Wildung win opens NLRA Labor Day doubleheader at Alexandria Viking Speedway

by Ray Beste
Alexandria, MN (September 3) – Nassau, MN legend Jeff Wildung once again proved why he is one of the best in the business scoring the Northern Late Model Racing Association (NLRA) Late Model feature win Saturday night at Viking Speedway. Cody Skytland remained on his tear taking top honors in the WISSOTA Modified finale while Jon Stepan tallied his first WISSOTA Super Stock feature win of the season. Travis Saurer (WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds) and Chris Winter (WISSOTA Street Stocks) each visited victory lane as well during night one of Viking Speedway’s Labor day doubleheader.

In the final event of the evening, Ricky Weiss was able to hold Jeff Wildung at bay for the first seven laps before Wildung took the advantage and eventually the win. The race, which was slowed several times by several accidents, witnessed a lot of hard charging efforts. West Fargo, ND youngster Cole Schill started the event in the 26th and spot and finished a very respectable 12th. Out front it was all Wildung taking the win over the ever rock steady, Brad Seng. Weiss, 10th starter Corey Nelson, and Joel Cryderman rounded out the top five for the NLRA Late Models, who drew 30 competitors.
