Gulbrandson Grabs Eighth USRA Hobby Stock National
Championship
Dustin Gulbrandson of Sioux Falls, S.D., captured
the USRA Hobby Stock National Championship in 2024
and joined a mighty exclusive club with his eighth
title since 2014 during this year’s Summit USRA
Weekly Racing Series action.
Gulbrandson
racked up points and wins at the Deer Creek
Speedway, Fairmont Raceway, Hamilton County
Speedway, I-90 Speedway, Lucas Oil Speedway, Mason
City Motor Speedway, Mississippi Thunder Speedway
and Rapid Speedway.
The 34-year-old, who also
captured the 2020 Summit USRA Nationals, ended Dylan
Clinton’s two-ear run at the top of the class with
21 wins in 44 starts. He finished in the top five on
38 occasions and 40 times inside the top 10.
2009 national champ Chris Hovden of Cresco, Iowa,
gave Gulbrandson a run for his money but settled for
a runner-up paycheck at season’s end. Decorah,
Iowa’s Josh Ludeking was third.
