HIBBING, Minn. (Sept. 3) — Polesitter Tom Waseleski Jr. of Pengilly, Minn., broke through for his first Dart Challenge Series victory on Saturday at Hibbing Raceway, earning a $3,500 victory in the Labor Day Shootout for WISSOTA Late Models.

Waseleski captured the finale on the series while Jake Redetzke's ninth-place finish was enough to wrap up his first series championship. | Slideshow
