Sun Prairie, WI, July 19---Sun Prairie’s Brandon Waelti scored a popular hometown victory winning the “2nd annual Norm Nelson Classic” 20-lap Zimbrick Chevrolet of Sun Prairie/Mid-State Equipment Badger Midget Series feature, Sunday Night at Angell Park Speedway.
Waelti took the lead on the third circuit, after Mark Heinert and Jeff Zelinski each led one lap. Series points leader Billy Balog moved into second place one lap later. Balog took the lead on Lap 8 taking advantage of a lapped car, two laps later Balog slowed with mechanical problems,bringing out the caution and returning from the event. Waelti and David Budres then pulled away from the field. The lead duo spent the final six laps in heavy lapped traffic, with Waelti maintaining his advantage.
Waelti driving the Harlan Kittleson owned Stealth/Duratech No.15 finished 1.1 seconds ahead of Budres, Aaron Schuck, Mike Stroik, and Heinert. “The Duratech engine ran great tonight, it’s always nice to win memorial races, that remember great Angell Park drivers” commented Waelti who scored his eight career midget feature victory at the track and first in three years.
