Donnellson, Iowa (June 3rd) – Two Burlington area drivers, and long-time Sprint Invader regulars, Cody Wehrle and Josh Schneiderman waged a torrid battle for the lead through most of Friday night’s twenty-five lap main event before Schneiderman pulled way for the victory here at the Lee County Speedway. The event would be the second completed in 2022 for the 360 Winged Sprint Car series that has been entertaining race fans since 2002 and the nice crowd on hand saw plenty of action on this night.
Starting
from the pole position in the twenty-one-car field, Schneiderman would use the
bottom line around the 3/8th-mile D-Shaped facility to hold the
early lead only to have Wehrle, who had started second, sweep around him on lap
four. Schneiderman would stay close though while two-time series champion Chris
Martin closed in looking to make it a three-car battle for the lead. While the
lead trio kept most of the crowds’ attention, two drivers were making big runs
up through the field as well.

The
lead duo had other ideas though as when the green flag waved again the track
quickly took rubber and the speeds picked up with still two or three lines to
choose from. Schneiderman would pull even with Wehrle on lap twelve and the
leaders looked like slot cars racing around the smooth black surface just
inches apart for nearly two full laps.
Josh
would take the lead for good with ten laps remaining and after he put a couple
of lapped cars between himself and Wehrle, that would close the deal for Schneiderman’s
first win of 2022. Cody would chase him home in second, Randall maintains the
early season point lead with his third-place run while Terry McCarl finished
fourth.Barry Johnson photo
