Johnson leads second half of Late Model main to score NLRA win Thursday at Norman County

ADA, MN (July 23) - Zach Johnson returned to victory lane with the NLRA WISSOTA Late Model series while Jory Berg won feature No. 10 for 2026, as Norman County Raceway held another program of WISSOTA Dirt Track Series racing Thursday night, July 23.

Johnson took the lead in the WISSOTA Late Model headliner just before the halfway point and had about a half-second lead at the checkered flag ahead of Tyler Peterson in second. Jason Strand, Jack Koranda and 11th-starter Cole Schill completed the top five.

In the WISSOTA Midwest Mods, Berg moved out front with just a few laps to go and took the victory ahead of front-row starter Matt Schow. Aaron Blacklance, Justin Olson and Reise Stenberg completed the top five.

In other action at the track Thursday, Rich Pavlicek (IMCA Northern Sport Mods), Brody Carlsrud (IMCA Stock Cars), Ryan Braseth (INEX Legends), and Tyler Hall (IMCA Modifieds) all parked their rides in victory lane.
