Ricky Weiss won his first NLRA series feature of the season Saturday night at the Devils Lake Speedway near Doyon, ND. The win is Weiss' 19th career series victory, and his first with the series in nearly two years. Weiss took the lead from early leader Dave Smith, then held off a hard charging Dustin Strand at the line for the victory. That finish set up an impromptu rematch of the pairs close finish in August of 2015 in Devils Lake, when Weiss lead the whole race with the exception of the final 30 feet when Strand stole the win at the line. Cole Schill, Bill Mooney and Minot's Robert Hellebust rounded out the top five. Weiss and Strand, who have won five of the last seven Wissota national championships, are now tied atop the NLRA point standings.

The 2017 season will begin on June 16th, as the series will co-headline events at the River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Both series will make the 80 mile trip south to race together again at the Red River Valley Speedway in Fargo the following night. |
