GRAND FORKS, N.D. (May 12, 2017) – Daniel Aberle visited RydellCars.com Victory Lane for the first time in his career after picking up the win in the Wells Concrete Street Stocks. A restart with five laps to go put defending race winner, Ryan Johnson, right on his rear bumper with Adam Burrows in third.

Aberle got a good jump on the restart and put some distance between himself and Johnson, while Burrows looked for second.

With two to go, Johnson began to reel in Aberle’s No. 33 and placed a bid for the lead on the final lap. Johnson pulled even with Aberle exiting turn two, but Aberle’s momentum up top carried back into the lead down the back stretch.

The Finley, N.D. driver came around to take the checkered flag ahead of Johnson, Burrows, Chase Boen, and Aaron Blacklance.
