Simpson, Folstad, Beaulieu and Holtquist hoist hardware at Hibbing’s Hot Dish Nationals

HIBBING, MN (October 17) - Hibbing Speedway hosted its final WISSOTA Dirt Track Series action of the season Saturday, October 17, with its annual Hot Dish Nationals.

Winners in sanctioned action included Rick Simpson, McKenna Folstad, Josh Beaulieu and Dustin Holtquist.

Simpson started from the pole in the WISSOTA Super Stocks and remained in control from flag to flag. He was chased to the stripe by Dalton Carlson, Dan Severson, Kevin Salin and Larry Both in the top five.

Beaulieu made good use of his front-row starting spot as well, as he started in second in the WISSOTA Midwest Mods and overcame polesitter Paul Ripley for the eventual victory. Twelfth-starter Brant Gruba charged to third at the finish, while Sam Blevins was fourth. Justin Olson completed the top five.

McKenna Folstad started sixth on the grid in the WISSOTA Hornet feature, surviving a feature that was a rough one for most of the rest of the field. She garnered the victory ahead of Zeb Graves. Avery Ramsrud started 12th and finished third, while Edwin Christianson started 10th and finished fourth. Only four Hornets finished the feature.

Dustin Holtquist remained the class of the WISSOTA Mod Four division for the 2026 season, as he added one more feature win to his overall total Saturday in Hibbing. Ashton Schwinn advanced four spots to second, Chad Erlandson was third, Conrad Schwinn was fourth and Dean Larson rounded out the top five.

Devin Reynolds won the Crown Vic feature, while Nick McCann came out on top of the Mini Stock A-main.
