Dustin Strand Pulls the Hat Trick North of the Border

Grand Forks, North Dakota (10/04/16) –Dustin Strand visited Victory Lane on three occasions during the annual Prairie Classic at Red River Co-op Speedway. He picked up a single win in his RH Rebel Storage #71 Q&Z Plumbing & Heating/ Longhorn Late Model, while also piloting a brand-new Millenium B-Mod to a pair of victories.

“We had a really great weekend overall,” remarked Strand. “It was really exciting to win the two Midwest Mod features because those victories came in our newest designed, Millenium SRT Chassis that we just built for Scott Bintz. That thing was stout all weekend and it gives us a lot of excitement on what the future holds for that design.”

Competing in the two-day Prairie Classic, Dustin Strand headed to Red River Co-op Speedway (Winnipeg, Manitoba) on Friday night, where he piloted both Scott Bintz’ brand-new #1s Midwest Modified and his familiar #71 Late Model. In a field of 17 Late Models, Dustin moved up six spots in his heat landing a runner-up finish behind Ricky Weiss. Starting in the 8th position for the main event, Strand charged to his 22nd victory of the season over Brad Seng, Bill Mooney, Shane Edginton, and Steffen Snare.

During the same night in a field of 32 Midwest Modifieds, Strand stormed to a heat race win from the 6th-starting position. Rolling off 2nd for the A-Main, Dustin reeled in his second victory of the night, topping Jamie Davis, Grant Hall, Paul Veert, and Christopher Leek.

Returning on Saturday, Strand started the night with a heat race win in the Late Model division, which positioned him on the pole for the feature. Losing one position in the finale, Dustin landed a runner-up finish behind Ricky Weiss with Brad Seng, Mike Balcaen, and Rick Fawcett completing the Top 5.

Starting in the 6th spot in his Modified heat on Saturday evening, Dustin captured a heat race win, securing his spot into the main event. For the second-straight night Strand wired the Midwest Modified field to capture his third win of the weekend and 24th overall on the season with Jamie Davis, Grant Hall, Paul Veert, and Hunter Hougard trailing him across the finish line.
