Kent Arment takes the checkers in the Marilyn Olson Memorial.
What won the race: Winning a two-driver duel over the final six laps after race-long leader Ricky Weiss dropped from contention, Kent Arment of Aberdeen, S.D., overtook Marshall Fegers in the race's final moments for a 40-lap Wollak Construction WISSOTA Challenge Series victory at Casino Speedway. Arment, who started outside the front row, earned $2,071 for his 10th career series victory.
Quotable: "I got a good run off (turn) two and I got a slide job there, which is always exciting for the fans for sure, and ended up taking the win home," winner Kent Arment said. "It was a helluva race. We had a good time (at the) little bullring here in Watertown. It was pretty action-packed for sure."
Key notes: Kent Arment got his first series victory since Aug. 14, 2013, at his hometown Brown County Speedway. ... Ricky Weiss, who entered the race leading series points, dropped from the lead on lap 35 when he clipped an infield tire barrier and his car's nosepiece folded under; he ended up 15th. ... Marshall Fegers held the second spot most of the first half of the race before Kent Arment took the spot; Fegers regained second after the race's only caution on lap 29. ... Fegers went out front on lap 35 but Arment beat him to the checkers. ... Pat Doar won the third heat by two-hundredths of a second. ... The WISSOTA tour held its sixth event over a busy 10-day stretch. ... Casino hosted its lone series event.
