ALGER, Wash. — The first Thursday Night Heat program of the season at Skagit Speedway saw Oklahoma resident Seth Bergman return to his Washington roots and win the $2,500 top prize in the A Main for the Budweiser 360 Sprints.
Other winners on the night were Steve Parker in sportsman sprint competition and Shane Smith in the Northwest Focus Midget division
Jesse Schlotfeldt held serve early in the 360 main, with Bergman working his way into second around lap 10. Following a bevy of caution flags in the early and mid-portion of the main, Bergman found his rhythm and executed a perfect diamonding of turn three and four on lap 13 to take the top spot.
Bergman would cruise the rest of the way to pick up the win ahead of Schlotfeldt and Jason Solwold.
Bergman also set quick time on the night. Schlotfeldt won the dash, as well as his heat race. Cam Smith and Brock Lemley also won heats.Â
