Brad Seng won the first NLRA series race of the season last Saturday night at the Devils Lake Speedway near Crary, ND.

Mike Balcaen (10) and Shane Edginton (4) battle door-to-door at the Golden Hammer Classic last year. Mike Spieker photo. Before we start with the preview of our season opener this weekend, we hope you all have been well the past few months, and as all of us try to return to normal, our series will take the track on Saturday without seven of our own. As the Canadian border remains closed to non-essential travel, seven of our members will not be able to be with us, and as we are not just a series, but a family, this will weigh on us this weekend.
So, to Shane, Mike, Jesse, Ryan, Bill, Dave and Matt, your families and crews, fellow Canadian drivers that may have also made the trip, and to our Canadian fans... we miss you, and hope for a re-opening, sooner rather than later, to complete our season with you.
