  • The Fast and the Curious: Best-Ever Moments in Huset's Speedway History Tom Savage for the Argus Leader
    The Fast and the Curious: Best-ever moments in Huset's Speedway history Tom Savage For the Argus Leader Huset’s Speedway was built in 1954 by farmer and Brandon business owner Til Huset, who turned his soybean field just south of Brandon into a racey 3/8-mile dirt oval race track. He hosted racing at the venue in 1954 and 1955 before shutting everything down for the 1956 and 1957 seasons. After the track sat empty for two years, it had a resurgence in 1958. Races ran continuously from July of 1958 until its closing in May of 2017. There have been many memorable moments at the dirt track over the last 64 years with four different owners, thousands of participants and tens of thousands of fans. With the track’s future in doubt, the time seems right to embrace its past by highlighting the top 10 moments in Huset's Speedway history. 10. Opening Day After Huset completed carving out the ⅜-mile high-banked oval track in the spring of 1954, he hosted his first race on May 23 of the same year. The facility was nothing like it is today, and the races were run during the day because there was no lighting system. There were also no grandstands, no concessions stands, no public address system, no restrooms, no crash walls, no fences. It was simply a dirt oval, in the middle of a field, and fans sat on blankets on the hill where the current permanent grandstands and suites are located. Twenty-eight cars were in attendance on that first Sunday afternoon, with Paul Stogsdill of Wagner winning the first feature event in the track’s history.
