Omdahl Dances with the Devil

CRARY, N.D. (May 20, 2018) – Nick Omdahl’s Devils Lake Speedway dominance continued Saturday night with the Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprints / Canadian-American Outlaw Sprints. Omdahl topped the field of 23 410 Sprint Cars in convincing fashion. Jordan Adams grabbed the lead at the start of the 25-lap event, but he was quickly chased down by Wade Nygaard.

Nygaard took the lead on lap four and looked to have the car to beat until the halfway point. That’s when Omdahl made his way into second and reeled in Nygaard in lapped traffic. With 13 laps to go, Omdahl dove to the inside of Nygaard and a lapped car to take the lead down the front straightaway. Nygaard tried to pull a crossover move in turns one and two, but Omdahl was too quick.

​A restart with two laps to go put Nygaard right on the rear bumper of Omdahl, who was dealing with a broken right front shock. Despite fighting a wounded race car, Omdahl wheeled his No. 0 machine to the win over Nygaard, Austin Pierce, Chris Ranten and Jade Hastings.
