Aaron Blacklance Chalks Up Number 4 

Grand Forks, ND - 8/9/2013 - By the numbers... There may have only been ONE 4 time A-Main winner so far in the 2013 season but right now Aaron Blacklance (5b) hasn't captured the points lead at The Legendary Bullring. As a matter of fact, there have been TWO other A-Main winners at River Cities Speedway, that being Jordan Duray (81) and Ryan Flaten (50) for a total of THREE A-Main winners in 2013. We could go on with the numbers, but one more fact we should point out that there have been 12 different heat winners in 2013.

Blacklance started his charge for the night in the 1st heat starting in the 5th position and winning his heat and putting him on the outside of the front row of the A-Main. In the 2nd heat, Horace, ND's Rick Schultz (4s) went flag to flag to start in the 8th position. The A-main was all Aaron Blacklance after shaking off several challenges early from Ryan Johnson (25) and Nick Minske (1m) The finish was Blacklance by 4.102 seconds, Schultz 2nd, and 3rd was Johnson.
