The Huset’s Hall of Fame Committee is pleased to announce the five new members into the Class of 2025. They include Dewey Dirkson, Doug DeWall, Craig Hanisch, Folken Brothers Trucking and Terry McCarl. These five individuals join 130 others to be enshrined into the Huset’s Hall of Fame in July.
Dirkson, who passed away March 17, 2010, was known for building extremely strong and fast racing engines and teamed up with Harold Petree (Hall of Fame Class of 1999) to win the 1963 Huset’s Speedway modified championship.
DeWall is a name synonymous with excellence at Huset’s as a car owner and engine builder and most recently teamed with Brooke Tatnell to win the 2022 and 2023 410 Outlaw Sprints championships. His father Marv was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002 and his brother Gary was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012.
Hanisch began his racing career in 1992 and won the Huset’s Speedway Hobby Stock championship in 2008 and 2009. His 15 wins in the LMSC ties him with Brad Wollman and Dale Furby for 13th on the all-time win list in the division.
John and Steve Folken and Folken Brothers Trucking has been one of the top dirt track racing supporters in the upper-Midwest. The Folken’s grew up at the track, watching their father race, then both strapped into a Late Model Street Stock for a time. Their support of racing dates back over 40 years and will once again be the title sponsor of “The Folken Brothers Bull Hauler’s Bash” on Friday, August 29th at Huset’s Speedway.
McCarl is the winningest driver in Huset’s history, recording 102 features and 8 Outlaw Sprint championships. From 1996 through 2003, McCarl recorded six of his eight championships, including four in a row from 98-01. He also garnered titles in 2012 and 2014.
The Huset’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place during The Border Battle on Sunday, July 13th at Huset’s Speedway. More details will be made available this summer.
