What won the race: Powering around race-long leader Mitch McGrath on a lap-17 restart, second-starting Nick Anvelink of Bonduel, Wis., led the rest of the way in Saturday's 30-lap Wabam Dirt Kings Tour portion of the Wisconsin Triple Crown at Beaver Dam Raceway. Anvelink, the six-time and reigning series champion, earned $2,000 for his first Dirt Kings feature victory of the season and the 27th of his career, further extending his advantage on the tour's all-time wins list.

Quotable: “I knew that (lap-17 restart) was probably my only chance,” Anvelink said. “Those guys were killing me on the restarts. With our WISSOTA motor here, I was losing about a car length-and-a-half and I kinda just hail-mary’d that last corner and I’m like, 'This is my only chance to really makeup any time on these guys,’ so I shoved her in there.”
