2020 Mensink Racing Products USRA Hobby Stock National Champion Dustin Gulbrandson

USRA Director of Track Operations Bryce Hall, in conjuction with RacinDirt.com, recently spoke with 2020 Mensink Racing Products USRA Hobby Stock National Champion Dustin Gulbrandson to discuss this past year in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series and what lies ahead for the 30-year-old from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

In 2019, the division's trophy wound up somewhere other than Sioux Falls for the first time in six years when Eric Stanton snared the title, but it returned to its natural habitat in 2020 after Gulbrandson’s dominating campaign.

After Stanton snapped Gulbrandson’s string of five straight titles, Gulbrandson came back with a vengeance and laid down a wire-to-wire performance that netted him a USRA-best 26 victories in 2020. He started 51 races and won more than half of them while finishing in the top-five 46 times and all but once in the top-ten.

Ten of his wins took place at the Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and he was a winner nine times at the I-90 Speedway in Hartford, South Dakota. He cruised to the track championship at both venues. He also won three times at the Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, Iowa; twice at the Sports Park Raceway in Fort Dodge, Iowa; and once each at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota, and Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wisconsin.

For his efforts, Gulbrandson garnered $1,500 from the Mensink Racing Products USRA Hobby Stock national points fund and as much as $1,000 for his track championships and the PBM Performance Products Northern Region presented by MVT.
