zachwigalracing rebounded from a tough Friday night outing at circlecitydirt to lead all 25 laps en route to victory lane with the USAC Midwest Thunder SpeeD2 Midgets on Saturday night at Ohio’s Waynesfield Raceway Park.

Twenty-four hours earlier, Wigal experienced engine issues early on, then got tangled up with a tractor tire in his heat race, which necessitated front end swap.  In the feature, he was the victim of another driver’s spin that ultimately led to a DNF.

It was much smoother sailing on Saturday night for Wigal (Belpre, Ohio), as he fended off the racelong challenges posed by Cale Coons on an extremely smooth, tacky and fast 1/3-mile high-banked dirt oval.

Coons finished second ahead of series point leader Bryce Massingill who edged out Stratton Briggs (Anna, Ohio) at the finish line after starting eighth.  Tate Martz (Rushville, Ind.) finished fifth after an impressive run all night after capturing VMS Fast Qualifying honors and a heat race victory.

Massingill’s performance allowed him to maintain the Performance Electronics, Ltd. USAC Midwest Thunder SpeeD2 Midget championship point lead as Coons moved into second after Jakeb Boxell (Zanesville, Ind.) experienced mechanical issues in his heat race and had to tag the tail after moving to a backup car supplied by fellow driver Cody Dye.
