Inside Line Promotions – BELGRADE, Mont. (July 11, 2016) – Seth Bergman’s return to Gallatin Speedway yielded two top 10s last weekend with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
Bergman, who last raced at the track in August 2008, opened the doubleheader on Friday by winning a heat race after starting on the outside of the front row. That earned him a trip into the feature redraw, where he pulled the No. 3 to start the main event on the inside of the second row.
Bergman battled for a top five throughout the main event before ending sixth.
“We didn’t hit the setup perfectly and weren’t in contention for the win like we were trying to be,” he said. “We got things better for Saturday, but had to come from further back.”
Bergman capped the weekend on Saturday by advancing from third to second place in a heat race. That lined him up on the outside of the sixth row for the main event.
“The track took rubber so passing was at a premium,” he said. “I tried to race a smart race and not burn up the tires too quickly. We were able to get a couple of positions when other people had tire issues and we made a few passes to rebound and earn a top five.”
Bergman maneuvered from 12th to a fourth-place result, which was his 14th top five of the season.
He will return to ASCS National Tour competition July 22-23 at Black Hills Speedway in Rapid City, S.D.
