Two of the final three events of the 2021 NLRA season are set to take place this weekend at the River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks on Friday night, and at the Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo on Saturday night.

 Mike Greseth took the lead from Ryan Corbett on lap ten, and went on to win his fifth NLRA feature of the year on Sunday night at the Sheyenne Speedway in Lisbon, ND. Greseth's win, in just his fourth month behind the wheel of a Late Model, is now tied with Tom Corcoran and Joel Cryderman on the series all-time wins list. Enderlin native Kevin Robertson finished second, with Corbett third, Bryce Sward fourth, and Dustin Strand rounding out the top five. Greseth's win also helped him cut into Shane Edginton's point lead, as the gap will be 26 heading into Friday's event at the River Cities Speedway, as the series will co-headline with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series for the second time this season.
