Duke Erickson advanced from 10th to finish second and earn hard charger honors, while Greg Taylor climbed from 11th to third. Patterson held on for fourth, and R.J. Merchant completed the top five.

Serbus Scores Huset’s Speedway Sprint Car Victory

By Ben Deatherage BRANDON, S.D. (Aug. 2, 2026) — Trevor Serbus charged to the lead on lap three and never looked back, capturing Sunday night’s RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature at Huset’s Speedway. The Olivia, Minnesota driver took over the top spot from Dillon Bickett on the third circuit of the 20-lap contest and controlled the remainder of the race. A caution with roughly one-third of the race remaining erased his advantage, but Serbus executed a flawless restart and steadily rebuilt his lead over the closing laps. The victory was Serbus’ third of the season, with each of his wins coming at a different racetrack. Michalob Voeltz crossed the stripe second, while early leader Bickett completed the podium in third. Corbin Erickson finished fourth, and Braden Ockenga rounded out the top five. Serbus, Logan Moore, Bickett, and Gracyn Masur each won heat races, while Aydin Lloyd captured the B Main.
