GRAND FORKS, ND (July 12, 2023) – This Friday night July 14th, and again on Saturday night July 15th, the River Cities Speedway will play host to an all-Sprint Car program featuring the return of the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Cars, who will take on the Buffalo Wild Wings Northern Outlaw Sprint Association during the King of the Wings event at the Bullring.
The events are scheduled to be the fourth and fifth visits by the Wisconsin / Illinois based 410 Sprint Series, which made its return to Grand Forks last season for the first time since 2004. Austin Pierce, the six-time track champion, defended home turf on night one of last season's event, while the IRA'ers got the last laugh when former series champion Jake Blackhurst went from third to first in the final corners to steal the win, and take the title belt back home with him to Hanna City, Illinois. Mark Dobmeier will lead the NOSA crew into the battle as the defending series and track champion with his two visits to RydellCars.com victory lane this season, one of which came last Friday night. Jade Hastings will also be ready to defend for the home series after leading 55 of the 60 feature laps run last year. The IRA will be led by rookie Brenham Crouch of Lubbock, Texas, who leads the current series standings over defending series champion Jordan Goldesberry with longtime series regular Russel Borland in third. Another rookie sits fourth, and he is the most recent IRA winner Travis Arenz, who scored his first ever series win July 1st in Plymouth, WI. Joining the IRA and NOSA will be the debut of the Superior Customs Red River Sprint Series. The Fargo-area based IMCA RACESaver Sprint series debuted this season and will bring some good up-and-coming talent in their own right. Among them will be point leader Tye Wilke, the former INEX legends ace, Andy Pake, son of the first River Cities Speedway points champion and speedway hall-of-famer, Brad Pake, and the Eisenschenk sisters, nieces of ten-time World of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz. Joining the King of the Wings, minus the wings, will be the Western and Northern Renegades, as they make their first appearance at the Bullring this season. Ken Hron and Chris Lewis will lead the Iron Range-based contingent against Dusty Lawson and Myles Tomlinson and the Western crew. Current NOSA rookie of the year point leader Adam Sobolik has been lights out again with the Western crew in Devils Lake, but it's unknown if he'll run both or just in one series. The POWRi Minn-Kota Lightning Sprints will also be on the card. This will be their fourth appearance at the track thus far this season. Greenbush drivers Dexter Dvergsten and Alex Truscinski have been the head of the class this season. Dvergsten has two wins at the track this season, and 12 in his career, while Truscinski won the first race for the series here in May, his fifth at the Bullring. Kelsi Pederson will be another driver to look out for, as she has three wins of her own with the series this season. Racing is set to begin at 7:00pm each night. Can't make it out?

We will see you SUNDAY for the Northern Late Model Racing Association special to close out the fair! Dvergsten, Raasaaka, and Pederson also winnersAnother week of action at the Bullring, and another milestone victory, as Dustin Strand won his 100th and 101st features at the Legendary quarter-mile oval last Friday night, winning both the WISSOTA Modified and NLRA Late Model features.
Brandon Corbett and Tom Corcoran brought the 20 lap Cirrus Aircraft Late Model feature to green, with Corcoran taking the point at the start. Corcoran led until a lap six restart when Strand roared around his outside to take the top spot. The Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprints are back at the Bullring this Friday night for the second round of the Wayne Anderson Cup!
Mark Dobmeier will be looking to go two-for-two in series competition at the track this year, with Austin Pierce just one win shy of a milestone 50th NOSA win, and Brendan Mullen showing speed with the Outlaws last week. Will another driver be able to join Tyler Peterson and Lance Schill in the win column in the Cirrus Aircraft Late Models? Brad Seng may be one to look out for, as he won the King of the Dirt at I-94 Speedway in Fergus Falls last weekend. Can points leader Jory Berg make his first visit to Rydellcars.com victory lane on Friday? Previous winners Austin Hunter and Lance Schill may have something to say about that. And possibly the hottest driver in the area is Tucker Pederson. He and the rest of the Big Al’s Construction Street Stocks return, and he'll be a contender for his fifth win of the season. Former winners Weston Ramsrud and Seth Klostreich will look to keep Pederson out of the win column at the Bullring this year.

Dobmeier's Win By .049 Over Hastings is Second Closest in Recorded Sprint HistoryGrand Forks, N.D. (September 22, 2022) - The 2022 season ended with a bang Friday night, as Mark Dobmeier won the Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprint Blazin' Challenge and the track points title over Jade Hastings in the second closest Sprint feature finish in track history since transponders started being used at the speedway in 2006.
Following his win in the King of the Hill, where eight drivers went head to head in an elimination style tournament to set the starting lineup, Mark Dobmeier's consecutive victories with 9.7 second laps gave him the first option to take the Blazin' Challenge, which sends drivers to the back of the starting lineup in exchange for more prize money if they can still win the race. Dobmeier was one of six drivers that took the challenge, leaving track point leader Jade Hastings and Zach Omdahl with the front row starting spots to start the 35 lap season finale. Hastings needed every spot he could get following a DNF's at the previous Saturday's Wayne Anderson Cup finale, and earlier in the night in his heat race. Those results totally erased his point lead, needing to beat Dobmeier in the feature to win the title. Things looked good for him early, as he led until lap 22 when Tim Estenson lost an engine. Estenson was ok, even though his No. 14T was briefly on fire. On the restart, Dobmeier, who had climbed from 17th to second, swapped the lead with Hastings throughout the closing laps of the race. Negotiating through lapped traffic as the white flag flew, the pair crossed the finish line nearly dead even, initiating a scoring review. Upon further review between track and NOSA series officials, it was determined Dobmeier was the winner of the race and with it the track points title. The margin of victory, by .049 seconds, is the second closest in recorded history. The closest is Bobby Martin over Thomas Kennedy in July 2010 at .043 seconds. Blake Egeland charged from 15th to third, while 14th starting Brendan Mullen and Shane Roemeling completed the top five. Johnson Wins Delaine Memorial |
