This Saturday night, the NLRA heads north to the Greenbush Race Park in Greenbush, MN, for the first time this season after a rain claimed the first visit on June 22nd. The event is scheduled to be the 29th visit by the series to the high-banked, quarter-mile Roseau County oval.
| Shane Edginton is the most recent winner at Greenbush, as he parked the No. 4 Schill Construction Victory in victory lane last August. Edginton caught Mike Balcaen and his No. 10 Mission Transport Black Diamond late in the race to score his first series win in two years, while also picking up the Performance Auto hard charger award. Balcaen was the Greenbush winner during the series visit last July, his first at the Speedway in ten years. Balcaen was also last Saturday night's winner at the Jamestown Speedway, his 26th with the series, tying the late great John Seitz for second on the all-time wins list. Dustin Strand was the first winner of the 2018 season in Greenbush, as he lead all but the opening lap in the No. 71 Naastad Acres Millenium SRT, to seal his first Greenbush Late Model victory last June. Brad Seng, driver of the No. 12S Bergstrom Electric MB Custom leads all active drivers with four wins at Greenbush. Mike Balcaen has three, while Tom Corcoran, driver of the No. T1 Forks Finest Auto Body & Car Wash MB Custom, has two Greenbush wins, incuding the series debut at the Speedway in 1998. |  Defending NLRA champ Dustin Strand is eight points back in second in the standings.

Joining Strand and Edginton as active series drivers with a single Greenbush triumph, are Joey Pederson, Cole Schill, driver of the No. 44 JW Repair MB Custom, and Troy Schill, driver of the No. 11 Todd's Electric Black Diamond.
For the second night in a row, Pederson, who was the 2011 Greenbush NLRA winner, will compete in his No. 7P Dahlstrom Motors Victory, but he will be extra busy, as he won't be the only Pederson in action on Saturday.
Pederson's daughter, and defending NLSA Lightning Sprint champion Kelsi Pederson, will run the No. 93 First Community Credit Union Henchcraft, while his son Tucker Pederson will run the No. 27P Shawn Horn Crary Realtor Street Stock.
