Nick Anvelink picked up a $5,000 paycheck in Seymour, Wis.
What won the race: Regaining the lead from Tyler Bruening with an inside move on lap 29, pole-starting Nick Anvelink of Bonduel, Wis., led all but one lap to win Saturday's $5,000 Fall Brawl at Outagamie Speedway. Anvelink captured his third Wabam Dirt Kings Tour victory of the season - his first since June 24 at 141 (Wis.) Speedway - and the 25th of his career; it's his sixth career series triumph at Outagamie.
Quotable: “At the end there, it was just kinda get to the rubber,” Anvelink said. “I kept asking my brother there towards the end if (the track surface) was starting to rubber and I felt it right before one of the cautions. At the end, I was just trying to leave a little gap with the lapped traffic; somebody got turned sideways and I seen (Tyler) Bruening go by, but luckily we were able to get around him quick.”
Key notes: After dropping off the Lucas Oil tour, fourth-starting Bruening of Decorah, Iowa, led lap 28 as Anvelink was mired in heavy lapped traffic, before being overtaken by Anvelink on the ensuing lap and finishing 0.605 of a second back. … Fifth-starting Mitch McGrath moved into third on a lap-17 restart and completed the podium. ... The third and final caution flew on lap 16 when Mike Mullen and Jesse Glenz made contact while battling for second, sending Glenz spinning; Glenz opted not to continue, while Mullen was black-flagged for his on-track conduct and completed only two more circuits before pulling off. ... Eighth-starting Kyle Raddant and sixth-starting Ron Berna took advantage of the lap-16 tangle, moving into fourth and fifth on the ensuing restart and completing the top five. ... Saturday's 20-minute feature saw 15 competitors complete 30 laps and 17 running at the finish. ... Only two races remain on the Dirt Kings Tour schedule.
On the move: Troy Springborn of Shawano, Wis., started 13th and finished eighth.
