Inside Line Promotions – MESQUITE, Texas (March 20, 2017) – Seth Bergman produced a pair of strong results last weekend during the 44th annual Spring Nationals to start the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour campaign on the right foot.

Bergman earned a top-five finish each night at Devil’s Bowl Speedway during the season-opening ASCS National Tour event. He has now scored at least one top five at the track for the past five years.

“We had a great car all weekend and moved forward almost every time we were on the track,” he said. “Any time you can come away from a weekend with two top fives when there are almost 50 drivers racing it’s a good performance.”

Bergman opened the event on Friday by advancing from third to second place in both his heat race and qualifier. That ranked him fifth in overall points and locked into the fifth starting position for the main event.

“The track was one lane around the top and since we started on the bottom we didn’t get a great start,” he said. “I lost a bit there, but we were able to rally back into fifth and were all over John Carney II for fourth until the checkered flag.”

Bergman finished fifth, which was only one spot shy of locking into Saturday’s feature redraw.

He returned to the track on Saturday and picked up where he left off. Bergman charged from eighth to second place in a heat race and he maneuvered from sixth to second place in a qualifier. That gave him the most combined points and lined him up fifth overall – behind the four locked-in drivers from Friday.

“The top was the best place to start again and then the bottom came in for a little in turns one and two,” he said. “There were some good battles all race long so it was great to come away with another top five.”

Bergman posted a fourth-place finish. He was one of only four drivers to garner a top-five result each night.

The team returns to action Friday and Saturday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., for the Park City Cup/Air Capital Shootout with the NCRA and Sunday at Randolph County Raceway in Moberly, Mo., with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
