When C.J. Leary gets on a roll, he routinely displays his ability to ride that hot streak as long as he possibly can.

He showed that in droves during the inaugural Huset's Speedway USAC Nationals in 2021 as he turned the 1/3-mile dirt oval in Brandon, South Dakota, into his personal ATM, winning Saturday's preliminary and following it with a major score in the Sunday finale.

Leary (Greenfield, Indiana) became the third race leader on lap 19 amid the sixth lead change before the halfway point. He then rode off to a lucrative victory.

After becoming the event's first winner, the 2019 USAC National Sprint Car champion would like to become the first two-time final-night winner and the first repeat winner of the main event when the time arrives this weekend during the second annual USAC Nationals, which features three-straight nights of USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship racing at Huset's.

Competition will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday, alongside the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship.

The first two nights will feature 30-lap USAC Sprint Car main events for the USAC Sprint Cars, paying $5,000-to-win. Meanwhile, Sunday night's 40-lap finale will pay $12,000 to the winner. Throughout the weekend, points will be accumulated, and the top point gainer for all three events (combined) will earn a $10,000 prize.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday night's events will award 50 appearance points only to all USAC nationally licensed drivers and entrants. No qualifying, heat race, preliminary or feature points will be issued.

On hand for the event will be many of the finest performers with USAC at Huset's, including current USAC National Sprint Car point leader and the series' most recent winner, Justin Grant (Ione, California), who finished third and second on each night in 2016. Last year, he was seventh on the first night and sixth on the second.

Thomas Meseraull (San Jose, California) captured a USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship feature win on opening night at Huset's in 2021. His sprint car performances have been up to snuff as well, finishing as the runner-up on Night 1 a year ago, followed by a pair of ninth-place performances, and he was fourth in 2016. Meseraull will be wheeling a sprint car for Yeley-Petty Racing.

Four-time USAC National Sprint Car champion Brady Bacon (Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) notched three consecutive top-six finishes at Huset's in 2021, highlighted by a runner-up result on the final evening. He also was buoyed by a third-place finish in the opener and a sixth on the second night.

Robert Ballou (Rocklin, California) collected his best result of the bunch with a fourth-place effort on the first night of 2021. The 2015 USAC National Sprint Car titlist was the hard charger in his Huset's debut during the 2016 campaign, racing from his 18th starting position to finish eighth. A night later, he was 10th.

Logan Seavey (Sutter, California) owns the one-lap USAC Sprint Car track record at Huset's, with the 2018 USAC National Midget champ punctuating his trip around the high-banked dirt oval in a time of 12.576 seconds. He finished a best of eighth on each of the first two nights.

Jake Swanson (Anaheim, California) was a primetime performer in his first visit to Huset's in 2021. The 2017 USAC West Coast Sprint Car champ etched results of sixth on Night 1 and upped it to fourth on Night 2.

Brandon Mattox (Terre Haute, Indiana), USAC's 2020 National Most Improved Driver, bagged a quality 10th-place result on Night 2 of Huset's in 2021. During the event, he set the mark to beat with a USAC Sprint Car eight-lap track record time of 2:00.15.

Ryan Bernal (Hollister, California), likewise, is a Huset's USAC Sprint Car track record holder himself, ripping around the joint during a 10-lap heat race in a time of 2:09.61. The USAC West Coast Sprint Car division's all-time winningest driver, as well as the 2013-14 USAC Western Classic Sprint Car champ, finished 10th on the third and final night of the 2021 event.

Looking to bump into the top 10 for the first time in their return visits to Huset's after appearances in 2021 are NAMARS Midget champ, BOSS Sprint king and Eldora Speedway late model titlist Matt Westfall (Pleasant Hill, Ohio), who was14th on the third night of racing 2021. 

Alex Schriever (Hartford, South Dakota) made his last USAC showing at Huset's in 2016 with a 14th-place result. Chad Frewaldt (Kansas City, Kansas) was 18th on Night 2 in 2021 and was trailed by Upper Midwest Sprintcar Series champ Cam Schafer (Little Canada, Minnesota) in 19th and USAC National Sprint Car Rookie Alex Banales (Lafayette, Indiana) in 20th.

First-time Huset's USAC Sprint Car competitors include two-time 2022 USAC National Sprint Car feature winner and leading rookie-of-the-year candidate Emerson Axsom (Franklin, Indiana), a 10th-place finisher in a midget at Huset's in 2021, and 2020 USAC National Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Jadon Rogers (Worthington, Indiana). Axsom resides fifth in USAC Sprint points entering the weekend, while Rogers stands 10th.

Additional first-time entries come from USAC Sprint Car Rookie and Huset's midget track record holder Mitchel Moles (Raisin City, California), past POWRi Midget champion Zach Daum (Pocahontas, Illinois), 2020 USAC Midwest Wingless Racing Association Sprint Car champion and current point leader Wyatt Burks (Topeka, Kansas), recent Angell Park eighth-place finisher Braydon Cromwell (Lone Jack, Missouri), 2019 USAC CRA Sprint Car Rookie of the Year Eddie Tafoya Jr. (Chino Hills, California), one-time USAC Midwest Wingless winner Xavier Doney (Odessa, Missouri), Eric Schulz (Sioux Falls) and more.
