Inside Line Promotions – BRANDON, S.D. (June 17, 2024) – Tim Estenson climbed to third in the Huset’s Speedway championship standings following another top-10 outing at the track on Sunday.

Estenson’s ninth-place result marked his fourth top 10 of the season at the high-banked oval, which is tied for the second most through a half-dozen races. It was also his third top 10 in the last four races at the track.

“We were extremely happy with the results,” he said. “It’d have been nice to get a little farther, but qualifying is so crucial and we got knocked back a bit there.”

Estenson qualified 13th quickest out of the 30 competitors to open the racing program.

“I was hoping to draw a little better and pulled the No. 53,” he said. “I felt decent in qualifying, but we needed to be a little better at the beginning of the night. We’ve been running well in the heat races at Huset’s this year and we won our heat race. I went into the feature open-minded.”

Estenson maneuvered from 12th to ninth in the main event.

“We’ve been battling a little tightness with the car and we’ve been trying to figure that out,” he said. “I think Jack (Dover) has found more this week that will help us going into High Bank Nationals. Overall, we’re happy with finishing consistently in the top 10.”

Next up for the team is arguably the biggest week of the season with the $100,000-to-win Huset’s Hustle on Wednesday and Thursday and the $250,000-to-win BillionAuto.com Huset’s High Bank Nationals presented by MENARDS on Friday and Saturday at Huset’s Speedway. All four nights are with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.

“The Huset’s weekly program is super tough,” Estenson said. “When you add 50 other top guys in the country it makes it a lot harder. I know we have what it takes to run with them. You have to treat it like any other race and stay calm, keep your nerves down, focus and try to make the most out of every lap on the track.”

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT – Yamalube

In the mid-1960s Mr. Leo Lake, National Service Manager for then Yamaha International Corporation realized the sportcycle market needed a high quality oil that enhanced reliability, durability and dependability because "off-the-shelf" automotive oils simply didn't live up to Yamaha's standards.

After some service issues in the early ‘60s, Leo pursued the lubrication side of the problem for the next two years, convinced it had to do with lubrication and not the engine itself. After having tested hundreds of combinations Leo developed a blend that in 1967 became the iconic YAMALUBE brand and to this day we still embrace his uncompromising commitment to quality and performance.

Simply put, Yamalube is the only oil "built around" the unique demands, operating characteristics, and applications of not only Yamaha engines, but all Powersport engines. For more information, visit http://www.yamaha-motor.com.

“Yamalube makes top-of-the-line lubricants and cleaning products that help our race car operate well and look nice,” Estenson said.

Estenson would like to thank Estenson Racing, Truline Logistics, Yamalube, Arai Helmets, JDP Electric, JDP Automation and Backlund Plumbing for their continued support.
