Schulz Wards Off Shilling For
Sprint Invaders Win At The Cedar County Fair
(Jeff B)
Tipton IA, July 10, 2015 – Inheriting the lead after misfortune struck Jamie
Ball on lap nine, John Schulz of West Burlington then held off the persistent
challenges of current point leader Tony Shilling to take the $1,500
Shottenkirk.com Sprint Invaders victory at the Cedar County Fair in Tipton
Friday night.
Schulz
started the 25-lap event from the pole position, but it was his front row mate
Jamie Ball who raced out to the early advantage dominating the first portion of
the race. As the leader was working traffic on lap nine though, the left rear
wheel broke off of the car of Tim Moore sending him for a spin right in front
of the leader. With no place to go Ball made heavy contact with Moore and the
the lapped car of Derek Anderson joined the fray tipping over onto his side to
bring out the red flag.
Schulz
would soon lead the field back to green with Shilling in hot pursuit when on
lap 18 Schulz had his own scare when Blaine Jamison spun directly in front of
him turn four with the leader narrowly escaping contact. Shilling made a bid to
the inside of Schulz on the restart but his challenge was interrupted by two
more cautions for spins, the last one leaving him with just three laps around
the quarter-mile to make his move.
As the
white flag waved Shilling had a run and threw the slider on Schulz going into
turn one, but the veteran driver countered with a pretty crossover move to
regain the lead in two and he then protected the bottom in the final two turns
to earn the win. Shilling just missed on a clean sweep after winning both his
heat at the Randall’s Performance Shake Up Dash, Harold Pohren finished in the
third position followed by Jarrod Schneiderman and Jon Agan.
“I could
hear him coming and I knew that he would make a run at me on the final lap,”
said the happy winner in victory lane, “but I already had my move planned to
get it back.” Schulz then noted that he won a track championship here in Tipton
about twenty years ago “in believe it or not a Hobby Stock, so I guess that
dates me a bit”. The winning car #99 is owned by Jimmy Davies and is sponsored
by Global Industries, Automotive Machine and Fangman & Sons.
The next
event for the Shottenkirk.com Sprint Invaders will be next Friday July 17th
at the Davis County Fair in Bloomfield.
