Ratajczyk would pace all twenty-five laps after holding off an early challenge from Dave Jumper and then fending off the charge from Randy Korte during the last half of the event. In the closing laps Korte would have his hands full trying to hold off Mark Voigt as they battled for the second spot. Korte would hang on for second with Voigt taking a close third. Dave Jumper would come across the line fourth just ahead of fifth place finisher Scott Weber.

Pittsburgh, PA (March 31, 2013) After inclement early spring weather washed away the NDRL's inaugural weekend.

The two separate $20,000 to-win feature events will be accompanied by two separate $2,000 to-win events for the UMP Modifieds.

'First I want to extend a huge personal thank you to all the NDRL fans, drivers,' NDRL founder John Kennedy stated, 'as well as our partners like Cody McCarver, Legendary Entertainment, PIR and I-55 who stayed with us through all of the poor weather conditions during our inaugural race weekend. Our entire team was committed to providing a great event for everyone, but mother nature simply would not cooperate. We felt we needed to reschedule as soon as we could and April 12 and 13 was the best we could do. We're looking forward to getting the season underway, just a little later than we expected.'
