GLYNDON, Minn. (Aug. 11) — Zach Johnson of Kensington, Minn., came from outside the fourth row Sunday at Buffalo River Race Park to scored his series leading third Northern LateModel Racing Association victory of the season. Johnson earned $1,100 in taking the checkers ahead of front-row starters and Grand Forks, N.D., drivers Dustin Strand and Brad Seng, who finished second and third.

Mike Balcaen of Winnipeg, Manitoba, who won Saturday’s NLRA event in Jamestown, N.D., was fourth with John Kaanta of Elk Mound, Wis., rallying from his 23rd starting spot for a fifth-place finish in the 25-car field.

Johnson’s previous series victories came May 26 at Viking Speedway in Alexandria, Minn., and June 19 at Norman County Raceway in Ada, Minn. ... All but one of Johnson’s 10 career NLRA victories have come in his home state. ... Besides Balcaen’s victory Saturday at Jamestown, Kent Arment won NLRA’s Thursday Thunder stop at Norman County. ... Donny Schatz, fresh off his seventh career Knoxville Nationals victory, jumped back into his Rocket Chassis Late Model for a sixth-place finish. He started 25th. ...
