WILMOT, Wis. — Adam Taylor was victorious Saturday night at the Kenosha County Fairgrounds and Wilmot Raceway after a stellar performance.
Taylor returned to victory lane for the second time this season after winning the season opener at Kankakee (Ill.) Speedway early in the season.
Twenty-nine drivers were on hand as the Advanced Fastening Supply Badger Midgets returned to Wilmot Raceway for the first of two shoes at the Kenosha County Fairgrounds this season. Drivers from four different states would line the pits hoping to put their name on the winner’s sheet.
The night started off with the FiveOne Motorsports Fast Time Award being dished out to Derek Doerr. His 15.674 was good enough for the pole followed by Kyle Stark at a 15.725, and the rookie Parker Jones with a 15.790.
Auto Meter Heat 1 was first on track and was won by the No. 19E of Daltyn England, with Parker Jones and R.J. Corson behind him. Simpson Race Products and VMS Rod Ends Heat 2 saw Stark pick up the win and Mike Stroik second with Harrison Kleven third. The final heat race of the night, sponsored by Behlings Race Products put Matt Rechek on top with Todd Kluever and Jace Sparks second and third.
The High-Performance Lubricants B-Main allowed seven drivers to lock into the evenings A-Main and saw Doerr and Kyle Koch on the front row. Doerr ran away from the field and won the B-Main with Mark McMahill, Greg Ross, Kevin Douglas, Koch, Eric Blumer, and Miles Doherty all stamping their tickets to the A-Main.
The AFS Badger Midget Series feature rounded out the night for the midgets and it would see Taylor on the pole in the No. 6B with the No. 10A of Tommy Colburn alongside him.
Taylor took the green flag and started to run away from the pact as Colburn fell down the order. An incident in turn four claimed Dave Collins Jr. and Doerr midway in the race.
Two more quick yellow flags saw Charles Rufi claimed as he was forced to the infield. With Taylor, the leader, England was left to chase him down. England got to the back bumper a handful of times, even giving Taylor the chrome horn a few times but to no avail as Taylor soared to his second feature win of the season.
England, Kluever, Stark, and Jace Sparks rounded out the top five.
