The NLRA is set to invade the Viking Speedway in Alexandria, MN, for one of the staples on the series schedule, the Labor Day Double Header. The Viking Speedway is the biggest and fastest track, the only remaining half mile on the tour. The track sits on the Douglas County Fairgrounds, and will host the series for the 40th and 41st time, the record holder for any track the series has visited
Going into the 2015 Double, you couldn't think NLRA at Alex without thinking, Zach Johnson and Jeff Wildung. That fact is still true, however, the names Don Shaw, driver of the No. 42S Blaine Brothers Victory and Brad Seng, driver of the No. 12S S&S Transport MB Custom, have replaced the prior duo as the dominant forces of the event, the pair having won the past five NLRA shows at the track, including all four on Labor Day. 

Point leader Ricky Weiss, driver of the No. 7 Derrick's Sandblasting Bloomquist, and Dave Mass are the only drivers other than Johnson, Wildung, Shaw, and Seng to win at the half-mile on Labor Day.

Shaw leads all drivers in weekly competition at Viking with seven wins in 14 nights. Zach Johnson has three wins, John Kaanta has two. Shawn Meyer and NLRA regular Cole Schill, driver of the No. 44 Rivinius Ranch MasterSbilt by JMR, have one each.

Zach Johnson has already clinched the track points title, as Rick Nelson sits second, with Shaw third, and Greg and Casey Meyer rounding out the top five.

With three races remaining, Ricky Weiss will carry a 68 point lead over Brad Seng. Shane Edginton, driver of the No. 4 Performance Auto Victory, is third, with Bill Mooney, driver of the No. 2 Winnipeg Hearing Centres MasterSbilt by JMR in fourth, and two-time champion Dustin Strand, driver of the No. 71 Q&Z Plumbing & Heating Millenium, rounding out top five.

Mike Balcaen, driver of the No. 10 Enns Brothers Black Diamond, is sixth, with Steve Anderson, driver of the No. 9 Schmidt, Inc. MB Custom, seventh, and Tom Corcoran, driver of the No. T1 Forks Finest Auto Body MB Custom, eighth. 

Travis Robertson, driver of the No. 1R Tires Plus MasterSbilt in ninth, and Donny Schatz, driver of the No. 15 Fargo Petro Rocket, currently rounds out the top ten.
​
Racing is scheduled to begin at six both nights. For more info on the Viking Speedway, visit our Tracks page.
