GRAND FORKS, N.D. (August 7, 2020) – Tim Estenson and Jordan Graham led the Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprint cars to green with a 17-car field. Graham inherited the early lead out of turn one, but was being stalked by Jade Hastings. An early race caution flew and lined the cars side-by-side lining Hastings up to the outside of Graham. Again Graham shot to the lead, but was pestered by Hastings on the high side.
“This was probably the best car I’ve had [at River Cities} all year,” said Hastings, who now has 12 career NOSA wins, one behind Thomas Kennedy for 10th on the all-time wins list. “This is by far the best season we’ve ever had. I think we’ve really stepped up our game and it feels really good to compete night in and night out.
Hastings sits 14 points behind Austin Pierce in track points, but holds a 33 point advantage in NOSA points over Wade Nygaard. Pierce, Nygaard, Brendan Mullen, and Blake Egeland rounded out the top five finishers.
