On Saturday night, the series returns to Greenbush Race Park in Greenbush for the 40th time overall, and third time this season. Greenbush becomes the third track to host the series 40-times following the River Cities and Viking Speedways.
Shane Edginton won the May visit to the track, while Mike Greseth won the June race. Brad Seng leads all regulars with five previous Greenbush victories, while Edginton, who has won a race at the track that measures just over one-quarter mile, has vaulted to second with four scores at the track.
Mike Greseth leads the current standings by 12 markers over Dustin Strand, and by 20 over Brad Seng. Brody Troftgruben is fourth in the No. 14 Gateway Auto Tech Rocket, with Shane Edginton rounding out the top five.
Tyler Peterson is sixth in points, with John Seng seventh, who enters the weekend as the most recent series winner. Seng won his first career NLRA feature at Devils Lake last Saturday night in the No. 21S Charlie's Public House MB Custom.
