The NLRA is scheduled to race twice this weekend, first on Friday night at the River Cities Speedway, then on Saturday night at the Greenbush Race Park in Greenbush, MN. On Friday night, June the 19th, the NLRA makes its' 23rd appearance at the River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, ND, where the series will once again race alongside the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Mike Balcaen, driver of the No. 10 Northstar Canada Black Diamond, broke a long winless streak at River Cities last June, the 21st win of his NLRA career.

Balcaen was followed across the line by Ricky Weiss, driver of the No. 7 Derrick's Sandblasting Bloomquist, Pat Doar, in the No. 11 Speedwerx Capital, Brad Seng, wheeling the No. 12S S&S Transport MB Custom, and Steve Anderson, driving the No. 9 Hi-Per-Flex Panel Systems Pierce. The now six-time and defending World of Outlaw Sprint Car Series champion Donny Schatz, driver of the No. 15 K3 Farms Rocket, who had just won the Sprint Car feature, jumped in his late model, and was the hard charger improving from 23rd to finish tenth.


Brad Seng collected his 26th series victory at the speedway last August, while Donny Schatz won the next night, winning on August 16th for the second consecutive year. Ricky Weiss won the fourth and final NLRA series round in Grand Forks, winning the fourth annual 'Prelude to the Johnny', on his way to his third Wissota national title. Seng is a two-time winner at River Cities this season, and is the point leader at River Cities through five nights of racing this year. Seng will carry a four point advantage over last Fridays' winner Dustin Strand, driver of the Q&Z Plumbing & Heating No. 71, in the tracks' weekly points battle. 

Joey Pederson, driver of the No. 7P Dahlstrom Motors MB Custom is third and has one win, with Steffen Snare, driver of the No. 71 High Mark Snowmobile Rentals Bloomquist and Zach Naastad, driver of the Q&Z Plumbing & Heating No. Z17 rounding out the top five. Steve Anderson is sixth, Mike Balcaen is seventh, rookie Robert Bladow, driver of the No. 00 Primitive Place K&K Racing GRT is eighth, Jeff Hapala, driver of the No. 16S Auto Solutions Rocket is ninth, and John Buchner, driver of the No. 5 Slap Shot Pizza/Fat Albert's Subs MB Custom is tenth. Hot laps are set for 6:30pm with Sprint Car time trials at seven, with racing to follow.

On Saturday night June the 20th, the NLRA will try to make its' return to the Greenbush Race Park in Greenbush, MN. The series tried twice last season to race in Greenbush for the first time since 2011, but the original date on June 14th, and the rescheduled event on July 12th were both lost to rain just prior to hot laps on each occasion. The event is scheduled to be the 20th visit by the NLRA to the tight three-eighths mile oval, which was unfortunately closed down for the entire 2012 season. 

Joey Pederson won the last visit to Greenbush in 2011, and was followed to the line by Mike Balcaen in second, Ricky Weiss third, last Thursday nights' winner at the Red River Co-Op Speedway, Bill Mooney, driver of the No. 2 OMG Candy MasterSbuilt by JMR was fourth, and Greg Ferris fifth. Mooney was the hard charger moving up to fourth from the 12th starting spot. Mike Balcaen won the late model track championship at Greenbush during the tracks' opening season in 1991, and has added three NLRA series wins to his resume since then. Tom Corcoran has two wins, while Joey Pederson, Ricky Weiss, Troy Schill, and Brad Seng have one win each. Racing begins at seven on Saturday night.
