This Thursday night, August 20th, the NLRA will race for the second time in three weeks, and for the final time for the 2020 season, at the Norman County Raceway in Ada, MN. This will be the twenty-first visit by the series to the three-eighths mile oval on the Norman County Fairgrounds.
| Three weeks ago, it was Dustin Strand who picked up the win in the No. 71 Naastad Acres Millenium SRT, passing Don Shaw on lap six, and winning his first Late Model feature at the track since 2012. Brad Seng was second in the No. 12S Forks Freightliner MB Custom, with Dave Mass, Pat Doar, and Casey Meyer rounding out the top five three weeks ago. Norman County returned to the series schedule that night after a three-year hiatus. "I wish we could run here more often." Strand said after his win three weeks ago. "This is a fun track, we've raced here a lot with the B-Mod and the A-Mod, and we use to love coming here weekly with the A-mod. It's a lot of fun to be back here. We have a lot of followers, and a lot of people who like to see us race here, too." Strand and Seng are the only active series regulars with wins at the speedway, as Seng won the opening night of the fair double header in June 2016, with Strand winning the August show in 2012. |  Brody Troftgruben is second in points, six points back of Dustin Strand.

The series points tightened up after last Saturday's event at the Greenbush Race Park, as a DNF for Strand brought Brody Troftgruben, and his No. 14 Kaz Brothers Construction Rocket, to within six markers of the top spot.
