Dustin Strand Goes Worst to First for River Cities Checkers

Grand Forks, North Dakota (06/14/16) – The box score may have made Dustin Strand’s win at River Cities Speedway on Friday night look easy, but his fourth conquest of 2016 was anything but simple. A lap-1 flat forced the pilot of the RealTruck.com #71 Q&Z Plumbing & Heating/Millenium Late Model to come from the tail to take the checkered flag.

“That one definitely wasn’t easy, but it just makes the win that more satisfying,” said Strand with his signature grin. “I just made my mind up that I wasn’t going to let that first lap, flat tire keep us from being a contender to win the race. Thanks definitely goes out to my crew for getting me back on track so quick.”

Piloting his RealTruck.com #71 Super Late Model, Dustin Strand was one of 15-entries signed in at River Cities Speedway (Grand Forks, North Dakota) for a Weekly Racing Series Event. Improving three positions in his heat, Strand posted a 4th-place finish, earning him a front row starting spot for the feature alongside Steve Anderson. After suffering a flat tire early in the event, Dustin came from the tail of the field, storming to his fourth win of the season with Bill Mooney, Steffen Snare, Zach Naastad, and Brandon Fuller trailing him to the checkers.

The following night brought Strand to Jamestown Speedway (Jamestown, North Dakota) for the Northern Late Model Racing Association (NLRA) sanctioned event. In a strong field of 30-cars, Strand gained two spots in his heat, landing a runner-up finish behind Steffen Snare. Advancing three more spots in the feature, Dustin notched a 4th-place finish behind Zach Naastad, Cole Schill, and Shane Edginton with Ryan Corbett coming in 5th.

For more information from these events, please visit www.RiverCitiesSpeedway.com and www.NLRA.org .

The upcoming weekend, June 17-18, will take Dustin into battle in a pair of Northern Late Model Racing Association (NLRA) events.

Bergman Rallies for Top 10 at Route 66 to Kick Off ASCS Speedweek

Inside Line Promotions - AMARILLO, Texas (June 14, 2016) - Seth Bergman rebounded from a sour start to the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour's 24th annual Sizzlin' Summer Speedweek.

Bergman endured a DNF in a heat race last Saturday at Route 66 Motor Speedway, which relegated him toward the back of the main event. However, he powered from 22nd to post a 10th-place result.

"We were buried in the feature lineup after the heat race, but we were able to salvage a decent finish," he said. "It was a tough way to start Speedweek. The positive is that we overcame the heat race and rallied for a top 10."

Bergman, who ranks eighth in the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour championship standings, garnered the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars in the main event.

He will take that momentum into the remainder of the Speedweek, which features races on Wednesday at Lawton Speedway in Lawton, Okla.; Thursday at Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa, Okla.; Friday at Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Mo.; and Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo.

Tuesday's event at Devil's Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas, has been rained out.

Mark Burch Motorsports Getting Prepared for 2016 Campaign following New Addition

Inside Line Promotions - LINCOLN, Neb. (June 14, 2016) - Mark Burch Motorsports is set up for the 2016 season.

Team Owner Mark Burch recently finished completing his new race trailer from S & S Welding, which is an industry leader in manufacturing custom built motor coaches and trailers. Burch's previous trailer flipped over on its side during a violent storm last September.

"I want to thank everyone at S & S for the hard work on building us a new trailer," Burch said. "We were without a trailer for a few months, but are now set up well for whenever we head to the track."

Burch also shook down his sprint car last Saturday during a Carpetland Nebraska 360 Sprints event at Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, Neb., where he made his first driving appearance in approximately a decade.

"We just wanted to work on some engine stuff and make sure we got any kinks out of the car," he said. "We want to be hitting on all cylinders once Danny Lasoski is able to get back in the car. I want to thank Parker Burch, Cal Werner, Rich Werner, D-Wayne Gropp, Tom Dorr and Gage Dorr for all their help last week. I would not have made it to the track without them!"

Burch said he doesn't have a set date when the team will make its 2016 debut and will tackle events this year that fit both his and Lasoski's busy schedules.

He will do whatever he can to find the right camshaft that will work with your engine combination, chassis and driver.
