Bergman highlighted a tripleheader weekend by claiming a feature victory at Huset’s Speedway during his debut at the high-banked track on Sunday. It was his eighth win of the season.
“That’s a race I’ve always wanted to win,” he said. “I grew up in that area and you want to leave your name at those race tracks. It meant something to me.”
Bergman was caught up in a minor fender bender en route to Devil’s Bowl Speedway for the opening round of the Bob Westphal Memorial Cup Speedweek with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
The two wins at Cottage Grove Speedway highlighted a four-race weekend with the ASCS Northwest Region throughout Oregon.
Bergman charged from ninth to record his first win in Washington since 2010, which was also the year of his most recent visit to Skagit Speedway.
Bergman earned the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour Hard Charger Award on Saturday after rallying from the B Main to a seventh-place result during the Eagle Motorsports Rock ‘N Roll 50 Presented by MyRacePass main event at Riverside International Speedway.
Bergman claimed his inaugural race at Outlaw Motorsports Park in Wainwright, Okla., last season and he picked up his first career Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour triumph during the series’ last visit at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark., in 2012.
Seth Bergman capitalized on that situation last Friday during the ASCS Sooner Region feature at West Siloam Speedway in West Siloam Springs, Okla., where a lengthy red flag for a crash allowed Bergman’s crew to make the needed changes.
Bergman will make his debut at West Siloam Speedway in West Siloam Springs, Okla., this Friday before heading to Springfield Raceway in Springfield, Mo., for a race that is co-sanctioned with the ASCS Warrior Region.
