SUN PRAIRIE, WI August 20----Scott Hatton, won the 25-lap Badger Midget Auto Racing Association feature Sunday Night at the Angell Park Speedway. The win gave Hatton the series point lead, with three events remaining.
Kevin Olson jumped into the lead at the start of the event, closely followed by Hatton, and Brandon Waelti. Hatton took the lead from Olson on the fifth lap after a restart for a stalled car. One lap later Waelti moved into second, closely followed by Chad DeSelle, and fast qualifier Jerry Coons. The four pulle away from the field, with Hatton leading each lap, but the four remained no more than four length separated, as they began to lap the tail of the field, at the midway point.
Hatton continued to receive pressure, and ran a steady line, working through lapped traffic, and held off Coons by two car lengths for the victory. DeSelle, Waelti, and Olson rounded out the top five positions. Kevin Doty, and Dan Boorse entered the event tied for the series point lead, Doty finished eighth, while Boorse finished ninth, starting last in the Jim Fiscus entry, after suffering engine problems earlier in the evening.
Hatton holds a 13 point lead over Doty, with Boorse third an additional eleven points behind, while Olson in fourth trails by 34 points, with the next event August 27 at Angell Park Speedway.
