By Mike Spieker

GRAND FORKS, N.D.  (June 2, 2017) – The Wells Concrete Street Stock feature began with James Meagher grabbing the early lead from the pole position. Meagher paced the field of WISSOTA streeters until lap seven when East Grand Forks’ Nick Minske stole the top spot.

Minske then led the pack for several laps with Meagher, Matt Beehler, and 10th place starter, Ryan Johnson in tow. Johnson grabbed the second spot away from Meagher on lap 10 before setting his sights on Minske for the lead.
 
Johnson made the winning pass for the lead with three laps to go as he went on to become a repeat winner at River Cities Speedway.
