DOYON, ND (June 19) - This Saturday night the Northern Outlaw Sprint Association will invade Devils Lake Speedway for their second of three appearances at the high-banked quarter-mile. 

The NOSA Sprints visited DLS back on May 30th and put on a great show with 33 sprints signed in to race. The A-main came down to two of the best drivers on the NOSA circuit, Wade Nygaard and Austin Pierce. As the two drivers took the white flag Pierce dove low in turn one and completed a beautiful slide job on Nygaard to take the lead. Nygaard had the momentum, however, reclaimed the lead down the backstretch, and beat Pierce back to the line for his 250th career Sprint Car win.


Nygaard currently holds a 21 point advantage over Pierce in the NOSA standings. Greg Nikitenko sits just 28 points back in third. 

A couple drivers will have the benefit of some home track advantage Saturday night. Michael Bischoff of Devils Lake has raced at DLS weekly for the past couple years and won the DLS Hornet track championship in 2014. Brayden Pengilly of Langdon considers DLS her home track and has competed there multiple times in the Lightening Sprint division.
