Mike is King!

Sun Prairie, WI - Mike Mullen was crowned King of the WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour King of the Park at Angell Park Speedway in BMRE Electrick Carts Co Victory Lane. Mullen was the Champ Pans Fast Qualifier earlier in the night with a 14.796 second lap and by winning his heat race gave him a shot at the Ken's Sport Inc Pole Sitter award, when he re-drew the top starting spot. Mullen and Brad Mueller led the field to the green flag, with Mullen taking the lead from the start. Brett Swedberg battled with Mueller for second, eventually taking the position for good on lap four.

The only caution of the night came on lap six, erasing Mullen's advantage over Swedberg. On the restart, Mullen maintained his lead with Swedberg, Mueller, Mitch McGrath and Nick Anvelink rounding out the top five.

Mullen continued to pace the field and pulled ahead to a 1.685 second lead over Swedberg at the halfway point. As the leaders approached the tail end of the field, Swedberg was able to close the gap to .476 seconds with ten laps remaining.

Mullen tried to extend his lead, while Swedberg continued to close the gap between himself and the leader, with just five laps to go. Mullen went on to win his sixth WABAM Dirt Kings Late Model Tour race of his career and his second win of the 2024 season.

Swedberg was second followed by McGrath, Anvelink and Sunoco Race Fuels Rookie Chris Oertel.
