Brandon, SD—July 2, 2007--By: Tony Veneziano, WoO Sprint Series PR Director
 
The World of Outlaws will head to Huset's Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota on Tuesday, July 3, as the series wraps up a swing through the upper Midwest. This will mark the 31st A-Feature event contested by the series at the track dating back to 1983. A total of 11 drivers have won with the series at the track, including four current drivers.
 
Three drivers currently competing with the World of Outlaws are former track champions at the always racy high-banked 3/8-mile, which has long been regarded as one of the most competitive tracks in the country.
 
Terry McCarl leads this list, as he holds a number of records at the track. He is the winningest driver at the track with 77 career feature wins, along with six track championships. He also set the track record in time trials in 2002, which still stands today at 10.528 seconds. He won his first World of Outlaws event at the track last July after returning from a severely broken left leg. The native of Altoona, Iowa has one win on the season, as he earned his first career triumph with the series at Knoxville Raceway on June 16, where he is also a six-time champion.
 
Danny Lasoski is second on the all-time win list at Huset's with 38 victories. He has three career track championships at the facility just outside of Sioux Falls. He finished sixth last May at the track with the series. The native of Dover, Missouri is currently putting together one of the most consistent seasons of any driver on the World of Outlaws trail, with 29 Top-10 finishes, including three A-Feature wins. Entering the event on Tuesday, July3, the 2001 World of Outlaws champion is third in points.
 
Justin Henderson, a native of Sioux Falls, has two career track championships at Huset's Speedway, one in a 360-sprint car and the other in a 410-sprint car. He has five career wins at his home track, and his crew chief/father Rod Henderson also has won at the high-banked oval. Henderson is fresh off a career-best third-place finish on Sunday night at Cedar Lake Speedway. He led the first 19 laps of the event en route to earning his second Top-Five finish of the season.
 
Donny Schatz leads the championship standings heading into the event at Huset's, where he won in 2001. The reigning series champion has eight A-Feature wins this season, including one on a 3/8-mile track. The native of Fargo, North Dakota has finished in the Top-10 in 35 of the 39 events contested so far this season.
 
Joey Saldana earned two Top-Five finishes at Huset's last season, as he fourth in May and the runner-up in July. He enters the event on Tuesday, July 3 second in points, just 90 markers behind Schatz as he continues to battle for his first series title. The 1996 Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year has eight A-Feature wins on the season, including in his first visit to River Cities Speedway in North Dakota last Friday.
