GRAND FORKS, N.D. (May 25, 2018) – The Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprints were 21 cars strong for their main event. It looked as though Chris Ranten was going to run away with the 25 lap feature early on.
Ranten took the lead on the opening lap over Jade Hastings. Mark Dobmeier drove from sixth to second on lap one, but he was relegated back to third as Hastings reclaimed the runner-up position. Ranten raced his way to a full straightaway lead over Hastings as he sliced his way through lapped traffic. Hastings managed to keep Dobmeier at bay as well through the first half of the race.
The only thing that could slow Ranten was the caution flag. A restart just after halfway was all Dobmeier needed to charge from third to the lead. Ranten remained within striking distance for several laps, but Dobmeier eventually became untouchable as he stretched out his lead.
Dobmeier took the win over Austin Pierce, Ranten, Wade Nygaard and Jordan Adams.
