Brad Seng Pulls the "Spin & Win" in the NLRA Late Model Feature

By Mike Spieker

GRAND FORKS, ND (July 4) - By far, the wildest race of the night was the Wissota NLRA Late Model feature. It all began with eight laps to go when the defending Late Model track champion, Joey Pederson, and the defending NLRA series champion, Dustin Strand, where racing hard for the lead down the back chute. The two drivers made contact and both were sent spinning out of control near the entrance of turn three, bringing out the yellow flag. Pederson, as a result of the contact, was charged with the caution and was sent to the rear of the field.

With five laps to go, Brad Seng made a power move that took him from third to first in a half lap. One circuit later, Seng and second place running, Ricky Weiss, made contact which sent the Bergstrom Electric #12 spinning and also brought out the caution. Weiss was sent to the tail and Seng returned to his spot in front of the pack, but with a ton of right rear quarter panel damage.

Seng held off a hard charging Dustin Strand during a green-white-checkered finish to claim the feature win. Pederson rebounded for second while Strand, Mike Balcaen, and Steve Anderson rounded out the top five.
