HUSET’S SPEEDWAY USAC NATIONALS FORMAT & PURSE INFORMATION

Brandon, South Dakota (July 3, 2022)………Matt Wood Racing & Promotions is excited to release the updated format and purse for all three days of the second running of the Huset's Speedway USAC Nationals.

Nights one and two will be contested Friday, July 8th and Saturday, July 9th, with Championship night on Sunday, July 10th at the 1/3-mile dirt oval in Brandon, South Dakota.

Nights 1 and 2 will feature a unique format that begins with each driver drawing and placing themselves into a group to qualify and race followed by heat race inversions, last chance qualifiers and big inversions for the A-mains in both the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship and the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship divisions.

Championship night begins with heat races based on points accumulated from both nights of racing, placing competitions into heats to once again gain those valuable points, and ends with a 40-lap feature for the USAC National Sprint Cars and a 100-lap main event for the USAC National Midgets.

“Our format will still be similar to the one we run at the Hangtown 100 and has been used for years at California's premier event the Trophy Cup,” stated event promoter Matt Wood, “but we also considered feedback from last year's inaugural event and made some changes to better suit the Huset's Speedway USAC Nationals.”

Wood went on to comment, “Bringing the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets and USAC AMSOIL National Non-Wing 410 Sprint Cars back to Huset's for the first time in years for last year's event proved to produce incredible side-by-side, three and four-wide racing.  Anytime you go out on a limb and start a new event, there's going to be a learning curve and you have to be willing to make necessary changes as you go.  We're doing that and we are committed to making the second running of the USAC Nationals even more spectacular than the first.  We hope that the loyal Huset's fan following will come check out what USAC racing has to offer, meet some of the drivers and have a great time with your family at this premier track.  We promise you won't be disappointed in the show that the USAC drivers put on!”

Updates have also been made to the purse and payout structure for the second running of the event.  “We had to re-evaluate the way that we did some things the first time around to ensure that we can continue to build this event into one that we are able to keep on the USAC Midget and Sprint Car schedule for a long time,” Wood explained.  “I love midget and non-wing sprint car racing and I want to continue to contribute to building it up and keeping it healthy.  That starts with raising the purses and elevating the events that showcase this type of racing.”

Racing kicks off with preliminary nights on Friday, July 8th and Saturday, July 9th.  Just like last year, both prelim night’s purses include $5,000 to win in both divisions.

Sunday’s July 10 Championship Night features a full slate of racing with everything being based off points earned the previous two nights.  Championship night A-Mains will pay $12,000 to the winners, $4,800 to second, $3,600 to third.

Two champions -  one in the midget division and one in the sprint car division - will be crowned with each being rewarded with a $10,000 payday for their efforts.  The overall midget points champion will also take home a state-of-the-art WRl race-ready sim rig from our partner Chad Wheeler, Wheeler Metals, and WRl Sim Chassis.
