BRANDON, S.D. – Ryan Timms swept the Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association weekend, capping it off with a $10,000 bonus after winning at Huset’s Speedway on Sunday.
There hadn’t been a repeat winner at the track this season until Sunday’s event, which featured another neat moment as Timms garnered the $10,000 Buffalo Wild Wings Triple Crown Bonus for sweeping the three-race weekend.
“I really can’t believe we won that,” he said. “I really didn’t expect to win it from ninth. It was pretty cool to get the win on Father’s Day for my dad.”
Timms advanced into the top five within the first five laps. A move from fourth to second place on lap 11 brought Timms into striking distance of polesitter Ayrton Gennetten, who built his lead to more than three seconds before Timms closed quickly as Gennetten was stymied by traffic just after the midpoint of the 25-lap main event.
“When I got to second he was pretty far away,” Timms said. “Like a lap later he was right there. It was pretty treacherous and I about messed up a few times.”
Timms capitalized by pulling into the lead with a move on the bottom of turns three and four on lap 16. A caution came out moments later, setting up the final restart of the race. Timms held on throughout the final 10 laps to win by 1.970 seconds.
Gennetten finished with a season-best second-place showing at the track.
“Traffic was killer for me,” he said. “They were like two, three wide. I wish I could have got that trophy for my dad for Father’s Day.”
Austin McCarl recorded his third podium of the season at Huset’s Speedway with a third-place result.
“It’s going to be a big four days at the end of the week,” he said in reference to the upcoming four straight nights of World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series races at the track. “Hopefully we can be up here talking to you (announcer Austin Lloyd) later in the week.”
Points leader Justin Henderson was fourth and Kaleb Johnson placed fifth.
Brandon Bosma became the first repeat winner at Huset’s Speedway this season as he hustled from seventh to the lead within the first 11 laps of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Car Series feature.
In the Nordstrom’s Automotive Late Model Street Stock division, Zach Olivier maneuvered from ninth into the lead on lap 4 as he garnered his second victory of the season.
