What won the race: Stealing the point from race-long leader Sammy Mars after a lap-25 restart, Cole Searing of Huron, S.D., made it 2-for-2 on the Structural Buildings WISSOTA Challenge Series with a $3,000 victory Saturday at Viking Speedway. Searing, the previous night's series winner at I-94 EMR Speedway in Fergus Falls, Minn., when he repelled a late-race challenge from Mars, notched his fourth career series victory in taking the checkers a half-second ahead of Tyler Peterson in the 30-lapper. Mars settled for third.
Key notes: Runner-up Tyler Peterson briefly crossed Searing over to edge out front, but Searing quickly went back ahead. ... Mars, who briefly regained the lead on a lap-28 restart before a yellow flag reset the field, was gunning for his first WISSOTA Challenge victory (his father Jimmy was a 14-time winner on the series). ... Mars said tire wear cost him late. ... Rookie Kollin Hibdon started 13th and finished fifth. ... The race was slowed by five cautions, four in the final six laps as Searing held on in late restarts. ... A lap-29 caution dropped when Shane Sabraski went over the turn-two banking, one lap after a yellow appeared for Dave Flynn's turn-one spin. ... Jake Redetzke departed on a lap-27 caution. ... A 25th-lap yellow fell for a slowing Todd Frank. ... The first caution appeared came on the second lap when Dave Mass went over the banking and retired. ... Josh Zimpel scratched from the feature lineup. ... Viking hosted the series for the first time since Don Shaw's May 27, 2018, victory. ... The series has run 318 series events. ... The tour's season-opening weekend concludes Sunday at Granite City Motor Park.
On the move: Pat Doar of New Richmond, Wis., started 19th and finished sixth.
