SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. — Three-time series champion Scott Hatton captured the 30-lap Badger Midget Series feature Sunday night at Angell Park Speedway. The victory was the third for Hatton this season and moved him into second place in series championship standings.
As the field was about to complete the first lap, series point leader Mike Hess flipped, ending his quest for a third-straight feature victory.
After Tim Noble took the early lead on the ensuing restart, Hatton moved into second and stayed there until taking the lead entering turn three on the 10th lap. But Noble fought back, retaking the lead on lap 16 before surrendering it back to Hatton two laps later. Gary “Bubba” Altig passed Noble for second on lap 22 and challenged Hatton as the two weaved through lapped traffic.
Hatton finished 1.03 second ahead of Altig. Australian Adam Clarke, who started in the last row, finished third with Noble and trophy-dash winner Chad DeSelle completing the top five.
The finish:
Scott Hatton, Bubba Altig, Adam Clarke, Tim Noble, Chad DeSelle, Robbie Ray, Aaron Fiscus, David Gough, Steve Irwin, Kurt Mayhew, Buddy Luebke, Jon LeJuene, Joe Wipperfurth, Byron Walters, David Budres, Brandon Waelti, Mike Hess.
