Logan Schuchart Tames Pevely for $20,000 Ironman 55 Victory
PEVELY, MO – August 4, 2018 – Logan Schuchart passed Daryn Pittman on Lap 15 and never looked back to claim the 2018 Ironman 55 at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55, worth $20,000. The final 42 laps went non-stop as Schuchart negotiated lap traffic to claim his first World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series Feature of 2018. Kasey Kahne Racing teammates Brad Sweet and Daryn Pittman completed the podium.
Schuchart won the Sears Craftsman Dash, earning the pole for the 55-Lap Feature alongside Daryn Pittman. Pittman, who won at Pevely in April, got the jump on the initial start to lead the opening circuit.
Pittman reached lapped traffic by Lap 5 around the tight-quartered bullring with Schuchart close in tow. Schuchart pulled even with the 2013 Outlaw Champion on Lap 9, but couldn’t make the pass.
Pittman and Schuchart were side-by-side for the better part of the next four laps before the lone caution of the event flew with 13 complete for Aaron Reutzel.
Pittman maintained control on the restart, but Schuchart remained persistent and took command of the field on Lap 15 through turn two. Pittman tried to get back by the No.1S, but ended up losing second to his teammate Brad Sweet in the process.
Following Reutzel’s caution, the remaining 42 laps went non-stop as the Ironman 55 lived up to its name as the most grueling event on the World of Outlaws schedule.
Schuchart navigated lapped traffic like a veteran. As rubber began to set in around the I-55 Raceway in the closing laps, Schuchart made the decision to follow lapped traffic and force Sweet and Pittman to find a way around him.
“I tried to hold my line as the rubber set in and force someone to go around me,” Schuchart said in reference to the closing laps.
Sweet and Pittman closed in on Schuchart, but could do nothing but watch the Shark Racing No.1S capture his first win of the season. Both Sweet and Pittman were within a second of Schuchart at the checkered flag.
“Man, this is awesome. I feel like we have the best team we’ve ever had. This is Drydene Performance’s first Outlaw win and we can’t thank them enough for their support,” an exhausted, but elated, Schuchart said in Victory Lane.
“This is one of the big ones – Ironman 55. It’s tough, it wears you out. It’s awesome to get one of these wins and a big one at that,” Schuchart added.
Sweet settled for second but was pleased with his car speed. “I was biding my time, waiting to see if he was going to make a mistake and he never gave us a real good shot to get by him, he set a really good pace up top,” Sweet said before expressing his excitement to get to Knoxville for the Nationals.
Pittman led early and finished on the podium with his KKR teammate. “My car was getting better as the race went on, I’m a little frustrated with myself,” Pittman said. “I wasn’t quite quick enough on top on that restart and then I broke my momentum and Brad got by me. I’m really happy with our car right now, we’ll take third and go to Knoxville and try and improve there,” Pittman added in good spirits.
James McFadden came from 11th to finish fourth with Schuchart’s teammate Jacob Allen completing the top five. Brent Marks earned KSE Hard Charger honors surging from 22nd to ninth.
It was announced that tonight was the largest crowd in Ironman 55 history and the World of Outlaws will return once again to Pevely on August 2nd and 3rd of 2019. Next up for The Greatest Show on Dirt is a trip to the Sprint Car Capitol of the World for the biggest race of the year – the Knoxville Nationals, which will pay $150,000 to the winner. After Nationals, the Outlaws will begin a trek to the West Coast starting in North and South Dakota.

Terry McCarl Wins His Fifth Knoxville 360 Nationals
Bill Wright - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 4, 2018) - Terry McCarl re-passed Carson Macedo with two to go to win his fifth career Knoxville 360 Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway. The win was worth $15,000 to the Altoona, Iowa native aboard the TMAC Motorsports #24 "Franken-A.R.T." a combination of two 2013 A.R.T. chassis.
Joey Saldana took off from the pole to lead early over McCarl, Brian Brown, Greg Hodnett and Gio Scelzi. Carson Macedo, who got a bit of a slow start, entered the top five when he passed Scelzi on lap four. McCarl reeled in Saldana and passed him high in turn two to take the lead on lap five. With eight laps in the books, Brooke Tatnell contacted Jamie Ball, with the latter flipping hard in turn two. He was uninjured.
McCarl shot back in front when the green fell, ahead of Saldana, Brown, Hodnett, and Macedo. Macedo slid past Hodnett for fourth. Wayne Johnson, who was running tenth, slowed with a magneto issue, bringing caution on lap 11. That negated a Brown pass of Saldana for second. Macedo used the restart to get by Brown and take over third.
A red flag stopped things again when Scott Bogucki and Cole Duncan, who tipper over, tangled. Both were o.k. When the green flew again, Macedo slid by Saldana for the second spot and began reeling in the leader. Brown would get by Saldana for third with ten to go.
On lap 17, Macedo shot by McCarl to take the lead. Brown would follow him a lap later. The third place, McCarl, began searching the racetrack and found something on the low side. He reeled Brown back in and passed him for second with three to go. A lap later, he would shoot by the cushion riding Macedo to take the lead.
McCarl would prevail for the eighth time in his 360 career here over Macedo, Brown, Saldana and Thomas Kennedy. Hodnett, Gio Scelzi, Cory Eliason, Dominic Scelzi and Tim Kaeding rounded out the top ten. Sawyer Phillips was the D main winner, Jonathan Cornell took the C main, and Shane Golobic claimed the B. Crashes in both the C and B mains saw Tyler Blank and McKenna Haase take rides, but both were uninjured.
Macedo won a pair of awards. The highest finishing Rookie of the race also had his Jason Johnson Racing #41 voted as the "Best Appearing" car. Tatnell won a steering wheel from MPI for his hard-charger efforts (22nd to 11th).
"I used my tires up pretty hard there early racing with Joey," said McCarl in Victory Lane. "I was a little conservative and got loose there. Sometimes it's better to be leading and sometimes it isn't. When I dropped back to third, I had nothing to lose. It doesn't matter if you are third, fourth or fifth, you come to win. I was able to move around. The guys out front were kind of sitting ducks and couldn't move around like that. I found the bottom, and I was thinking, 'Please don't move down.' I have to thank Don Long and Jaymie Moyle. I'm so happy to win for them."
"My racecar was really fast," said Macedo. "I had a blast driving this car this weekend. I can't say enough about this whole family and this team. It's really cool. I initially got a little bit of a bad start, but I was able to get to the top and pick some guys off. Late in the race, I could really slide across, catch the cushion and drive off. When I got by Terry, I tried to get up there and stay as straight as I could. He found the bottom and was able to get by me."
"If they didn't like that race, I don't know what else we can do to put on a good show," said Brown. "I really thought once I got by Terry, I found the rubber a couple lanes down in three and four. Carson hadn't found it yet, and the next thing you know here comes Terry. He's a veteran here and he knows where to look. I was afraid to go to the bottom and lose my opportunity with Carson. My hat's off to my team."

Rico Abreu Wins Second Consecutive Ironman at I-55
PEVELY, MO – August 4, 2018 – Rico Abreu took the lead away from Kraig Kinser on Lap 21 and held off charges from Tim Shaffer and David Gravel to win his first World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series Feature of the 2018 season. Abreu survived two Gravel slide jobs in the closing laps and held off the Connecticut driver for his second consecutive Ironman 55 triumph for a $20,000 payday. Jacob Allen completed the podium.
Abreu won the Sears Craftsman Dash to earn the pole for the 55-Lap Feature, alongside Outlaw veteran Kraig Kinser. Kinser got the jump on the initial start and powered away in search of his first victory of the season.
Kinser reached lapped traffic on Lap 5 on the high-banked ¼ mile and negotiated it well, establishing an early lead.
Kinser turned under an Abreu slide job on Lap 17 to maintain the race lead. Abreu cleared Kinser to take the lead two laps later, but a caution for a slowing Joe B. Miller negated the pass and allowed Kinser to maintain the lead with 36 laps remaining.
The ensuing restart saw Kinser and Abreu exchange slide jobs for the lead with Kinser holding the lead on Lap 20, but Abreu wrestling it away the following circuit.
Brent Marks brought out the caution on Lap 27 with a flat right rear, setting up the first of many double-file restarts where Abreu would be in control. Each time, Abreu elected the bottom.
Tim Shaffer, who originally started 12th, charged from fourth on the restart to second and took a look under Abreu for the lead with a brilliant restart, but settled for second as Abreu powered away.
The action was halted for Hunter Schuerenburg, who got upside in turn two, on Lap 33. Schuerenburg was uninjured but was done for the event. Turn two proved treacherous for both Paul Nienhiser and Sheldon Haudenschild as well, as both drivers ended the evening on the hook after contact with the wall.
Haudenschild’s incident was on Lap 42, which set up a 13-lap dash to the finish for $20,000.
Abreu powered away on the restart in clean air but would need to navigate lapped traffic one more time to secure the victory.
With five laps remaining, Abreu approached heavy lapped traffic, allowing Gravel to close in. Gravel attempted slide jobs on Lap 50 and 51, but Abreu stayed in the gas and powered around the CJB Motorsports No.5 to maintain the lead. Abreu’s margin of victory was .655 seconds, as he claimed the Ironman 55 trophy for the second consecutive time.
“Man, that was a lot of fun. Hats off to my guys, that was the best I’ve felt in a long time. It’s all about working together and getting chemistry,” Abreu said in Victory Lane. “Back-to-back Ironman wins is awesome, but we’re not done yet, we’ve got another one tonight,” the St. Helena, CA native added with a smile.
Abreu applauded David Gravel for racing him clean at the end, “If the roles were reversed, it would be the same way."
Being so close to victory, Gravel was understandably disappointed to come up short. “I really thought I had him cleared and he got back by me. I’m a little mad at myself for not winning this, it sucks to finish second. But I am really happy for Drew [Warner] for him to get his first career Outlaw victory and for Rico,” Gravel added in good spirits. Drew Warner is the crew chief for Rico and is the son of Ricky Warner, the long-time wrench for Donny Schatz.
Jacob Allen continues to chip away in search of his first career Outlaw victory and came home with another podium finish. “This is a great race track and I think most drivers would agree it’s a lot of fun. Congrats to Rico and David, it was a good race for 55 laps,” Allen said in Victory Lane.
Allen’s Shark Racing teammate finished fourth with Tim Shaffer coming home fifth. Shaffer’s efforts were good enough to earn KSE Hard Charger honors.
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series returns to Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 tomorrow evening, Saturday, August 4, 2018, for another 55-Lap, $20,000 to win Feature. If you can’t make it to the track, watch all the action on DIRTVision.com!

Carson Macedo Takes Jason Johnson's No. 41 Back To Victory Lane At Knoxville Raceway
Bryan Hulbert - KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 3, 2018) There was not a fan left sitting on the closing lap of Friday's A-Feature at Knoxville Raceway as the Jason Johnson Racing No. 41 raced to victory on Night 2 of the 28th annual Knoxville 360 Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank with California's Carson Macedo behind the wheel.
Macedo's first career win at the famed half-mile oval, the win is also Carson's first with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com.
"There at the end, I was just counting down the laps but I'm just so happy for this team. For Bobbi and Jaxx. For Philip and all these guys," said Carson as he was joined by Jaxx Johnson on the top podium step.
"My car was awesome, just anywhere I went even if I slide across the middle, I could still make speed so we just have to build on it and hopefully stay this speed for tomorrow night."
Battling three wide on the opening lap, Cole Duncan won out over Carson Macedo and Wayne Johnson. Caution on Lap 3 for AJ Moeller, just as Macedo got the run for the lead, the restart saw Macedo slip back as seventh starting Joey Saldana grabbed the lead after restarting third.
Moving away from the field, Saldana enjoyed several car lengths as Macedo worked back to the runner-up spot on Lap 6.
Rolling up on slower traffic with the race nine laps complete, Saldana was met with a wall of slower cars. All but stopped entering the first and second turn the following lap, the Rudeen Racing No. 26 had to slide high, leaving the low line open as Carson Macedo took over the top spot.
Hitting the cushion after the pass, the Jason Johnson Racing No. 41 rolled away as Joey Saldana worked to hold onto second as slower traffic again brought the battle to his back bumper in the form of Terry McCarl. Nearly making contact in the final two laps trying to work the slide off the fourth turn, Saldana was able to keep pace over the Searsboro Telephone Co. No. 24.
With clean air and a deep cushion to run on, Carson Macedo raced to the win by 2.546 seconds.
"My car was so stable," stated Carson. "I could just run right over the cushion, turn off, and still be fast. I don't know how they do that, but they made my car really good, so I just had to do the job I was hired to do but I can't say enough for what an honor it is to drive this racecar. To be standing on the same stage Jason did; this wasn't the 410 Nationals, but man. Jason was a hell of a driver so to fill that seat is definitely an honor."
Joey Saldana held onto second, and with that, has earned the pole in Saturday's $15,000 to win A-Feature. Terry McCarl in third will start Saturday's championship event from the same position. Tim Kaeding grabbed fourth with Knoxville 360 Nationals Rookie, Giovanni Scelzi, completing the top five and earning the right of Saturday's front row.
Cole Duncan slipped back to finish sixth with Brooke Tatnell seventh after starting 11th. Harli White in eighth was trailed by Wayne Johnson with Johnny Herrera making the top-ten.
The 28th annual Knoxville 360 Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank concludes on Saturday, August 4 with Hot Laps getting underway at 6:45 P.M. (CDT). The 305cid Sprint Cars will join the card.

Three-time NASCAR Cup Champion Tony Stewart and two-time Chili Bowl Nationals Champion, Rico Abreu, are early 410 sprint car entries for the Thursday night, August 23 event. With NASCAR not racing that weekend, who knows who will show up? Could Kyle Larson return to the Hill looking for his third consecutive win?

Brought to you by Levan Machine & Truck Equipment, you'll find "Smoke on the Hill 2" with Tony Stewart and Rico Abreu in the field when the green flag falls for the fourth Annual Thunder Cup -- a 35 lap, $5,000 to win 410 sprint car special event. The 358 NASCAR Modifieds will be competing in a series of qualifying events leading up to the 30 lap, $3,000 to win feature event.

Stewart and Abreu join more than twelve full-time Arctic Cat All Stars competitors, but while the All Stars bring an elite group of drivers, a battalion of Central Pennsylvania's top stars are prepared to defend their home turf - and when the greatest Sprint Car drivers in the world do battle it is sure to be unpredictable, especially "on the hill".

JERSEY RUSH VIII
THE JERSEY RUSH VIII IS A NO GO FOR 2018, EVENT TO RETURN TO NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY IN 2019
NEW EGYPT, NJ (August 1, 2018) – For seven years, the Pioneer Pole Buildings Jersey Rush thrilled race fans with an exciting double header of 410 Sprints and Modifieds however, the forecast of threatening weather on Tuesday night, July 24 stopped the eighth running of the event. After scrambling to find a date that would accommodate race teams, tracks, and fans, the Jersey Rush promotional team announced today that the 2018 running of the event will not be rescheduled.
"We hoped to find an opening in the racing schedule that would make things easy for both the race teams and race fans," Co-Promoter Bob Miller stated. "With the amount of midweek shows it was difficult to find a date that didn't conflict with another event."
The Jersey Rush will return to New Egypt Speedway in 2019 and will carry the sponsorship of Pioneer Pole Buildings.
Jersey Rush is co-promoted by Lenny, Danny, and Davey Sammons and special event promoter Bob Miller.
We thank everyone for their past support of the Jersey Rush and we especially want to thank the many drivers that were pre-entered for the event. The show was sure to deliver one of the strongest roster of competitors in the history of the event. We’re looking forward to doing it again in 2019 at New Egypt.
