Braun started his season on a high note by winning Sunday’s Miracle at the High Banks 100 season opener for the ASA Midwest Tour at the famous high-banked quarter-mile oval. “He didn’t have enough laps and I think lapped cars got in the way. On the restart, Braun and Nottestad put on a spirited side-by-side battle for the lead until Braun would get by Nottestad on lap 38. After the caution flew on lap 60 for Barrett Polhemus’s spin, Braun and Nottestad would renew their battle for the top spot, but this time with Apel joining them. Nottestad and Braun would trade the lead back and fourth for four laps, until Braun took back the lead for good on lap 65. He knew what he had to do with lap cars and certain positions on the track.
