Inside Line Promotions – RAPID CITY, S.D. (July 27, 2016) – Seth Bergman recorded a pair of heat race victories and two top fives during The Rushmore Rumble last weekend.

Bergman’s two nights with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour at Black Hills Speedway nearly mirrored each other. The action began on Friday with Bergman winning a heat race from the pole position. That locked him into the feature redraw, where he pulled the highest number – eight – to start the main event on the outside of the fourth row.

Bergman battled toward a podium finish and was in the mix for one of the four lock-in positions into Saturday’s main event before he ended fifth, which was his 15th top five of the season.

The team returned to the big track on Saturday for the finale, which Bergman once again kicked off by winning a heat race from the pole. This time Bergman missed a spot in the feature redraw by only one position. That lined him up on the inside of the fifth row for the main event.

Bergman again maneuvered toward the podium before he settled for a fifth-place result, which was his seventh of the season with the ASCS National Tour.

The two performances helped Bergman advance to sixth place in the championship standings – only 36 points behind fourth place.

“It was a solid weekend for us,” he said. “Of course we wanted to win, but we made the most of our heat races and we moved forward in each main event.”

Bergman has now earned 16 top 10s in his last 18 races, including seven top fives.

He is scheduled to resume Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour competition this week with races on Thursday at Park Jefferson International Speedway in Jefferson, S.D., and Sunday at Badlands Motor Speedway in Brandon, S.D.

Bergman’s most recent victory this season came at Badlands Motor Speedway on May 29.
