WEST FARGO, N.D. (Aug. 25) — Dustin Strand of Grand Forks, N.D., continued his hot streak on the Northern LateModel Racing Association tour Saturday night at Red River Valley Speedway, earning $1,100 for his third victory in the past four series races.

Strand, who had never won on the tour prior to back-to-back victories earlier in the month, advanced from his third starting spot and topped fifth-starting Brad Seng also of Grand Forks, in Saturday’s main event while Mike Balcaen of Winnipeg, Manitoba, rallied from 10th to finish third.

Reigning series champion and current points leader Ricky Weiss also of Winnipeg, finished fourth from the 11th starting spot with outside polesitter Michael Johnson of Moorhead, Minn., rounding out the top five.

Shane Edginton also of Winnipeg, started from the pole but failed to finish the race. He was 20th in the final rundown.
