This Saturday night, August the 18th, the NLRA will co-headline for the third and final time this season with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at the Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, ND. The race is scheduled to be the eleventh appearance by the series to the third-mile oval on the Red River Valley Fairgrounds.
This race will be the ninth time the series has ran at the track in it's current configuration, as the first two races were on the old half-mile.

This will also be the first points race at the Speedway since 2016, as last year's originally scheduled appearance was lost to rain.

One event was contested at the Speedway last season, as Donny Schatz, driver of the No. 15 Fastlane Car Wash Rocket, picked up the very popular hometown victory.

He was followed home by Ricky Weiss, driver of the No. 7 A.I.E. Communications Rocket, and Mike Balcaen, driver of the No. 10 Mission Transport Black Diamond, who rounded out the podium.

Past Red River Valley NLRA winners Brad Seng, driver of the No. 12S Schill Construction MB Custom, and Dustin Strand, driver of the No. 71 Genrations Salon & Spa Millenium SRT, finished fourth and fifth respectively last August.
​
Strand is the only repeat winner at the Red River Valley Speedway, as he has two wins to his credit on the three-eights mile configuration.

Schatz Picks Up Hometown Win In NLRA Return To Nodak
Cole Schill, driver of the No. 44 Mid Ag Dispatch MasterSbilt by JMR, is the only other series regular to score a win at Red River Valley. His win came in June two years ago.

In NLRA action thus far this season, Dustin Strand leads all drivers with three series wins coming into the four race stretch that starts at the Red River Co-op Speedway on Thursday, and continues at the River Cities Speedway on Friday. The series wraps up the stretch at the Sheyenne Speedway in Lisbon on Sunday night.

Strand's wins came at the Greenbush Race Park on June 23rd, on Midco Night at River Cities on June 29th, and at the Jamestown Speedway on August 4th.

Mike Balcaen has two wins this season. They came during the NLRA season opener at the Devils Lake Speedway on May 19th, and at the Greenbush Race Park on July 28th.

Ricky Weiss won at River Cities on June 15th, while Donny Schatz picked up a win in his hometown of Minot during the series return to the Nodak Speedway on August 5th.

The race at the Red River Valley Speedway will serve as a home race for a couple other series regulars. Moorhead's Travis Robertson, driver of the No. 1R The Bowler MasterSbilt, has shown speed in recent weeks following his scary wreck at River Cities on June 29th, including a strong fourth place run at the Devils Lake Speedway last Saturday night.

​West Fargo's Jeff Hapala, driver of the No. 16S City Parcel Delivery MasterSbilt by JMR, lead the first half of the main event in weekly competition at River Cities last Friday night, and scored a number of wins at the Red River Valley Speedway on both configurations in his Super Stock days.

2016 Wissota National Champion Dustin Strand has a 98 point lead over Brad Seng heafing into the weekend. Mike Balcaen is currently third, with Shane Edginton, driver of the No. 4 Performance Auto Victory in fourth, and 1998 series titlist Troy Schill rounding out the top five in his No. 11 Albrecht Manufacturing MasterSbilt.

Brody Troftgruben, driver of the No. 14 Shane's Landscaping Rocket, is sixth in the NLRA standings. Troftgruben wrapped up the Devils Lake Speedway Championship last Saturday night.

Rookie Jesse Teunis, driver of the No. 70 Performance Auto MasterSbilt is seventh, with Bill Mooney driver of the No. 2 Winnipeg Hearing Centres MasterSbilt eighth.
