BEAVER DAM, Wis. — Brandon Waelti scored his second feature victory of the season, winning round three of the Duel at the Dam Badger Midget Series feature Saturday night at Charter Raceway Park.
Due to curfew regulations, the event’s final seven laps were not completed.
Chad DeSelle moved from outside of row two to take the lead on the opening lap followed by Brad Loyet, who improved two positions. The first seven laps of the race were slowed by four caution flags, including a five-car accident on lap seven involving series point-leader Mike Hess. On the restart, Dan Mecum flipped, but escaped injury.  
The turning point of the event came on lap 11 when Waelti moved into second position. One lap later, Waelti took the lead from DeSelle. Waelti maintained a three car-length advantage over Loyet when a multi-car spin occurred on lap 23, forcing the completion of the event due to curfew regulations.
Waelti finished ahead of Loyet. Matt Smith scored a career-best feature finish, coming home in third place. Aaron Fiscus and Hess, who recovered from the lap-seven accident, completed the top five.
The finish:
Brandon Waelti, Brad Loyet, Matt Smith, Aaron Fiscus, Mike Hess, Scott Hatton, Chad DeSelle, Robbie Ray, Tim Noble, David Gough, A.J. Fike, Joe Wipperfurth, Dakoda Armstrong, Davey Ray, Kris Hoegsted, Jason Dull, Bryon Walters, Buddy Luebke, Jake Slotten, Michael Pickens, Dan Mecum, Nick Lundgreen, Bobby East, Jim Fuerst, Zach Daum, Derrick Myers.
