Two weeks ago, Shane Edginton, driver of the No, 4 Performance Auto Victory, scored the season opening victory, worth two thousand dollars, as Walhalla Builders presented the Golden Hammer Classic. Edginton, who started fifth, used a late race restart to pass race long leader Dustin Strand and his No. 71 Keewatin Truck Service Millenium SRT, to put away his fourth career series victory. Edginton heads into Saturday as one of the fastest drivers on tour, having collected three victories overall to start the season, with two Red River Co-Op Speedway wins to go along with his Devils Lake triumph. Cole Schill finished on the final spot on the podium two weeks ago, his second straight in the No. 44 Mid Ag Dispatch MB Custom. Schill finished in the same spot at the speedway's weekly opener on May 25th after a spirited battle with eventual winner Chad Becker. Brad Seng improved one spot from the May 25th race, finishing fourth at the NLRA show a fortnight ago.
