Redetzke finished fourth in his B Main, and charged from the 26th starting spot to finish in the eighth spot. Dustin Strand won his first NLRA championship on Thursday night with a 12th place finish during the 'Night before the Johnny at the River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks.

He failed to earn a transfer spot in the heat race, and had to come through one of the two B Main events. He easily won his B Main, but once again had to avoid a big crash in the main event. Four cars crashed on the front-stretch on lap 10, but he was able to come through that unscathed. Congratulations Dustin!

Brad Seng put a strong bid for the lead late, but fell short to Doar by .134 of a second.
