Four-Race Labor Day Weekend Scheduled

Grand Forks, North Dakota (08/28/18) – Dustin Strand once again piloted his Q&Z Plumbing & Heating #71 RHR Brew/ Millenium Chassis Late Model to a feature win over the weekend.

His latest conquest came on Friday night at River Cities Speedway, where he won both his heat race and the feature. The triumph pushed his 2018-win tally to 15.

Dustin Strand returned to action on Thursday evening at Red River Co-op Speedway (Winnipeg, Manitoba), where he was competing in a WISSOTA Weekly Racing Series Event. Passing four cars in his 8-lap heat race, Strand reeled in a runner-up finish behind Mike Martin, which earned him the eighth-starting position for the opening night feature. Breaking into the Top-5, Dustin improved three spots to finish fifth behind Mike Balcaen, Shane Edginton, Bill Mooney, and Brody Troftgruben.

The following night at River Cities Speedway (Grand Forks, North Dakota), Dustin locked his spot into the main event with a heat race victory. After jumping out to an early lead, Strand held off Joey Pederson in the final laps to score his 15th win of the season. Pederson, Brad Seng, Shane Edginton, and Mike Balcaen completed the Top-5 finishers.

Saturday night brought 13 Northern Late Model Racing Association (NLRA) followers to Greenbush Race Park (Greenbush, Minnesota) to do battle for the $1,200 top prize. Following a fourth-place finish in his heat race, Dustin gained three positions in the 25-lap feature, notching a fifth-place finish behind Shane Edginton, Mike Balcaen, Bill Mooney, and Joey Pederson.

With his performance Dustin reclaimed the top spot in the NLRA point standings as he seeks his third tour championship. For more information from these events please visit www.NLRA.org , www.RiverCitiesSpeedway.com and www.RedRiverCoopSpeedway.com .
