Dustin Larson

He’s already got 10 feature wins, a pair of checkers in the Bruns Memorial Series and the Powder Werks North Star Series title to his credit this season, but you can’t blame Dustin Larson for wanting more.

Larson made the Saturday night show in the Hobby Stocks in 2010 and the Stock Cars in 2011, starting on the front row both times.

“There are so many good cars here I’m just hoping to make the show,” said Larson, admitting to some Wednesday afternoon butterflies. “Of course I’d like to win it. What would be really special is if all three of us (his father Jim and brother Jeffrey also race Stock Cars) can get in the main event.”

The Larsons share shop space outside Rushmore, Minn. After winning the season-opening special at Algona Raceway, Dustin was a regular at Fairmont and visited other tracks around his home state.
