SEYMOUR, Wis. — Troy Springborn was the polesitter for the WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour Salute to Service 30 at Outagamie Speedway Friday night.Â
Springborn won his heat race, earning a spot in the redraw. Drawing the pole position setup Springborn’s second WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour victory and was crowned King in BMRE Electrick Carts Co. Victory Lane for the second time this season.
Springborn and Joel Bennett led the field to the green flag, with Springborn remaining on the inside of the track and Bennett working the top side. Caution slowed the field on lap three for a spin in turn three.
On the restart, Springborn remained on the inside of the track and quickly pulled away from Bennett, Brett Swedberg, Lukas Postl and Nick Anvelink. Close to the halfway point, Springborn approached the tail end of the field and had to work his way through traffic, allowing Swedberg to close the gap.Â
As Springborn worked through the field, he closed in on a fierce battle for position between Ron Berna, Gunner Frank, Jayme Zidar and Turk Letizia. As Springborn was closing in on this battle, Swedberg was able to make up some of the gap between them. Springborn patiently worked through the traffic just as the yellow came out for a slow car on the backstretch.
On the restart, Springborn started to pull away of Swedberg and within ten laps, Springborn had pulled out to a full straightaway lead on Swedberg. Springborn held on to win his second WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour victory of his career and of the season.Â
Swedberg finished second, followed by Justin Ritchie, Bennett and Postl.
