The Dirt Kings Late Model Tour has been off to a busy start with four races in its first month of existence. This past week the newly formed series made two stops – one at Shawano (WI) Speedway on Saturday night and a second on Tuesday at 141 Speedway in Francis Creek, WI.
The story line for both events had the same ending with current point leader Nick Anvelink finding Victory Lane. However, the plot to get there was much different at 141 than it was at Shawano.
At his home track Anvelink cruised to the win from the pole position. His biggest threat came late in the race when Brett Swedberg made up some ground in lapped traffic and approached Anvelink on the final circuit of the 25-lap affair.
On Tuesday at 141 the roles were reversed as Anvelink challenged Swedberg late in the going. It looked as though Swedberg was set up to cruise to a the win as he mastered the high groove. Anvelink looked to be a non-factor as he dropped out of the Top Five early in the race. A final restart allowed Anvelink to steal Second from Mike Mullen and eventually complete the pass on Swedberg for the win as the low groove came to life.
