CRARY, N.D. (May 26, 2018) – Nick Omdahl claimed his fifth career Devils Lake Speedway win Saturday night with the Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprints / Canadian-American Outlaw Sprints.
Several cautions slowed the Sprint Car feature, but once the race had a long green flag stretch, Omdahl pulled away from the field. Omdahl led the race with little challenge until the final five laps. Wade Nygaard, who was one of the few drivers running the high groove, reeled in Omdahl in lapped traffic and pulled to within two car lengths.
Omdahl moved up to take the groove away from Nygaard with two to go, which sealed the deal for the East Grand Forks, Minn. driver.
Omdahl took the win over Nygaard, Chris Ranten, Jordan Adams and Blake Egeland.
“I can just run so much harder here. I’m just not scared to go into the corner here like I am Grand Forks,” laughed Omdahl in victory lane.
It had been a crazy past couple of days for Omdahl trying to get his Ostrich powerplant ready to go in time for NOSA’s big three-race weekend.
“My motor got off the dyno at nine o’clock Thursday night, my dad got it home at eight in the morning. We got it fired at 3:30 Friday afternoon and went to the track,” he explained.
