Inside Line Promotions – FORT WORTH, Texas (April 11, 2017) – Seth Bergman charged to his third top 10 of the season last Saturday during the finale of the Tony Stewart presents the Texas Sprint Car Nationals at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.

Bergman opened the two-day Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour event on Friday by advancing from fifth to fourth place in a heat race before he ended second in a qualifier. That earned enough combined points to lock him into the 12th starting position in the main event.

“The track was pretty abrasive and ate up tires throughout the night,” he said. “It was difficult to get into a good rhythm in the main event. We battled between 10th and 15th throughout the race and struggled to move forward.”

Bergman ended with a 15th-place finish.

The event concluded on Saturday, when Bergman maneuvered from sixth to third place in a heat race before he finished where he started – fifth – in a qualifier. That locked him into the 14th starting position for the feature.

“We methodically worked our way up there,” he said. “We were able to take advantage of a couple of cautions to pick cars off. We closed in on Tony Stewart and Johnny Herrera for fourth and fifth place at the end, but needed another lap or two to try to get a top five.”

Bergman capped the night with a sixth-place finish. He ranks fourth in the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour championship standings entering the next event, which is this Saturday at Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Mo.

Bergman was victorious during his most recent race at the track and he also posted results of second and sixth there last season. He placed fifth in 2015.
