SUN PRAIRIE, WI (August 23, 2026) — Paul Nienhiser and Drake Edwards emerged victorious during “Corn Fest” Sunday evening at Angell Park Speedway.
Nienhiser won the Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association portion of the event with a daring move in slower traffic to take the lead from Bryce Norris on lap 15, squeezing between Norris and a slower car on the top side of the speedway. Nienhiser drove away to a 2.239 second advantage at the finish over Jake Blackhurst, Jordan Goldesberry, Norris, and Logan Julien.
The victory was Nienhiser’s second of the weekend, backing up his feature win Friday at Jacksonville Speedway with the Midwest Open Wheel Association.
Edwards won the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association main event from fourth starting position by charging to the lead on the opening lap and never relinquishing it. Cash Lacombe, Adam Taylor from 10th starting position, R.J. Corson, and Derek Doerr rounded out the top five.
