produced a solid launch on the green-white-checkered restart to win by 0.449 seconds.
Garet Deboer was the runner up, garnering his best result at the track this season.
"It's been a great night," he said. "We're getting better every week with this car."
Cory Yeigh advanced from eighth to third, posting his sixth podium of the season at the dirt oval.
"Congrats to Mike and Garet," he said. "It was a heck of a race."
Zebell scored a fourth-place finish despite an ill-handling race car to garner the track title.
"It feels pretty damn awesome," he said. "It's been a long time coming. We broke halfway through there and I was just hanging on."
Matt Steuerwald rounded out the top five.
Yeigh set quick time during qualifying before Steuerwald, Zach Olivier and Chaney earned heat race wins.
The racing weekend continues at Huset's Speedway on Saturday when the World of Outlaws kicks off the BillionAuto.com Huset's High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS with a $15,000-to-win program during Ace Ready Mix Night. The main gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.
