Five-time NLRA series champion Mike Balcaen of Winnipeg, Manitoba, finished third in the NLRA series standings last season. Balcaen lead the point standings from the conclusion of the night at the I-94 Speedway in June, until a pair of nights with engine woes at the Viking Speedway on September 6th, and the prelude to the Johnny on September 10th ended his title hopes. Balcaen won the NLRA feature at the Red River Co-Op Speedway in August, a track where he was, once again, crowned champion. The 2016 season begins on Saturday night at the Jamestown Speedway in Jamestown, ND, where Balcaen has scored two previous NLRA series victories, those wins coming in 2011 and 2013.
