GRAND FORKS, N.D. (August 28, 2020) - Twenty-one Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprints were led to the green flag by Brendan Mullen and Chris Ranten for the 25-lap main event.

After a thrilling battle between the front row starters, Ranten took the lead and checked out from the rest of the field.

A caution on lap five bunched the field back up. Jade Hastings took over second on the restart as Ranten checked out once again.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (July 18, 2020) – Austin Pierce won his fourth feature of the 2020 campaign at River Cities, while Jade Hastings scored his second win of the season at the Devils Lake Speedway near Crary, ND.

On Friday night, Pierce started the evening winning the RZS Enterprises quick time award, then went on to finish third after starting sixth in his heat, scoring enough passing points to make the feature redraw. Pierce redrew the pole for the main event, with Jade Hastings redrawing the outside of the front row, setting up a showdown between the winners of four of the five features held at River Cities prior to that night’s contest.

GRAND FORKS, ND (July 10) - They say the first win of the season is the hardest to get, but once you get the first, the next ones come easier. Although he's ran up front all season long, Austin Pierce is certainly proving that true. It took the defending series champion until early July to pick up his first win of the season (last Saturday at Greenbush Race Park), but Pierce backed it up Friday night at River Cities Speedway by claiming his second consecutive checkered flag.
