MINOT, ND (August 31, 2019) The Canadian-American Outlaw Sprintcar Series (CAOSS) invaded Minot, North Dakota's Nodak Speedway on Saturday night. The fifth running of the $2,000-to-Win Tyler Fedyk Memorial race was part of the city's annual Labour Day weekend automotive extravaganza, Motor Magic. It also marked the final night of racing on the Sprint Car group's 2019 schedule.
For the second consecutive year, Estevan, Saskatchewan's Kyle Fedyk won the Memorial.
Despite running a limited schedule in 2019, Fedyk was clearly ready for this night. The results played out in similar fashion to last year's win, but also with a little additional luck on his side. The luck part came in the way of a shredded left rear tire by the challenging 6N sprint car of Greg Nikitenko near the end of the 25-lap A Main.
"Well, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good", commented Fedyk. "Our car was really good, but Greg was definitely better."
As in 2018, Kyle won his heat race and then, starting from the front row, went on to win the feature.
Rounding up the Top 5 were Kyle Fedyk, Greg Nikitenko, Ryder Olson, Dusty Lawson and Brayden Pengilly.
Past winners of the Tyler Fedyk Memorial were Cory Mack (2015), Greg Nikitenko (2016, 2017), and Kyle Fedyk (2018, 2019)
