For the second year the series will head south to Brown County Speedway to be part of one of the area's crown jewel events with the annual running of "The Rumble." These are scheduled to be just the fourth and fifth visits for the series to the third-mile oval in Northeast South Dakota in as many visits to the Rushmore State since 2004 when Kent Arment defended home turf against the NLRA.
Tyler Peterson led the final 32 laps en route to the $5,000 payday, winning the sixth annual Walhalla Building Center Golden Hammer Classic at Devils Lake Speedway near Doyon, ND on Saturday night. Peterson's win is his third series win of the year as he now sits one win shy of becoming the 13th member of the 10-win club after scoring his 9th career series.

Dave Mass sent the home crowd happy Friday night as he beat the travelers of the Northern Late Model Racing Association, winning his third career feature with the series last Friday night at I-94 emr Speedway in Fergus Falls, MN. Mass, who won the series return to the Speedway back in 2021, got redemption as he had mechanical issues steal a possible King of the Dirt title while leading at the three-eighths mile oval three-weeks ago.
Dustin Strand won his 31st career NLRA feature Friday night at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks. Strand's second win with the series this season happened in the final few feet of the main event as he stole the victory from Shane Edginton as the pair came to the checkered flag.
Tyler Peterson collected his seventh and eighth NLRA series wins last weekend, sweeping the pair of series races run at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks on Friday night and I-94 emr Speedway in Fergus Falls on Saturday.

The NLRA returns to action this weekend for two nights of action at Dead Horse Creek Speedway in Morden, MB, Canada as the series will make its debut at the track and return to Canada for the first time in nearly six years to take part in the inaugural McNaught Cup.
Dead Horse Creek Speedway, formerly ALH Motor Speedway, in Morden, MB reopened last season with a brand-new racing surface and hosted two race weekends which included Late Models on night two of the Watermelon Cup last July. Dustin Strand became the second driver in series history to eclipse the 30 win mark with his opening night victory at Devils Lake Speedway last Saturday night.
Brody Troftgruben and Steve Anderson brought the field to green at the start. Dustin Strand rode the cushion in the No. 71 Walhalla Builders Longhorn through turns one and two to move into the third spot and made it a three-car battle for the lead on lap number two. |
