SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. — Gary “Bubba” Altig rebounded from a few tough weeks of racing to capture the 30-lap Badger Midget Series feature victory at Angell Park Speedway Sunday night.
It was the second-career midget-feature victory for the Mechanicsburg, Ill., driver.
Altig took the point from Davey Ray on lap eight and stretched it to as much as a straightaway before the midway point.
A caution on lap 22 due to an incident involving second-running Michael Pickens, a lapped car and Dan Mecum, moved Brandon Waelti behind Altig for the restart. Altig quickly pulled away, using two lapped cars to gain a 2.23-second victory over Waelti. Scott Hatton finished third ahead of Mike Hess in fourth and Ray in fifth.
The finish:
Gary “Bubba” Altig, Brandon Waelti, Scott Hatton, Mike Hess, Davey Ray, Michael Pickens, Matt Smith, Nick Lundgreen, A.J. Fike, Joe Wipperfurth, Aaron Fiscus, Buddy Luebke, David Gough, Tim Noble, Rob Keelan, Kurt Mayhew, Dan Mecum, Steve Irwin, Jason Dull, David Budres, Chad DeSelle, Robbie Ray.
