Summer's end

The crazy wrath of summer boredom is nearly extinct and with practices for most fall sports beginning this week, I will be doing fall previews before I head home for a wedding.

Last week I covered the turtle races in Upham, which was a fun and unique experience. I also covered the races and a few other things.

Here are a few pictures from the race:

Russ Reimer (right) and Ryan Schroeder (middle) toss candy to the kids after the trophy dash last Sunday.

Byron Lesmann avoids Travis Lehman as Lehman spins out around turn two last Sunday at Thunder Mountain Speedway north of Bottineau.

The sport stock division got a little bumpy as Cody Smith (middle) got cozy with Nick Monson (left) and Erik Blada (right).

Mike Lemay was right on Ryan George's tail during the second heat of sport stocks.

Mike Sivertson got nudged a little wide around turn four by Ray Smith.

The crowd was a plenty last Sunday at TMS.

The sport stock trophy dash race gets the green flag.
