After two races in frigid conditions, the 40F+degree temperature swing at Park Rapids, MN was welcomed by racers and spectators alike. Due to a lack of snow in the area, the race was pushed from the ditches back to Fish Hook Lake. Although not ideal given the upcoming ditch courses, Park Rapids continues to be a gracious host. Also unchanged was the coveted Heartland 106 neon sign for the winner of the pro race.
