CRARY, ND (May 12, 2018) – Jade Hastings topped a slim, but stout field of Buffalo Wild Wings/Canadian-American Outlaw Sprints Saturday at Devils Lake Speedway. Hastings grabbed the lead on lap one from the front row as Wade Nygaard split pole sitter Ty Hanten and Blake Egeland to take second.
From there it was a two-horse race as Nygaard tried to reel in Hastings, but Hastings was too quick. The 20-year-old Grand Forks driver opened up nearly a half-lap lead at the midpoint of the race as he effortlessly sliced his way through traffic.
Nygaard cut Hastings’ lead in half in the closing laps, but didn’t have enough to muster a serious challenge. Hastings cruised to his first career win at Devils Lake Speedway and third career Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprint Car win.
