Stratton returns to victory lane
 |
Sun Prairie, Wis., July 30-Fast qualifier Danny Stratton captured the 25-lap Badger Midget Series feature Sunday Night at Angell Park Speedway. The victory was his first since capturing the season opener in April.
Harley Slotten jumped into the lead from his outside front row starting position. Slotten quickly opened up a large advantage over Buddy Luedke and a tightly bunched field. On the tenth lap Slotten enjoyed a three-plus second lead over
Luedke. One lap later Doug Schenck took over second place while Stratton had advanced to fifth position.
Slotten began lapping cars on the 14th lap while Schenck, series points leader Brad Kuhn, Stratton and Scott Hatton waged a torrid battle for second. Slotten held a 3.6 second lead when he suffered a flat tire on the 19th lap, bringing out the caution flag.
On the restart Stratton drove under Schenck for the lead. On the white flag lap with Stratton holding a comfortable lead the red flag appeared for a multi-car accident, bringing action to a halt. On the restart Stratton driving the Hans Lein
Spike-Esslinger executed a perfect restart and finished 1.06 seconds ahead of Hatton, Brandon
Waelti, Kuhn and Jimi Quin.
Kuhn holds a 127-point advantage over Hatton heading into the Aug. 5 event at Wilmot (Wis.) Speedway, before returning to Angell Park Speedway on Aug. 6.
