Nick is King!
Seymour, WI - Nick Anvelink returned to the Mueller's Sales and Service Victory Lane in the second round of the Seubert Summer Series Triple Crown DiscountShopTowels.com Dirt Kings Late Model Tour race at Outagamie Speedway powered by EWSC Racing. Anvelink started the 30-lap race from seventh position and had to work his way through the field, while Taylor Scheffler and Justin Reed led the field to the green flag. Reed was on the outside of Scheffler and the two raced side by side for the lead. Reed took the top spot and they started to pull away from the field. Meanwhile, Anvelink worked his way to fifth place by lap three. The leaders started to encounter the tail end of the field on lap nine. With three wide traffic in front of them, Reed was navigating through the field, with just twelve cars on the lead lap when the caution came out with just ten laps remaining.
Caution slowed the field as Zack Kessler’s car came to a halt in turn two. On the restart, the fifth place car of Brad Mueller brushed the wall on the front stretch, keeping the race under caution. As the field took the green flag with just ten laps remaining, Reed was the leader, followed by Scheffler, Anvelink and Brett Swedberg. Anvelink rolled to the inside of Reed in turn one and battled for the lead into turn three, with Anvelink ascending to the top spot. Swedberg followed suit, advancing to second place and battled with Anvelink for the lead. Swedberg drove to the inside of Anvelink going into turn one and held even with Anvelink through the backstretch but could not pull ahead and Swedberg tucked behind Anvelink for the final five laps.
Coming to the checkered flag, Swedberg got nose under Anvelink and the two made contact as they crossed the finish line with Anvelink claiming his eleventh DiscountShopTowels.com Dirt Kings Late Model Tour win, his third this season. Swedberg settled for the runner-up finish, his sixth second place finish. Troy Springborn finished third, followed by Ron Berna and Reed.
Justin Ritchie earned the Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie of the Race award with his ninth place finish, while Kyle Raddant finished thirteenth.
