Congratulations to Houseman Oil and Riverside Sinclair for winning Estherville businesses of the year!
The Houseman family along with these two businesses have been long supporters of the Jackson Speedway and just last year were one of the sponsors of the FREE Emmet County Night. These two businesses were started by Bunny Houseman back in the 40's and son's Bob and Rick now own and operate these two businesses.
Bunny Houseman was inducted into the Jackson Speedway Hall of Fame in 2003 and son Bobby also raced at Jackson Speedway, picking up Track Championships in 1980 and 1983. 1983 was quite a year for the Houseman Family as brother Denny picked up the Unlimited Sprint Championship giving the Houseman Family a "Clean Sweep" taking both track championships.
They are well deserving of this award and we would like to thank them for all they have done for racing in our area.

I will have to say Bob's cars were some of the most detailed cars as far as paint and lettering I have ever worked on. I still have scars on my hands form the burns off the chrome headers. Bob is probably still getting kick backs from "Mother's"!!! I have known the Houseman's for most of my life. Worked, raced, and lived with Bunny, Rick , Denny, and Bobby and they are all considered by me to be my extended family. If it wasn't for them, I would have never been involved in racing to the extent that I was. Without them, there would not have been a #9 and I am trully grrateful for everything they have done for me over the years. Congratulations to the Housemans for being awarded Estherville business of the year.
