Multiple cautions make for long night at Huset’s; Tulsa’s Rees Moran wins

It sometimes happens in motorsports, and it happened Sunday at Huset’s. 

Multiple cautions and delays can make for a late night. On Sunday, Huset’s officials were busy trying to get the program completed. And all things considered – like two red flags that included an extended period of time to repair catch fencing torn apart by a flipping car – it could have been a lot worse. In all, along with the two reds, there were also 12 yellow flags during the feature races alone.

But Huset’s officials were efficient in moving the program along, which eventually ended at 11:30 p.m., when Tulsa, Okla.’s Rees Moran took home the $10,057 prize for winning the coveted Bull Haulers Brawl 410 feature event.

The Bull Haulers Brawl is an annual event sponsored by Folkens Brothers Trucking, a Lester, Iowa livestock trucking company. Brothers John and Steve Folkens were both inducted into the Huset’s Hall of Fame in 2025 for their contributions to the sport.

Moran started on the outside of the front row and assumed the lead on lap seven when he passed pole sitter Mark Dobmeier on the front stretch.

Moran, who drives for former World of Outlaws driver Johnny Herrera, led the rest of the way, picking up his first career win at Huset’s and the big payday. Current points leader Ryan Timms, another Oklahoman, finished second after starting 13th.

“Words can’t even describe it. I’m pumped right now,” Moran said from Victory Lane. “I knew Ryan was good. I seen him up to second on the board, so I knew I really had to push it towards the end there. I just started getting wild through traffic just because I know he has so many wins here and he’s so good.”

Timms extended his championship lead over Christopher Thram to 14 points, but that, too, could have been a lot worse for Thram. The Sanborn, Minn., native didn’t qualify for the feature event, but used a points provisional to get him in the field, and the result could certainly come into play later in the season. He started last in 25th, and worked his way up to sixth, which kept Timms’ championship point lead to 14. If he hadn’t started the event and made his move to sixth, the championship lead for Timms would have grown dramatically.

Timely caution secures RaceSaver feature

win for Serbus

Trevor Serbus started third and assumed the lead on lap three to claim his third career victory at Huset’s. The Olivia, Minn., native also won a 410 feature last year.

The RaceSaver feature also offered a pair of cautions, which were timely for Serbus as he was able to avoid lapped traffic for much of the race.

“When I saw that gaggle, or whatever that was, for lapped traffic, I said, ‘I sure hope they aren’t too close because it’s going to be a hard time getting through all these guys. They were three-wide, slide jobs, spinning out, whatever was going on, I don’t know,” he said as the rest of the leaders closed in on his lead. “I’m just thankful for that caution.

Lee Goos, Jr., continues to lead the championship points in the RaceSaver division. Aydin Lloyd is two points behind and had a championship-type run on Sunday going from 17th to sixth.

Mike Chaney gives

Howe Racing another LMSS win

Ron Howe has a formidable Late Model Street Stock team at Huset’s. That’s been made evident as the four-car team has won the last two championships at Huset’s, and on Sunday, Sioux Falls’ Mike Chaney got his sixth career victory leading wire-to-wire for the Howe Racing Team.

The LMSS feature had seven yellow flags, and Chaney hit his marks on every restart.

“Especially when you know who’s right behind you,” Chaney said from Victory Lane when asked about the pressure of numerous restarts. “I missed my marks a couple of times. I was waiting for (second-place finisher) Tim (Dann) to get around me. It’s good to be back in Victory Lane. This car is too good not to be in Victory Lane.”

Dustin Gulbrandson holds a one-point lead in the championship over Craig Hanisch.
