What won the race: Overcoming challenges from Troy Springborn on a late-race restart, pole-starting Taylor Scheffler of Waukesha, Wis., scored a flag-to-flag victory in Saturday's 25-lap Kings Classic at Shawano Speedway. Scheffler sped to the $2,000 victory by 0.257 of a second over Springborn to grab his first Wabam Dirt Kings Tour triumph of the season, fifth of his career and first since July 2, 2021, at Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis.

Key notes: While it's Scheffler's first touring series victory since 2021, it's his third overall win of the season: June 29 ($2,500) and July 20 ($1,500) local shows at Plymouth (Wis.) Dirt Track. ... Third-starting Springborn trailed Scheffler for all but one lap en route to a runner-up at his home track. ... Former series champ Justin Ritchie took advantage of the late-race restart and climbed to fourth. ... Six-time reigning champion Nick Anvelink ran as high as fourth before giving way to Ritchie in the late going and settling for fifth. ... Brett Swedberg finished sixth a night after topping Friday's $2,500 weekend opener at Langlade County Speedway in Antigo, Wis. ... Kurt Moeller appeared to draw the race's lone stoppage on lap 21 before pulling off. ... The race lasted 13 minutes, with 13 competitors completing 25 laps.

On the move: Justin Ritchie of New London, Wis., started eighth and finished fourth.
