A lengthy rain delay during heat race action halted things for close to an hour, but the RCS track crew worked diligently to get the Bullring back in shape for a great night of racing.

Just 11 points separate the two drivers and it will all be decided tonight on the high banks of the bullring. 

Also in action will be the NLSA Lightning Sprints. When the Lightning Sprints last visited RCS for their two-race special during the Greater Grand Forks County Fair, Dexter Dvergsten swept the feature action. 

INEX Legends, Pure Stocks, and Slingshots will also be racing tonight. 

Racing starts at 7pm! Save $15 at the front gate with a Family Pass (admits two adults and three kids).

GRAND FORKS, ND (September 8) - Thursday night at the Prelude to the Johnny, Dustin Strand rewrote the history books by turning the fastest lap in a Late Model ever recorded at River Cities Speedway. 

On lap seven on heat race number three, Brad Seng broke the track record with a lap of 11.453, but on the next circuit Strand laid down an 11.422 second lap, shattering the previous track record of 11.514 seconds, set by Seng on April 22, 2016. 

Strand’s speed around the fast, tacky three-tenths bullring was 94.554mph on average. 

“It feels good, that’s pretty cool,” said Strand of having the track record honor. “Obviously the track wasn’t real condoned to passing, but it widened out for the feature and turned out to be pretty good.”

Strand went on to win the NLRA Late Model feature later that evening after starting in seventh. 

Racing continues at River Cities Speedway on Friday and Saturday night with the running of the 10th annual John Seitz Memorial, presented by Simplot.

Up for grabs was the NLRA Late Model season championship, as well as a qualifying spot in Friday night’s $8,200-to-win Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin’ Back Row Challenge for the NOSA Sprints. Dustin Strand, Preston Carr, and Ryan Johnson were victorious in WISSOTA PolyDome Dirt Track Series action, while Thomas Kennedy found victory lane with the NOSA Sprints.
