MORDEN, MB (August 11, 2013) Frank Elias drove the race of his life and netted a cool $1,000.00 first prize money as he became the first winner of the Northern Lightning Sprint Association’s Northern Shootout at Morden, Manitoba’s ALH Motor Speedway on Sunday evening.

He started by having the fastest lap in qualifying, followed by a dominating performance in his heat race. Elias then proceeded to win the Pole Dash, earning himself the pole position for the feature.

This was truly Frank Elais’ finest hour as a racer.

Elias dominated and drove the Chris Unrau #27 Lightning Sprint into Victory Lane but under difficult circumstances.  

Earlier in the week, the Unrau family was torn by the loss of two family members.  In their memory, a sign was displayed on the #27’s wing which read, “You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race. Forever in our hearts, Barry and Zack.”

In 2006, Carrie Underwood recorded a song entitled Jesus, Take The Wheel.  On this night when everything ran to perfection for Frank Elias and team Unrau, one gets the feeling that He may very well have done just that.

Sometimes all you need is a positive sign to make a bad day better.

For the Unrau’s, witnessing this Devine drive of their car came at just the right time.

For NLSA president Chris Unrau and the members of the Northern Lightning Sprint Association, this day was a sign of hope for a better tomorrow.

Rounding up the top five were Frank Elias, Roland Bernard, Brent Steg, Murray Temple and Al Giesbrecht.
