Dustin Strand Doubles Up in Victory Lane

Grand Forks, North Dakota (06/06/17) – Another weekend and another double trip to Victory Lane for Dustin Strand.

For the second-straight week he took both his RealTruck.com #71 Keewatin Truck Service/ Millenium SRT Modified and his RH Rebel Storage #71 McCaughen Builders/ Millenium SRT Late Model to the winner’s circle.

Competing in his Super Late Model and Open Wheel Modified, Dustin Strand opened his weekend by returning to Red River Co-op Speedway (Winnipeg, Manitoba) on Thursday for a Weekly Racing Series Event. Gaining three spots in his Late Model heat, Strand landed a 4th-place finish, locking him into the 6th-starting position for the A-Main. Breaking into a podium spot, Dustin gained four positions to place 2nd behind Rick Fawcett with Mike Balcaen, Billy Mooney, and Kevin Sexton completing the Top 5 finishers.

In the Modified division, Strand secured his spot into the A-Main with an 8-lap heat race win. Starting in 8th for the finale, Dustin improved six positions, reeling in a runner-up finish behind Ward Imrie with Scott Greer, Ian Rousseau, and Ryan Kereluk rounding out the Top 5.

On Friday night Strand was piloting his #71 Super Late Model at River Cities Speedway (Grand Forks, North Dakota) in a field of 18 cars. Cruising to an 8-lap heat race win from the pole position, Dustin locked into the 4th-starting spot for the feature. Wheeling his way to the front, Dustin Strand topped the field in the 20-lapper to pick up his fourth win of the season. Mike Balcaen, Brad Seng, Joey Pederson, and Billy Mooney trailed him to the checkers.

Closing out the weekend, Strand stopped at Greenbush Race Park (Greenbush, Minnesota) on Saturday behind the wheel of his Open Wheel Modified. Improving five positions in his heat race, Dustin started the night off with a heat race win locking him into 9th-starting spot for the feature. With 15-laps to make his way to the front, Dustin Strand charged through the field to capture his second win of the weekend and fifth overall on the season. Dustin Wahl, Mark Esala, Aaron Holtan, and Rick Delaine completed the Top 5 finishers.

“We backed up last week’s wins with two more this week, which shows that our team is really consistent right now,” Strand said. “As good as our outings were, I feel like we were real close to grabbing a couple of more wins, so we’ll keep digging to try and find just a little more speed. Thanks goes out to all of my team, sponsors, and supporters.”
