Tucker Finishes Second at Howie Schill Memorial at Red River Valley Speedway

East Grand Forks, Minn. (August 20, 2025) - Tucker ended the weekend for Pederson Racing with the highlight of the weekend, leading before a late restart and finishing second during the fifth running of the Howie Schill Memorial with the Northern Late Model Racing Association at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, ND.

Following a top ten on Friday night’s opener of the Howie Schill Memorial, Tucker started on the outside of the fourth row at the beginning of the 34-lap main event. It only took Tucker five laps to climb into the top five and he continued his march forward by grabbing the fourth spot two laps later on lap seven.

From there, Tucker caught up to the leaders as they worked through lapped traffic. Tucker passed Mitch Johnson to move into third as Don Shaw and Travis Robertson worked traffic. Robertson passed Shaw in traffic and Tucker followed into second as the laps wound down.

Tucker took the lead on the 30th lap from Robertson as the traffic began to lighten, but a caution with three to go gave everyone another shot in clean air to grab the victory. Tucker went three-wide with Robertson and Shaw on the restart and kept the second spot as Shaw took the lead back and went on to victory. Tucker finished second with Robertson finishing third.

The weekend wasn’t as good for the rest of the Pederson crew as Joey and Kelsi fell short of qualifying for the feature on Saturday and finished 26th and 22nd respectively on Friday.

The team returns to River Cities on Friday with a possible trip for the NLRA show Saturday at Dead Horse Creek Speedway in Morden, MB in the cards for Saturday.
