Beaver Dam, Wis., May 6 - Brad Kuhn turned in a
record setting performance, capturing the 25-lap Badger Midget Series Feature,
Saturday Night at The Raceway at Powercom Park. Kuhn's victory moved him into
the series point lead. Kuhn also set a 25-lap track record with his victory.
Chad DeSelle paced the opening lap before Davey Ray moved into the lead closely
followed by Ryan Durst. Durst challenged Ray for the lead several times in the
first five laps. Kuhn who started tenth in the event moved into the fifth place
on the eighth lap.
Kuhn's big move came on the 11th lap when he pulled off a two-car pass on Durst
and Mike Hess to move into second place. Kuhn quickly cut into Ray's lead. The
pair exchanged slide jobs for the lead twice on lap 14 before Kuhn moved into
the lead one lap later exiting turn two.
Kuhn began increasing his lead each lap over Ray, as a great four-car battle for
runner-up honors took place behind Kuhn. Hess moved into second place with less
than two laps remaining. Kuhn driving the Kuhn Motorsports Stealth/Mopar
finished 1.37 seconds ahead of Hess at the finish. Durst, Ray and Missouri's
Brad Loyet completed the top five. All 22 starting cars finished the entire
distance on the lead lap.
The series will continue on Sunday May 21 with a 50-lap event at Angell Park
Speedway (Sun Prairie, Wis.).
