Jordan, Wolden, Dvergsten, Miller, and Current Winners On Week Two At Buffalo River

By Spieker Promotions

GLYNDON, Minn. (May 23, 2021) - It was another week of exciting racing action on Sunday night at the Buffalo River Speedway, as Jacob Jordan won the SportMod feature, Ben Wolden went back-to-back in the Limited Late Models, Dexter Dvergsten remained undefeated in the Minn-Kota Lightning Sprints, and Will Miller scored his first career victory in the Hobby Stock division.

The IMCA SportMods were arguably the race of the night for the second consecutive week, as Jacob Jordan and Brandon Ferris led the field at the start of the race.

Jordan took the point at the start, as Ferris went three-wide with Doug Gardner and Rich Pavlicek for second. Gardner won the battle, and began to stalk Jordan for the lead early on in the twenty lap finale.

Gardner peeked to the inside of Jordan on a regular basis, while last week's winner Kelly Jacobson joined Ferris and Pavlicek in the battle for third.

The lead duo and the battle for third remained door-to-door each lap through the halfway point. Jacobson won the battle for third, as the leaders caught up to lapped traffic with seven laps left.

This allowed Jacobson to catch the leaders, as Gardner used the highside to briefly take the lead the following circuit.

Justin Jones then made it a four car battle for the victory with five laps remaining, and with heavy lapped traffic up ahead.

Gardner continued to show Jordan his right front wheel each lap as Jordan continued on to victory. Jacobson, Jones, and Pavlicek completed the top five.

The Minn-Kota Lightning Sprints made their first appearance at the Buffalo River quarter-mile this season, and it was Jason Berg and Alan Truscinski that led the field to green.

Wahpeton's Patrick Brejcha flipped his No. 60X machine on the initial start, but he emerged from his wrecked mount un-injured.

Berg led the opening lap on the restart, but it was third starting Dexter Dvergsten that took the lead on lap two.

Kelsi Pederson then moved in on Truscinski and Berg in the battle for second. Bryce Haugeberg joined that battle, which became a battle for third, as Truscinski took second.

Dvergsten worked lapped traffic to perfection as Haugeberg caught Truscinski in a bid for second.

The first caution just past the halfway point of the twenty lapper erased Dvergsten's advantage over the rest of the field.

Haugeberg stalked Dvergsten for the lead, as Alex Truscinski charged up to third. Dvergsten avoided disaster on the final lap, as a lapped car spun in front of him.

Dvergsten continued on to remain undefeated in three races with the Minn-Kota series in 2021. Alan and Alex Truscinski finished second and third respectively, while Pederson and Haugeberg completed the top five.

Andrew Tysdal and Larry Samuelson paced the field at the start of the fifteen lap Limited Late Model feature, with Tysdal leading the opening lap by a nose over fourth starting Ben Wolden.
Tysdal led the second circuit as well, but it was Wolden taking the point on lap three.

Only one caution slowed the race, as Wolden continued on to win for the second consecutive week over Scott Zimmerman, Zack Tysdal, Samuelson, and Andrew Tysdal.

Kyle Hallgren and Marv Priem made up the front row for the fifteen lap Hobby Stock feature, as Hallgren held off a hard charging Skyla Miller to lead the opening lap.

Skyla Miller and Will Miller went door-to-door on the second lap, as the latter took second on the second circuit.

Will Miller stalked Hallgren for the lead, as both were looking for their first career victories.

Will Miller took the lead with four laps remaining, and continued on to victory over Todd Gettel, Priem, Hallgren, and Andrea Jacobson.

John Current of Bemidji stormed from eleventh, and won a caution marred Short Tracker main event over Matt Pederson, Waylon Current, Curtis Huseth, and Levi Lease.
