What won the race: Third-starting Nick Anvelink of Bonduel, wis., earned a $5,000 victory in the King of the Fair event at The Hill Raceway sanctioned on the Wabam Dirt Kings Tour. Anvelink crossed the finish line 3.520 seconds ahead of runner-up Jesse Glenz for his second Dirt Kings victory of the season and 32nd of his career, further extending his lead on the tour's all-time list.
Quotable: "Especially when it pays five grand, they’re always special. It’s hard to get through a summer, you gotta get a couple of these, they really help out," Anvelink said. "We had a good car … it was a totally crap car to start the night and, man, we just overhauled this thing all night. I’m happy with it."

Brett Swedberg, winner of Friday's $1,500 weekend opener at nearby Outagamie Speedway in Seymour, Wis., finished seventh. ... Kurt Moeller and Turk Letizia each improved five positions to finish eighth and ninth, respectively. ... The race was delayed slightly for fence repair during a caution with ten laps remaining. ...
