GRAND FORKS, N.D. (August 25, 2017) – Mark Dobmeier cruised to yet another Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprint Car feature win Friday night at River Cities Speedway. Dobmeier took the lead from Chris Ranten on lap 11 with a big slide job in turns one and two. Dobmeier dove to the inside of Ranten and slid up the track as the two drivers made heavy contact. Ranten jumped over the left rear of Dobmeier as he tried to dive to the inside of the No. 13, which sent Ranten’s front wheels four feet into the air.

Ranten jumped over the left rear of Dobmeier as he tried to dive to the inside of the No. 13, which sent Ranten’s front wheels four feet into the air.
Both drivers were able to regain the handle on their machines, with Dobmeier leading, while Wade Nygaard took advantage to slip into second.
Austin Pierce quickly moved by Ranten for the third spot before chasing down Nygaard and taking second.
With five laps to go, a caution waved which put Pierce right on the rear bumper of Dobmeier for the restart. However, a broken driveline component forced Pierce pitside and out of the event. Pierce’s DNF brought an end to his NOSA top five streak, which dated back to May 12th.
On the restart, Dobmeier raced away from the field to claim his fourth win of the season at RCS. Ranten recovered to finish second, while Nygaard, Jordan Adams and Nick Omdahl rounded out the top five.
