Berry Extends Dakota Tour Streak with Dacotah Speedway Triumph

By Ben Deatherage MANDAN, N.D. (July 8, 2026) — Tom Berry Jr. continued his Dakota Classic Modified Tour powered by Industrial Electric dominance Wednesday night, charging to his third consecutive victory in the opening of a two-night stand at Dacotah Speedway after the scheduled stop at Southwest Speedway was relocated because of rain and saturated grounds. Nine-time reigning Williston Basin Speedway champion Travis Hagen paced the opening laps of the 30-lap Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature and quickly opened a comfortable advantage before a caution on lap six erased his lead.
