What won the race: Leading all the way, series points leader Pat Doar of New Richmond, Wis., dominated the opening feature at Gondik Law Speedway’s Twin Ports Twin 25s event for a $2,000 victory on the Structural Buildings WISSOTA Challenge Series. The polesitting Doar notched his fifth series victory of 2023 and tour-leading 41st of his career in beating runner-up Jake Redetzke by 0.665 of a second.

Quotable: “We changed to something that I haven’t changed in a while and we held ‘em off, so I’m happy,” Doar said.
