(August 8, 2018) – The NLSA Lightning Sprints returned to action Saturday, August 4 at Greenbush Race Park in Greenbush, Minn. and Sunday, August 5 at Buffalo River Race Park in Glyndon, Minn. 

Alex Truscinski collected his fourth NLSA Lightning Sprint win in a row at Greenbush Race Park. The Greenbush, Minn. driver started on the pole and led all 15 trips around the high-banked three-tenths mile oval. With five laps to go, Alan Truscinski took the second spot from Kelsi Pederson to make it a one-two finish father-son duo.

Pederson held on to finish third over Mike Schmiedeberg and Dexter Dvergsten.

On Sunday at Buffalo River Race Park, it looked as though Jason Berg was going to pick up his first career feature win. Berg led 19 of the 20 laps, but had the race stolen from him on the final lap.

Entering the turn one on the final lap, Berg washed up the track which allowed Abrahamson to cut underneath him. Abrahamson took the point exiting turn two and went on to score his third win of the season at Buffalo River.

Berg, Pederson, Dvergsten, and Lawrence Veralrud rounded out the top five.
