The Late Model racing season came to a thundering end last night at River Cities Speedway, ending the John Seitz Memorial weekend with the 92 lap, $9200 to win feature race. With a feature race starting just before midnight, and about 11 or so yellow flags, the action was fast and crazy. Here's Joey to talk about the weekend's racing action:  Joey Pederson scored his second Performance Auto WISSOTA Late Model win Friday at the Bullring. Pederson led all but one of the 20 laps during the main event, but he had his hands full with multiple contenders throughout the duration of the race.
 GRAND FORKS, ND (June 19) - Joey Pederson has had the fastest Late Model in the field for the past couple of weeks at River Cities Speedway, but something has always inhibited him from getting the win and parking in RydellCars.com Victory Lane.
All that changed, however, Friday night in front of a packed grandstand during the World of Outlaw Sprint Car special. Pederson jumped out to the early lead over Mike Balcaen at the drop of the green flag and immediately opened up a five car length lead. Dustin Strand and Brad Seng were on the charge as they battled with Donny Schatz, Matt Aukland, and Balcaen for position two through six. The feature race was plagued with multiple cautions in the closing laps, which put a lot of quick cars right on Pederson's rear bumper. "Honestly, I drove as hard as I dared," said Pederson of those final restarts. "Last week I was leading it, drove too hard, hit a rut, and ended up giving that race away. So I was driving as hard as I could, but I just didn't want to give another one away again." Pederson held on to win his second race of 2015 and 32nd career feature at River Cities Speedway. "It all worked out. I thought the track was pretty racy, but I didn't really know where to run. I felt like a sitting duck out there in the lead and I was trying to listen for guys if they were running high or low. I never saw anybody's nose so I don't know how close they were to me, but I was running scared for sure," concluded Pederson.  GRAND FORKS, N.D. (May 19, 2017) – A stout field of 20 Performance Auto Late Models made the call for the 20-lap feature, led to the green flag by Joey Pederson and Shane Edginton.
Pederson grabbed the early lead as Brad Seng moved into second. Pederson began to pull away from the field as the laps clicked off, while Seng, Mike Balcaen, Bill Mooney and Edginton all fought for second through fifth. |
