GRAND FORKS, ND (September 5) - One night after a losing the Midwest Modified feature to close friend and rival, Tyler Peterson, in the closest finish ever at River Cities Speedway, Dale Kraling came back on Friday night bound and determined.

Rich Pavlicek and Kraling made up the front row of the 24 car grid and led the field to the opening green flag. Kraling powered by Pavlicek coming out of turn four to take control of the race lead as Thursday night's winner, Tyler Peterson, slipped into third. Peterson moved into second on lap three and put the Bloomfield Enterprises #7 in his cross hairs once again. Peterson searched every inch of the 3/10th mile bullring to try to find the right groove to catch Kraling, but it was to no avail as Kraling led the 20 lap event wire to wire and picked up the victory. Peterson's hopes of the $2000 weekend were dashed with his runner-up finish. William Lund, Rich Pavlicek, and Jess Brekke rounded out the top five.
