08.29.14 WISSOTA Late Model Recap

Brad Seng rolls to his 8th River Cities Speedway win of 2014.

By Mike Spieker

Brad Seng's dominance continued Friday night as he cruised to yet another Wissota Late Model victory at River Cities Speedway.

Dustin Strand and Zach Naastad led the field to the green. Strand grabbed the hole-shot into turn one, but Naastad found a groove on the high side and came around to lead the opening lap. Naastad’s lead was short lived, however, as fifth place starter, Don Shaw, came flying through the field and took over the point on lap two. Shaw opened up a sizable lead throughout the midpoint of the race, but his advantage was rapidly decreasing in the closing laps as Strand and Seng battled for second. With five laps to go, Shaw and Strand went three wide around a lapped car on the front stretch and continued to battle side by side into turns one and two. Strand had the advantage as they headed into turn three, but he tried to shoot a gap that wasn’t open and spun his RealTruck.com #71; bringing out the caution. A very unhappy Strand lit up the rear tires as he was informed to tag the rear of the field. The Evergreen Insurance restart put the race back under green flag conditions and Seng rocketed into turn one. By the time they exited turn two and headed down the back stretch, Seng had assumed the lead and already began to stretch it out. Seng cruised around the three-tenths mile oval one final time and took his eighth RCS checkered flag of the year.
