This Friday night, the NLRA returns to the River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks for the third time of the 2019 season. The high-banked, quarter-mile Bullring will be hosting the series for the 40th time, second on the all-time list, as the track joins the Viking Speedway on the forty plus visits list, as the series has visited Alexandria 43 times.
| In the two previous visits to the Bullring thus far this season, Donny Schatz and Dustin Strand have been the victors. Schatz's win in the No. 15 Fastlane Car Wash Rocket came on June 7th, as the series shared the spotlight with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Three-time and defending series champion Dustin Strand was best in show during Sunday at the Fair on June 23rd. Strand lead all 25 laps in the No. 71 Generations Salon Millenium SRT for his first series victory of 2019. In weekly competition at the Speedway at the midway point of the 2019 season, Dustin Strand has the most wins, as he's currently batting .500. Strand has won four of the eight Late Model features contested this season. Along with Schatz and Strand, Joey Pederson, Cole Schill, and Brad Seng, have one triumph each this season at River Cities. Pederson parked the No. 7P Big Jim's Tire Victory in victory lane on opening night on May 17th. Schill and his No. 44 Rivinius Ranch MB Custom came out on top on May 31st, his first win at the Speedway since his first win at the Speedway, which came during a make-up feature that was completed on July 26, 2013. |  Shane Edginton is the current NLRA and River Cities point leader.

Brad Seng was the winner last Friday night in the No. 12S Anderson Brothers Body Shop MB Custom, as he chased down race long leader Ryan Kereluk and his No. 29K Edison Electric Services Victory, stealing the win on the final lap.
Pederson will be a very busy man on Friday night as he won't be the only Pederson in action. Pederson's daughter, and defending NLSA Lightning Sprint champion Kelsi Pederson, will run the No. 93 admonkeys.com Henchcraft, while his son Tucker Pederson will run the No. 27P Olson Underground Street Stock.
In the current standings at River Cities, it is Shane Edginton at the top of the heap, as he has guided the No. 4 Performance Auto Victory to a 17 point edge over Brad Seng. Dustin Strand is third, with Joey Pederson fourth, and Tom Corcoran rounding out the top five in the No. T1 Greg's Lawn Care MB Custom.
