Dustin Strand Collects Two More 2018 Victories
Four-Race Weekend Up Next

Grand Forks, North Dakota (08/14/18) – For the second-straight week Dustin Strand scored a pair of feature triumphs in his Q&Z Plumbing & Heating #71 Naastad Acres/ Millenium Chassis Late Model.

The wins pushed his 2018 total to lucky #13.

“We decided last minute to go to Red River Co-op Speedway on Thursday, and it paid off with a sweep,” Strand commented. “Friday at River Cities was a so-so night, and then we were back on our game on Saturday night at Devil’s Lake Speedway. Our car is performing really well right now, and I’m looking forward to taking a shot at four wins this coming weekend.”

On Thursday night Dustin Strand traveled to Red River Co-op Speedway (Winnipeg, Manitoba), where he was competing in a field of 11 Super Late Models. After starting the night with a heat race victory, Dustin outran a hard-charging Mike Balcaen to capture his 12th win of the season over Balcaen, Shane Edginton, Shane Holden, and Rick Fawcett.

The following night at River Cities Speedway (Grand Forks, North Dakota), Strand advanced two spots in his 8-lap heat race to finish fifth. Starting the feature in the 10th position, Dustin passed six cars in the 20-lapper to notch a fourth-place finish behind Brad Seng, Ryan Corbett, and Joey Pederson with Jeff Hapala finishing fifth.

Saturday evening found Strand visiting Devil’s Lake Speedway (Lakota, North Dakota) to do battle in a Weekly Racing Series Event. Holding his spot in his 10-lap heat, Dustin recorded a runner-up finish behind Mike Balcaen, which locking him into the fifth-starting position for the feature. Slipping past race-leader Mike Balcaen early, Dustin Strand cruised to his 13th win of the season, topping Balcaen, Brody Troftgruben, Travis Robertson, and Troy Schill at the line.
