Another four-day weekend is on tap for the NLRA this weekend, featuring the $5,000-to-win, 4th annual Walhalla Builders Golden Hammer Classic at the Devils Lake Speedway, near Crary, North Dakota.
| The weekend starts Thursday night, June the 23rd, at the Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minnesota with the Ada Nationals. This is the first of two scheduled events at the three-eighths mile Norman County oval. This will be the 24th scheduled visit by the series To Norman County. Brad Seng and Dustin Strand are the winningest drivers at Norman County in NLRA competition with three wins each, but arguably, the most anticipated driver this weekend will be the inaugural winner at Norman County in 1998, Mitch Johnson, who is expected to bring the historic No. 00 Northwest Auto Body Swartz back to series action in Ada, following it’s return to the speedway last week. On Friday night, the series returns to the Sure Step I-94 Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The series has raced once this season in Fergus Falls, with Jeffrey Massingill winning the Dick Johanneck Memorial King of the Dirt at the three-eights mile Otter Tail county oval on June 4th. Shawn Meyer has taken the point lead in weekly competition at I-94, and will head into Friday night's races with the four-point lead over Dave Mass, and a 29 point lead over NLRA point leader Cole Schill. |  Cole Schill is the current series points leader.
