**Kenny Hoffman Powers Through to Take Season Opener at Huset's** Cameron King3 looked like he had this one locked down, leading 22 laps and controlling the feature from up front. But Kenny Hoffman had other ideas. Hoffman made his move when it counted most, took over the lead, and never looked back to grab the checkered in Round 1 at Huset's. King3 had earned his spot at the front — he won his heat race and was the dominant force early. But the feature is where championships are won, and Hoffman's late-race execution proved the difference. Blake M Andrews rounded out the podium battle, finishing second and holding his own after winning the consolation earlier. The story of the day went beyond the leaders, though. Bruce Clingan put on a show out of the eleventh starting spot, clawing his way up four positions to finish seventh. That kind of charge is a statement in a field this talented. King3, Hoffman, and Andrews split the heat victories, setting up what should be a competitive season ahead. Hoffman just delivered the opening statement.
