2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series | Race Preview | Race 7: Huset’s Speedway

The seventh race of the 2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series season, powered by iRacing, takes to Huset’s Speedway on Monday night, once again in the 410 Sprint Cars.

This top-level eSports dirt racing series combines a schedule of 10 tracks with two dirt oval disciplines—the series utilizes both the 410 Sprint Car and the Super Late Model—and with an open qualifying series format to allow for anyone to take part in the championship, the new Pro Series has different look than what we’ve seen in past World of Outlaws eSports championships. Officially moving onto the 2025 side of the calendar, the newest track on iRacing, Huset’s Speedway, will host Sprint Cars at its 3/8-mile facility in the series’ return.

The driver roster is set each week through the Qualifying Series races that are open to all iRacing members with a Class A Dirt Oval license. These qualifying races will run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET, and the top-35 point scorers will be invited to the iRacing World of Outlaws Pro Series league each week for the Monday night main event. After the Monday show, the league is cleared out, and the process begins again. Points will be tracked as normal across those 10 main events to crown the series champion.

The main event will include a 35-lap feature for 21 cars that qualify in through qualifying, heat races, and last chance qualifiers. The action starts at 8:00 p.m. ET and it will be live on DIRTVision and across all of iRacing’s social media channels.

Last Race: 

Three weeks ago, the series took to the Sprint Car Capital of the World—Knoxville Raceway—for the sixth race of the 2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series season. Qualifying in seventh, Logan Rumsey inverted up to start second in the feature race. Adam Elby led the opening six laps, but Rumsey took control on the seventh and maintained the spot through a handful of cautions and restarts. The win makes Rumsey the only driver to have wins in both Sprint Cars and Late Models this season, and vaults him back to the top of the standings.

Last Season: 

Huset’s Speedway makes its debut in an official iRacing eSports competition less than a month after it was officially released on the iRacing platform. Last season, the seventh race of the year took to Fairbury, which moved to the eighth race of this season but in the Late Models instead.

Track Info:

Named after farmer and businessman Til Huset, Huset’s Speedway was built in 1953 and opened the next year. As with so many of America’s premier dirt ovals, the track was built out of former farmland—in this case, a soybean field—and has hosted many of the top national series in the country, including the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. After a brief stint as the Badlands Motor Speedway in the mid-2010s and subsequent closure, the track was rescued in the summer of 2020 by Tod Quiring, who returned top-level sprint car racing to the South Dakota circuit quickly thereafter.

Huset’s Speedway measures in as a high-banked, 3/8-mile bullring. It typically hosts both weekly and national level racing through Labor Day weekend. The Huset’s High Bank Nationals and Huset’s Hustle for sprint cars each offer six-figure payouts to their winners, while the Silver Dollar Nationals pay $75,000 to win for top late model racers. Adding to the track’s prestige, Quiring also prominently displays the Huset’s brand on his Big Game Motorsports 410 Sprint Car on the World of Outlaws national tour, where he and driver David Gravel have teamed up for dozens of checkered flags in recent seasons.

Race Format: 

These races feature qualifying and heat racing to determine the 21 drivers that will compete in the main race.

The top-eight qualifiers will immediately transfer to the feature. Pole winners score 25 points, second place scores 23 points, and points are paid out through the transfer spots to eighth, who will receive 17 points. When the feature begins, the top-eight will invert, with the pole sitter starting eighth and the eighth place qualifier starting on the pole.

For everyone else who does not qualify in, there will be three heat races of eight laps each, where the top-three finishers will advance forward through to the main event. Heat races also pay out points to all drivers, with the winner scoring 15 points and ninth place taking home seven points.

There will also be two 12-lap consolation races where the top two finishers in each will move on, but no additional points are scored.

Feature races will be 35 laps in the 410 Sprint Car, or 50 laps in the Super Late Model. The Feature winner will score 100 points, making the maximum amount of points on any given night 125 for a pole and Feature win.
