​GRAND FORKS, ND (May 20) – After having last weekend off due to cold, rainy conditions, the S&S Transport team was ready to rock for a double header weekend starting Friday night in Grand Forks. 

River Cities Speedway’s winningest Late Model driver added another tally to his win total after Friday night’s Up North Financial main event. Brad Seng started inside the third row, charged through the field, and passed defending race winner, Mike Balcaen, on lap three down the back straightaway. Once out front, Seng ran to the low side of the speedway and built up a lead that he would not relinquish.

At the checkers, Seng took the win by 1.775 seconds over Balcaen, who held on to finish second. Shane Edginton drove eighth to third and Steffen Snare came home fourth in his season debut. Joey Pederson completed the top five. 

Saturday night, the crew made the haul to Williston Basin Speedway for the $2,000-to-win Late Model special.

Brad began the night by picking up the heat race win, which put him third on the 22-car starting grid. Seng stalked both Aaron Turnbull and Mike Balcaen all race long, but was unable to advance his position as he came home third at the completion of main event.
