Kuhn slices through field for Prairie Victory

Sun Prairie,Wis., May 21 - Brad Kuhn drove a spectacular race winning the 50-lap Badger Midget Series Feature, Sunday Night at Angell Park Speedway. The win was his second straight in Badger competition and increased his series points lead.
Polesitter Davey Ray jumped into the lead at the start. Kuhn's car came to a stop on the second lap to avoid a slowing car, forcing him to restart in 18th position. By lap five Kuhn passed eight cars advancing to tenth position, while Ray held off the challenges of Danny Stratton for the lead. Stratton passed Ray for the lead on the ninth lap, while Kuhn moved into the top five on the same lap. 
Third place Chad DeSelle stalled on the 12th lap bringing out the yellow bunching up the field, with Kuhn in fourth position behind Stratton, Ray and Aaron Fiscus on the restart. Kuhn passed Fiscus on the restart and passed Ray one lap later moving into second position. Kuhn closed to within two-car lengths of Stratton by lap 20.
Stratton led Kuhn across the line on lap 23, but was passed by Kuhn entering turn one. Two laps later at the halfway point the pair were over six seconds ahead of the next position car, and began lapping the tail of the field. Stratton passed Kuhn going down the backstretch between lapped cars. Kuhn drew even entering turn three when the two cars made contact, with Stratton hitting the wall and flipping several times. Stratton escaped injury in the incident.
On the restart Kuhn easily pulled away and held a two-three second lead over the field for the remainder of the race. Kuhn driving the Kuhn Motorsports Stealth/Mopar finished 3.72 seconds ahead of Brand Waelti. After starting in 18th position Waelti passed Ray for the runner-up position on the final lap. Ray, Fiscus and Mike Hess completed the top five.
