(starsnationaltour.com) Dalton Zehr celebrates after driving his No. 119 Toyota to victory in the ASA Midwest Tour’s Norway 100 at Norway Speedway on Saturday.

NORWAY — Dalton Zehr relied on his 10-plus years of experience at Norway Speedway to have a memorable night as the ASA Midwest Tour returned for the Norway 100 presented by Weimar Bearing and Transmission.

Zehr, formerly of Menominee, earned his sixth victory at a track that has helped evolve his racing career by driving away from Casey Johnson for the victory.

“We only went for a championship once, but we were always here for specials and everything else,” Zehr said after the race. “So I’ve got almost 100 races here, so I have home-turf experience, and fortunately, when I first came here, it was with Gene Coleman and they already had 20 years of experience with the tracks. So I got in a car that was already good. And then we made it a little better since, but just through cars progressing. And now, you know, it’s like, I know exactly what I need here. I know what the car needs to do, and that’s 90% of it.”

The driver from Port Orange, Florida, started 10th in the 100-lap event. He was already up to fifth by lap 16 and got into the fourth position by lap 22. Zehr started to chase down Johnson for the third spot while Andy Monday and Levon Van Der Geest were trading the lead back and forth up front.

The race itself had a new look after the caution flew on lap 48 for an incident that involved Joe Valento, Justin Mondeik, Penn Sauter, and Scott Stanchina.

As the field chose their lanes for the restart, both Van Der Geest and Monday went to the inside, allowing Johnson and Zehr to take the outside lane.

Van Der Geest got the lead, but Johnson was not letting him get away. Johnson would get by Van Der Geest for the lead on lap 56, but that only lasted for three laps as Zehr got by him to take the lead and drive away to the victory.

“Had I known it was the 119, it would have been a lot harder battle, you know, but then I didn’t have any laps up high side, and I drove her off the track on the front stretch,” Johnson said. “So I made a mistake there and kind of gave it to him pretty easy. But no, overall it was a great day out here, and this is a really cool place.”

Van Der Geest, who won here earlier this season, was hoping for another victory.

“We came a couple of weeks ago for a local for like a weekly race, but not a lot of experience here, so honestly, I’m happy with the run,” Van Der Geest said. “We started up front, and I wish we could have stayed up there, but, you know, Casey Johnson and Zehr, they both had really good cars, so we’ll just have to, you know, regroup and see if we can give it another shot at the next one.”

Monday would finish fifth, while two-time defending series champion Gabe Sommers finished fifth.

Zehr started his night by setting a new track record in qualifying.
