Brad Sweet Battles Logan Schuchart for Ocean Speedway Win

Shark Racing teammates Schuchart and Allen claim second and third place finishes

WATSONVILLE, Calif. — April 1, 2016 — Logan Schuchart looked poised to claim his first ever World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series victory Friday night at the Ocean Outlaw Showdown at Ocean Speedway, but a late race restart put Brad Sweet in position and Sweet battled past Schuchart with 13 laps to go and claimed his fourth win of the season.

“If everyone knew what Shark Racing goes through to run two cars up and down the road, hats off to them,” Sweet said. “For both of them to be up here on the podium that’s amazing and I hate to steal this win away from them, but that’s racing.

“My guys have given me a great car all season long. When you run in the top five each week, you get a couple of these wins every now and then.”

For Schuchart, the disappointment of coming short of his first win was tempered by his second place finish and the third place finish of his teammate, Jacob Allen.

“When we started this thing three years ago, most of these guys didn’t think we wouldn’t last the first year,” Schuchart said. “Now we’re out here in our third year. Without our sponsors and everyone that helps us out, we wouldn’t be able to be out here.

“For Jacob and I we wanted to be a little bit better, a one-two would’ve been awesome, but Brad [Sweet] is on top of his game and they’re really fast right now, but the Shark team is getting better and better.”

The finish is his best since a second place finish at Thunderbowl Raceway in 2014.

Jason Johnson, fresh off a victory at Placerville Speedway, kicked off the night, the Outlaws’ first appearance at the track since 2008, with the qualifying quick time.

But it was Schuchart and Allen out front after the Dash inversion draw gave the teammates the top-two starting positions in the Dash.

Allen, in the Mark Pell Tire Service/Marty Thompson Investments No. 1A, jumped around his teammate and grabbed the early lead in the Dash, as he dominated all six laps to capture the first-place starting position for the 35-lap feature. Schuchart finished in second, setting up a Shark Racing front row.

When the green flag fell on the feature, Schuchart shot around Allen for the lead on the opening lap, and pulled away from the rest of the field as his teammate settled into the second position with Kasey Kahne Racing with Mike Curb teammates Daryn Pittman and Brad Sweet lurking behind.

The young, Hanover, Pa. –native controlled the top spot for much of the race, leading the opening 21 laps. Unfortunately for Schuchart, winning his first ever World of Outlaws race would not be that easy.

A restart just past the halfway point gave Sweet the opportunity he needed to gain on Schuchart. Sweet drove his Razorback Professional Tools No. 49 from fourth on the restart around Pittman and Allen to move into the second position, just behind the leader.

Schuchart did everything he could to hold off Sweet, but Sweet had too much momentum built up on the high-side of the track and rocketed around Schuchart for the lead with 13 laps left.

Sweet controlled the top spot through the final laps and held off Schuchart and Allen to capture his first victory since he won at Cotton Bowl Speedway on Feb. 26.

“That’s racing in California in March and April,” said the Grass Valley, Calif. –native Sweet. “It’s always going to be a little more hooked up than in July or August. They gave us a great racing surface tonight, it was smooth and opening up all night, but it’s hard to account for the cooler temperatures, it keeps the moisture in the dirt.”

Sweet extends his championship lead to 84 points over second place Shane Stewart.

Allen completed the sweep of the podium for the Shark Racing team, as he scored a career best finish of third.

“With the lead that close to you, I was just going for it all and hoping to finish the race,” Allen said. “That was a lot of fun. Being up there with everybody, it means the world to me and I can’t thank everyone enough for helping us out.

“This is a huge night for me, I am just very blessed and thankful to be here.”

Donny Schatz was the night’s KSE Racing Hard Charger, advancing 12 positions to finish in sixth.

Johnson Returns to Victory Lane at Placerville Speedway

Captures win one year after serious accident at same event

PLACERVILLE, Calif. — March 23, 2016... — After being involved in a horrible accident during this event last year that sidelined him for the season, Jason Johnson returned to Placerville Speedway for the 2nd Annual Brad Sweet presents the Placerville Short Track Outlaw Showdown presented by Riebes Auto Parts and captured his first victory since Texas Motor Speedway in 2003.

Daryn Pittman, who was also injured in the same event last year, finished second to Johnson, as both drivers overcame their troubles from a year ago for podium finishes.

“We have a tremendously strong team right now, and things are clicking, and when they are clicking it is fun,” Johnson said. “Daryn [Pittman] and I were standing there in the dash and I was like ‘man I would be happy just walking out of here tonight’ and then we finish one and two.

“This was a place I really wanted to redeem myself. It’s really cool we are able to come to a small track like this and be able to race and I really got to thank Brad Sweet and thank all the fans for coming out, it’s been a great night.”

Johnson, a Eunice, La. –native, showed speed early in the night, clocking in with the second fastest time, just behind quick-time recipient Sean Becker, who is a native of Chico, Calif.

Johnson then piloted his Priority Aviation/Masilla Valley Transportation No. 41 to a victory in his heat, defeating Auburn, Calif. driver Andy Forsberg, which qualified him for the dash.

Coming short of sweeping all the races during the night, Johnson finished fourth in the dash, as Pittman, in the Great Clips/Sage Fruit No. 9, captured the victory in the 8-lap race after he overtook Forsberg on the opening lap.

Pittman, starting in the first position, lost the top spot once the green flag fell, to second place starter Forsberg, who regained the position Pittman took from him in the dash on the opening lap.

Johnson charged from his fourth starting position early, quickly making his way to the second position just behind Forsberg, after he passed Pittman on lap four.

Johnson reeled in Forsberg and started battling with the driver of the PitStopUSA/Autism Awareness No. 7C. The back-and-forth duel for the top position lasted 10 laps, with Johnson finally overtaking Forsberg on lap 14.

As the leaders hit slower lapped traffic, Johnson padded his lead on the rest of the field, but a caution near the halfway point brought both Forsberg and Pittman to his rear bumper.

On the ensuing restart, Johnson pulled away again as Forsberg lost a position to both Pittman and race promoter Sweet, who cracked the top three for the first time all night.

Sweet’s time in the top three was short lived as another local California driver, Kyle Hirst from Paradise, Calif., rocketed from his 10th starting position to the top three with less than 15 laps remaining.

Much like Sweet, Hirst’s time in the top three was short lived as he blew a tire causing a late race restart with only five laps remaining.

Unfortunately, the caution for Hirst was not the final caution of the night.

Just before the leaders took the white flag, Joey Saldana brought out the final caution, setting up a green-white-checkered finish between Johnson, Pittman and Sweet, who had reclaimed his podium position.

On the final restart, Sweet slipped off the track allowing Forsberg around him for the third position.

At the front, Pittman could not muscle his way around Johnson, who proved to be too fast for the rest of the field as he dominated the majority of the race, leading 26 laps en route to claiming the victory at Placerville.

“I had no clue [how fast we were],” Johnson said. “But I knew if we were racing with Andy [Forsberg] then we were pretty good, because I watch a lot of video, and Andy’s pretty good at this type of racing.

“It’s all about pacing yourself. You watch Donny Schatz pace himself, his fastest laps come at the end of the race so at the beginning of the race I paced myself and shopped around, then I got the and tried not to make mistakes.”

Pittman recorded his second runner-up finish in-a-row, finishing second to Donny Schatz on the final night at Stockton Dirt Track on Saturday before finishing second to Johnson tonight.

“You couldn’t have scripted a better finish than that one tonight,” Pittman said. “Starting on the pole you want to win but for [Jason Johnson] to come back and win and me to finish second...It was a lot of fun to come back to a racetrack that we both had a bad night, and both got hurt, and come back and run strong.

“Our goals weren’t too high coming in here tonight. My goal was to see more of the track than I did from the Placerville hospital, so luckily we achieved that and finished second. But congrats to Jason [Johnson], he has definitely been fast this year. He has probably been the most improved and they’re in the hunt every night, so it was a great win for that team, and a good run for us.”

Forsberg brought home a third place finish after being one of the fastest cars all night and contending for the victory early in the feature.

“We were all working today until about noon so we were able to come out here today and run with the Outlaws – these guys are pros,” Forsberg said. “Am I a little disappointed I didn’t win? Of course...We’ve been here twice and been in contention twice, so I don’t know what else to say, other than I am happy to be in third place.

“It sure broke my heart to see Brad [Sweet] drive off the track and let me by him, it was definitely nice of him.”

FREMONT, Ohio – Donny Schatz has had a career season. So much so that new rules are coming out for the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series involving shock packages that may be directed at the STP/Tony Stewart Racing team…at least he feels that way in a tongue-in-cheek manner. But that didn’t slow the five time series champion down at all at Fremont Speedway Saturday.

Schatz, who had to qualify for the 40-lap A-main by winning the Last Chance Showdown, took the lead with a phenomenal move with five laps to go to, and drove to his 26th series win of 2014. It was the third time this season Schatz won a World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series event having not run in the dash.

Schatz, of Fargo, N.D., won for the second consecutive year at Fremont, but he had to survive a green, white, checkered finish to accomplish the feat.

“It was a great race. I can hear a new rule coming…you won’t be able to win if you run a B-main. Great effort by this team. You’re going to have nights like this. In the heat race we just seemed to get caught up behind the guys on the front row and made some bad laps and got us behind. We had to run the B-main and came back. Phenomenal job…these guys have worked hard on this race car. Hats off to the STP team,” said Schatz beside his STP/Tony Stewart Racing/AmorAll/Crimsafe/Chevy Performance backed #15.

“The race track was tricky. I just couldn’t figure out how to get my car to roll in the right spot until later in the race. I kept getting so tight on entry I just couldn’t get the right spot on exit. It took me that long to figure out how to do it…I was lucky I was able to stay in a good spot and stay with them and had some lapped traffic to get to those guys. You have to move around on the race track. You can work on these cars all you want but you have to run the pedal…you have to move the wing and do a lot of things. Hats off to a great race team and their ability to get it close for me,” added Schatz.

Bixby, Oklahoma’s Shane Steward would lead 34 laps of the feature and would have to settle for second.

“I got to a group of cars there and I wasn’t sure where to race. I knew my times had slowed down a lot. That team…Donny and Ricky (Warner, crew chief) and all those guys..they’ve mastered this type of race track. It’s made everybody in the pit area work hard to try to beat them. We’re getting there…we’re getting better on slick race tracks. I have to thank Matt at FK shocks and Steve and Andrew and Bob have worked extremely hard all year long. For a first year team we’ve had a pretty solid season. To come out here and compete on a track like this where I struggled earlier this year during Ohio Speedweek says a lot for my team,” said Stewart beside his Go Pro/Larson-Marks Racing backed machine.

“I didn’t have anything for Donnie on the last restart. I don’t know if I sealed a tire up or what. We’ll mark this down in the book as a lesson learned. Hopefully when we come back and we get this scenario again we’ll do better,” said Steward.

Fremont regular Chris Andrews, who passed 20 time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser to win the dash to start on the pole of the feature, would actually lead a lap of the feature and would come home third.

“We’ll take this..I thought we could pass Shane for the win and here comes the computer Donny Schatz to pass everybody. Our guys here are pretty tough. These Outlaw guys have had to learn to peddle a car a little bit…this isn’t a half mile locked down race track. It’s still pretty tough to race with them,” said Andrews beside his Burmeister Racing/Lucas Oil/Kistler Racing Products backed machine.

Andrews, who passed Steve Kinser late in the dash to claim the pole starting spot in the feature, and Stewart would pace the field to the green for the 40-lap feature. Stewart would gain the advantage over Andrews, fast qualifier Cole Duncan, Kinser and Brad Sweet.

The first caution would fly on lap three when Cody Darrah and Craig Mintz would tangle. The restart order was Stewart, Andrews, Duncan, Kinser, five time Fremont champion Byron Reed, Jason Sides, Schatz, who started 11th, and Gary Taylor. Andrews would actually edge Stewart on the restart to lead lap four, but once the laps started to tick off Stewart pulled away slightly.

By lap 10 the leaders were racing into heavy lapped traffic but Steward worked his way through with Andrews staying within striking distance. By lap 12 Schatz had moved into fifth and took third with a great move on lap 17.

At the half way mark Stewart continued to lead Andrews, Schatz, Reed, Sides, Duncan, Sweet, Daryn Pittman and Greg Wilson. Steward would methodically work through traffic and pulled away from Andrews by lap 25. But, heavy lapped traffic would draw the top three close by lap 28. With 10 laps to go the huge crowd could see Schatz was coming.

As Stewart led with eight laps to go, Schatz was on Andrews’ rear bumper with Side, Reed and Duncan in pursuit. Schatz would dive low in turn three coming to the five to go signal and drive now only around Andrews but Steward and a lapped car as well to take the lead.

The caution would fly on lap 38 for a Kerry Madsen spin, setting up an exciting ending. The restart order was Schatz, Steward, Andrews, Sides, Duncan, Reed, Sweet and Wilson.

Schatz would drive away for the win over Steward, Andrews, Sides and Duncan rounding out the top five.

ATTICA, Ohio – For the first time in 2014, the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series regulars did not finish in the top three. Friday night at Attica Raceway Park Ohio drivers swept the podium on Kistler Engines Classic Night.

Hartford, Ohio’s Dale “The Low Rider” Blaney took the lead from Dean Jacobs on lap 30 and went on to score his third victory of the season at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speedplant. The victory against the Outlaws is Blaney’s 20th career win at Attica, tying him for third on the track’s all-time win list. Blaney joins Steve Kinser and Donny Schatz as the only drivers to win two World of Outlaws features at Attica.

Defending Attica track champion Craig Mintz would storm from his 13th starting position to finish second while Dean Jacobs, a former Attica track champion who led the first 29 laps, would round out the all-Ohio podium.

“The first five or six laps I thought we were going to be terrible,” said Blaney beside his Tony Kennedy owned machine. “It got better and better as it went. Hats off to Tony Kennedy and George (Fisher) and Donnie and Skippy…they’ve been working hard. We’ve had a great start to the year. Hopefully we can continue it through the summer.”

“Pretty cool to see Craig and Dean up here too. I saw the 09 in third and I know how good he is here. I was happy to see the 97 in second with three to go because I know he (Craig) came from a long way back. For us three to be up here is pretty cool,” added Blaney beside his Kennedy Cattle/Ti22 Performance/Penske Shocks/GF1 Chassis backed #14k. “We’ve had a lot of success here. We’ve been here three times and won all three.”

For Mintz, it seems whenever Blaney is in town for a big show, he runs second. This time it was against the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series drivers as well and his runner-up finish garnered him an additional $500 as the highest placing Attica regular.

“We came here to put on a great show for the fans. Dale was strong. I knew it was going to be tough to get in front of him. We got past the 97 (Jacobs). GF1’s ran pretty good tonight,” said Mintz beside his Real Geese Decoys/Damschroder Roofing/KS Sales and Service/Design Graphics Group backed machine.

“When you run with Dale Blaney and Tim Shaffer and them guys every week it makes you step up your game and it makes you get better,” added Mintz. “We’ve heard a lot of it from the PA Posse but it’s nice to put all Ohio guys on the front stretch.”

For Dean Jacobs late race cautions kept him from winning his second career World of Outlaws feature.

“From what they tell me I just didn’t need the caution flags. I had a pretty good lead from what it sounds like. Everybody was fast. I got up to Chad Kemenah to lap him and he was going pretty fast and was running the same part of the track I was running,” said Jacobs beside his Joe and Diane Seeling owned machine.

“There’s no shame to running behind these two guys. These two guys on a track like this are really fast. They have their program going. It shows you that the local competition is pretty tough around here. I was really shock to see Craig pass me on the high side…that’s not him but he did an awesome job tonight,” said Jacobs about his Northwest Ohio Towing and Recovery/NAPA Truck Center/Blue Beacon/Kistler Engines backed #97.

In the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models, Mansfield, Ohio’s Rocky Owens took the lead on lap three and pulled away for his first career Attica win.

“This means a lot,” said an emotional Owens. “My dad…he does a great job with this car. I can’t thank him and Doug Heath enough. Without them two I probably would be sitting at home right now. There’s no sponsors on this thing. It’s just my dad and Doug and a couple of friends help us out here and there. I’m very fortunate to be able to do this let alone stand here at my favorite race track.”

In the 40-lap Kistler Engines Classic, Jacobs and Joey Saldana would bring the field to the green but Travis Philo and Cap Henry would get together in turn three with both flipping. Both drivers were okay but done for the night. On the second attempt at a green Jacobs would rocket off the bottom to take the lead over Saldana, Cody Darrah, Brad Sweet, Kerry Madsen and Blaney.

Jacobs would pull away from Saldana as Darrah, and Madsen battled for third. Behind them a torrid battle was taking place between Sweet, Daryn Pittman and Blaney. Caleb Griffith would spin on lap six to bring out the caution, wiping out a big lead by Jacobs. When the green flew again so did Jacobs while Saldana had his hands full with Madsen with Darrah, Sweet and Blaney continuing their entertaining battle for fourth.

Jacobs was on a rail as he continued to build his lead over Saldana before catching the rear of the field by lap 19. Meanwhile Saldana, Madsen and Blaney were battling for second. Blaney executed a terrific move, splitting both Madsen and Saldana on lap 25 to grab second and immediately closed on Jacobs. Using the middle of the track in turns one and two while the rest of the field was glued to the bottom, Blaney drove around Jacobs into the lead on lap 30.

Meanwhile Mintz had quietly moved into the top five and when Madsen spun with 10 laps remaining, Mintz sat third. On the ensuing restart Darrah would get upside down in turn three, collecting Brian Lay. When the green flew again so did Blaney on the single-file restart as Mintz applied pressure to Jacobs with Sweet, Greg Wilson, Pittman and Donny Schatz, who started 23rd, in pursuit.

Blaney continued to pull away as the laps ticked off with Mintz driving around Jacobs to take second with two circuits to go. Mintz ran out of laps to catch Blaney as the Low Rider stormed to the victory. Mintz, Jacobs, Sweet and Schatz would round out the top five.

In the 25-lap late models feature Larry Kingseed and Owens brought the field to the green, but Bob Mayer would spin. On the next attempt at a start Brad Malcuit coasted to a stop. The third time was the charm as Kingseed grabbed the lead over Owens, Ryan Markham, Ky Harper and Matt Irey. Owens would drive under Kingseed for the lead on lap three just as the caution flew for a Brandon Perkins spin.

When the green reappeared Owens pulled away from Kingseed while Markham, Harper, Irey and Rusty Schlenk were locked in a tremendous battle for third. Markham grabbed the runner-up spot on lap seven but could not close on Owens until the caution flew on lap 10 for Harper. On the ensuing restart Markham stormed to Owens’ outside but could not make the pass. Meanwhile Schlenk had moved into third and was closing on the top duo.

With the green staying out the final 15 laps, Owens was glued to the bottom and pulled away while the battle behind him was fantastic between Markham, Schlenk, Kingseed, Irey and Jeff Babcock. Schlenk would finally take the second spot on lap 21 but Markham and Irey continued to hound him.

Owens would cruise to the win over Schlenk, Irey, Markham and Babcock.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, June 6th on Croghan Colonial Bank/All Pro Aluminum Heads Night. The O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints will be in competition on a Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series points night.
