Inside Line Promotions – WHEATLAND, Mo. (Sept. 28, 2016) – Seth Bergman showcased moments of strength during the Hockett/McMillin Memorial last weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway.

The brightest moment of the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour tripleheader came on the opening night last Thursday, when Bergman placed fourth in a heat race and third in a B Main to miss transferring into the main event by only one spot. That forced him to use a provisional to start the feature on the inside of the 12th row.

“We made a few changes from what we learned in the heat race and the B Main and the car was a lot better in the feature,” he said. “We were able to maneuver our way through the field pretty good and end on a positive note.”

Bergman rallied from 23rd to post a ninth-place finish, which marked his 41st top 10 of the season and earned him the Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars.

Unfortunately, the remainder of the weekend didn’t go as well. Bergman finished fifth in a heat race and eighth in a B Main on Friday. He used a provisional to advance into the main event, which ended in a DNF.

The event finale on Saturday began with Bergman winning a heat race before he picked up a position to garner a third-place result in a qualifier. That locked him into the 16th starting position for the main event. However, a flat tire relegated him to another DNF.

“That was frustrating to end the weekend that way,” he said. “We struggled at times all weekend, but seemed to be on the right note on Saturday when we ran into some bad luck. We’ll just move on to the next one.”

Bergman will return to action this Saturday at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., for the Midwest Fall Brawl V with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
