This Thursday night, August the 15th, the series returns to the Norman County Raceway in Ada, MN, for the first time in two years. The race is scheduled to be the twentieth visit by the series to the three-eighths mile, semi-banked, dirt oval on the Norman County Fairgrounds.
| Two seasons ago, it was Ricky Weiss that scored the win in the No. 7 Derrick's Sandblasting Bloomquist, and with Weiss currently on the World of Outlaws circuit, there will likely be a new winner at this season's event. Two-time NLRA winner in 2019, Donny Schatz, driver of the No. 15 Fargo Petro Rocket, was second at Norman County two seasons ago, with Ryan Mikkelson rounding out the podium. Three-time Norman County NLRA winner, Brad Seng, finished fourth in the No. 12S S&S Transport MB Custom, with Don Shaw completing the top five two seasons ago. The race at Norman County will be the second straight three-eighths mile oval the series visits, after last Sunday's event at the Nodak Speedway in Minot, ND, that was won by Schatz. Seng and Weiss lead all drivers with three previous wins at Norman County. You have to go back to 2012 to find another active series regular that has a win in Ada, as Dustin Strand, driver of the No. 71 Keewatin Truck Service Millenium SRT, won the August show that year, making Seng and Strand the only active series regulars with wins at the speedway. |  Dustin Strand is the most recent current series regular with a Norman County win.
