Glyndon, MN (May 24) - The Northern Outlaw Sprint Association made it's third-ever appearance at Buffalo River Race Park Sunday night with 27 Outlaw Sprints signed in to try to tame the tricky quarter-mile.
Dave Glennon and Greg Nikitenko led the field to the green flag with Nikitenko grabbing the advantage on the high side. Disaster struck for Glennon and Austin Pierce, who were battling for the second position on lap three when Pierce jumped Glennon's right rear tire. Pierce's Opp Construction #2a was sent airborne and flipped two times before coming to rest in turn two. The contact also sent Glennon into a tractor tire, which acted as an infield barrier, and destroyed the nose wing on the Graphic Creation's #5. Luckily for Glennon, he was able to continue racing without the nose wing.

The race resumed with Nikitenko leading Jordan Adams and Bobby Martin, but eighth place starting Wade Nygaard came flying through the field and took over the third position on lap five. One lap later, Nygaard, with his brake rotors glowing bright red, was able to maneuver past Adams. From there he set his sights on Nikitenko, who was in search of his 12th career NOSA victory. Nygaard proved to be too tough, however, as he hunted down Nikitenko on lap nine and drove by him for the lead in turn three. At this point, Nygaard's brake rotors where bright orange, but he just kept getting faster.

Nygaard had established a healthy lead when the final caution flag flew with just six laps to go. This gave Nikitenko one final chance to reclaim the lead, but as the the green flag waved, Nygaard took off. With some rubber starting to be laid down on the racing surface, Nygaard kept his car in the groove and cruised to his first-ever Buffalo River Race Park victory. Nikitenko had to settle for second, while Chris Ranten came home third, followed by Mark Dobmeier who finished fourth from the 27th starting position. Adams rounded out the top five.

"We were in lapped traffic so quick," said Nygaard with a laugh after his win. "It was tough to get around some guys who were running in your lane, but luckily I didn't run into anybody and blow it."

The win was Nygaard's 115th career NOSA victory.
