SUN PRAIRIE,WI May 27----Davey Ray edged Dan Boorse by one car length to win the thrilling Badger Midget Series Season Opener, Sunday Night at Angell Park Speedway. The first was the first ever feature win for Ray, and for a Mopar powered midget.
The feature got off to a rocky start with a three car tangle on the opening lap, resulting in Kevin Olson flipping. Olson escaped injury. Aaron Fiscus jumped into the lead, while Ray quickly moved from his eighth place starting position and into the leadon the second lap.
Ray ran comfortably in the lead as three different drivers occupied second position before Boorse took over the spot on the 22nd lap. Kevin Eggert stalled on the 32nd lap bunching up the field. The final eighteen laps saw Boorse run on Ray's bumper as the pair easily pulled away from the field and staged a great wheel to wheel battle. Ray held off Boorse's last lap charge to score a .14 second victory driving the Harlan Kittleson Beast-
Mopar#2. Following Ray, and Boorse were: Matt Westfall, Chad DeSelle, and Mike Hess.
Five drivers escaped injury in separate preliminary race flips, including 2000 series champion Scott Hatton. Rob Keelan established a new eight lap track record in winning the C-Main, besting Billy Johnson's 50 year old track record.
The series visits the Hales Corners Speedway(Franklin, WI) on Friday Night June 1 for the running of the fourth annual Milwaukee Cup Midget Classic, before returning to Angell Park on Sunday June 3 for a regular program.
