Here is the story from the last Badger Midget race at Farley, Iowa in 2004 -

Hatton Passes Field To Win Badger Farley Race

By Bryan Gapinski

Farley, Iowa, August 21--Series point leader Scott Hatton scored a
dominating victory, Saturday Night capturing the 25-lap Badger Midget Series
feature at Farley Speedway. The event marked the first ever appearance for
the series at the facility. Hatton who suffered an oil line problem in his
qualifying heat was forced to start in the back row of the feature.

On the opening lap Adam Clarke flipped escaping injury while battling for
the lead. With a complete restart, Randy Koch led the opening lap over Brad
Kuhn who started in ninth, and passed seven cars in the opening lap. Kuhn
passed Koch on the second lap for the lead. Hatton passed nine cars on the
opening lap, and four more on the second lap and was fifth when the caution
appeared for a stalled car on the second circuit.

Kuhn pulled away from the field on the restart, while Hatton moved into
third. The event was slowed twice during the next five laps for a stalled
car, and debris on the track. Hatton moved into second on the ninth lap, one
lap later the Ric Forbes, Koch, and Boyd Calvert running third through fifth
tangled.

On the restart Kuhn, and Hatton pulled away from the field. As the leaders
crossed the finish line on lap 13, Kuhn's motor began to mis-fire. Hatton
pulled away from the field, while Kuhn stalled on the the track three laps
later.

Hatton pulled away from the field on the restart, and began lapping the
tail of the field with five laps remaining. Hatton driving the Huston
Solution Racing Stealth/Mopar finished 7.31 seconds ahead of Forbes,
followed by Australian drivers Nathan Smee, and Steven Graham, with Koch
recovering from the early race spin to finish fifth.

“Farley victory gives Mayhew two straight Badger Midget wins”

By Bryan Gapinski
Farley, Iowa., September 2 ---Kurt Mayhew won the 25-lap Mid-State Equipment/Zimbrick Chevrolet of Sun Prairie Badger Midget Racing Series feature, Friday Night at Farley Speedway. The event, was part of the multi-day 39th annual “Yankee Dirt Track Classic”, and the first at the track for Badger since August 21, 2004.

At the start of the event Mayhew passed five cars from his sixth place starting position to lead the field off Turn 2 on the opening lap. A three-car accident on the fifth lap erased Mayhew’s two-second advantage.

Mayhew continued to lead with an intense four-car battle for second place behind the leader. Robbie Ray closed to within a car length of Mayhew with ten laps complete. One lap later Ray assumed the top position. Ray slowed while leading with a flat tire on Lap 17. At the same moment during the caution, the fourth and fifth place cars of Brandon Waelti and Aaron Schuck stopped in the work area to replace flat right rear tires. Waelti, Schuck, and Ray rejoined the tail of the field with new tires.

Mayhew again led on the restart over Derek Childs and Ken Hanson. Childs slowed with a flat tire with five laps remaining bunching up the field. Mayhew led Hanson on the restart followed by the trio of Ray, Waelti and Schuck all who pitted for new right rear tires three laps earlier.

Mayhew maintained a steady pace with positions behind him changing several times before Ray took over second place, with two laps remaining. Mayhew driving his No. 21k DRC/Honda finished a one car length ahead of Ray. Schuck, Waelti, and Hanson completed the top five.

”I was hanging on the final few laps hoping my tires would hold out, there was a major vibration but we made it to the finish line” commented Mayhew after his second straight series victory in five days.

Next for Badger will be the Angell Park Speedway season finale on Sunday Night Sept. 4. The “Kevin Doty Classic” will also feature the Speedway Motors POWRi North Outlaw Micro/ Badger 600 Micro Series presented by My Race Pass co-sanctioned event, and the Meyer Valves & Vacs Wisconsin Wingeless Sprint Series.
