Sun Prairie, Wis. (June 18, 1988) – Kevin Olson outdistanced Dan Boorse to win the 50-lap USAC National Midget Series/Badger Midget Auto Racing Association feature Saturday night at Angell Park Speedway.
Boorse charged out front from his pole position and quickly opened up a lead over Mel Kenyon while Olson started his charge to the front from his tenth starting position.
On lap 6, Steve Knepper spun, bringing out the yellow flag. One lap after the restart, Hans Lein flipped, suffering a bruised wrist in the mishap.
When the green flag returned again, Olson began to chase down Boorse. On the 10th lap, Olson managed to squeeze into the lead ahead of Boorse, but before the lap was completed, the yellow flew again, reverting the lead back to Boorse.
Olson was able to move around Boorse when the green flag waved again and wouldn’t relinquish it this time. Boorse held off a late charge from Kevin Koch to garner second with Koch third, Kevin Doty fourth and Joe Corrigan fifth.
