Shark Racing Week 18 Recap

Shark Racing Weekly Recap
Presented by: Bear Digital Advertisement, LLC

Night number 1 of the three-day race week was hosted at the Granite City Speedway in Saux Rapids MN.

The Tuesday night affair started off good for the Shark Racing team as Logan Schuchart recorded an 11.7617 lap placing him 7th in Qualifying Time Trials, while Jacob Allen would settle into the 13th position with the time of 11.931. The entire field would be separated by just 1.1 seconds after 23 cars had taken time.

With a consistent quick racing surface for heat race competition, Logan and Jacob would share heat race one. Logan would fire off from the 3rd position and Jacob would roll from the 5th position. A relatively uneventful heat race would see Logan finish 3rd and Jacob finishing 6th. This would place both cars into the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Cars A-Main event.

As Johnny called the four wide salute Logan would get lined up in the 7th position and Jacob would start 16th. Jason Johnson pulled out to a commanding start over Donny Schatz. As laps clicked away Logan found a rhythm and began to make progress through the field. A mid-race restart would be the defining moment in the race, as Schatz moved around Johnson for the lead and eventually the win. The restart wasn’t as kind to Logan as he would lose a little momentum and hang on to a top ten finish, coming home in the 9th position. Jacob would end the night in the 22nd position.

Night number 2 would be the World of Outlaw’s maiden voyage to the West Liberty Speedway in West Liberty, Iowa.

The Friday night event had a different buzz in the air, with the series first visit and some different faces in new places. Joey Saldana was let go from the 17 car and familiar series face Jac Haudenschild was in the seat. He would make his presence felt by recording quick time in his first attempt at qualifying the 17 machine.

Logan timed in 18th and Jacob record the 21st best lap with a time of 16.414. Those qualifying results would make the rest of the night a tough battle as Jacob and Logan would again share Heat Race number 3. Logan started from the 6th position and Jacob started from the 7th position. Passing would prove difficult and both cars would finish where they started, recording a 6th and 7th place finish respectively.

Jacob Allen would start 3rd in the Last Chance Showdown. Mechanical difficulties would end Jacob Allens night and he would be credited with 9th in the Last Chance Showdown.

As the A-Main gained formation, Logan Schuchart would start from the 18th position. Logan would battle his way up to the 15th position before his night ould end with a DNF. Logan would be credited with the 22nd finishing position.

Night number 3 would see the series roll into Beaver Dam Wisconsin for the Jim “JB” Boyd Memorial presented by Karavan Trailers.

The ultra fast tacky 1/3 mile proved tricky in time trial qualifications, but with a 5th place position in group A for Logan Schuchart and an 8th place position for Jacob Allen, the Shark Racing Team was off to a great start.

Heat race number one would have Logan Schuchart blast by Jason Johnson with a bold move from his 3rd place starting position, Logan would finish 2nd and put himself into the Craftsman Club Dash.

Jacob would roll from the 4th starting position, and after a few heated debates for positions, the driver of the 1A would settle into the 5th position, qualifying him for the A-Main event.

The 8 lap, Craftsman Club Dash would be a hotly contested battle to settle the starting lineup for the night’s A-Main event. Logan would battle with Shane Stewart and concede a position leaving him the 5th starting position in the A-Main event.

As the field broke from the 4 wide configuration and the fans settled into their seats, the Shark racing guys would roll from 5th [Logan] and 19th [Jacob]. An early incident involving Jac Haudenschild would also end the night for the Shark Racing Team. Both cars would receive damage and couldn’t return to action. Lap six would see a rare occurrence as Donny Schatz would take a nasty spill down the backstretch leaving him out of competition for the remainder of the event. Shane Stewart would go on to win again and sweep the weekend with new crew chief Lee Stauffer. The Shark Racing Team would be credited with 23rd and 24th place finishes.

Schatz Outduels Johnson for 11th Victory of Season at Granite City Speedway
Sweet charges from 10th for podium finish
SAUX RAPIDS, M.N. —June 20, 2017 — In what looked like it was Jason Johnson’s night at Granite City Speedway, Donny Schatz capitalized on a mid-race restart. Schatz drove under Johnson exiting Turn 4 to get by for the lead. Schatz had to hold off a determined Johnson and the KSE Hard Charger Brad Sweet to pick up his 11th victory of the World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car season.

Looking for the clean sweep on the evening, Jason Johnson got the early jump on the 30-lap Feature at Granite City Speedway. Opening up a five-car length lead over the eight-time and defending World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series champion, Donny Schatz. Just shy of the halfway point of the 30-lap race, a yellow flag was displayed for a slowed Ian Madsen who had a flat tire.

On the ensuing restart, Johnson looked like he was going to pick up where he left off, rocketing out to a quick lead over Schatz. As the field made their way down the backstretch, Johnson choose to enter Turn 3 on the top-side, leaving Schatz the bottom.

“[Schatz] just knew what he needed to do to get by me on that restart,” said Jason Johnson. “We had a car just as fast as his.”

“Races aren’t won on the start, a lot of people never figure that out,” said Donny Schatz. “We just wait for an opportunity. We got a run on [Jason] on the start, and we went down the back, and he decided to go up top into three, and I went where he didn’t, and we were able to get by.”

At the same time, Sweet wanted a piece of the action, having got by Madsen on the restart for third place.

“The car was really good in the beginning,” said Brad Sweet.

With Schatz out front, Johnson and Sweet were nipping at his heels.

The top-three all within a half-second of each other had to contend with lap traffic the remaining half of the race. That didn’t seem to slow them down as the three were trading positions looking to pick up their next win on the season.

“I threw everything I knew I had at [Schatz] to try to get by him,” added Johnson. “We like to win for sure. Anytime you can race with Donny and battle with [Donny], it’s a lot of fun. [Schatz] is one of the cleaner racers out here.”

The final five laps of the race it looked like it could have to gone to Schatz, Johnson or Sweet all trading positions back and forth. Schatz was just able to pick his line and get through heavy lap traffic first to power his way home for his 11th victory of the 2017 World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car season.

“I think everything raises the heart rate,” said Donny Schatz in Victory Lane. “There’s a lot of great racers out here right now and they’ve got their game on. These Arctic Cat guys are in the same boat. They work their tails off to be good. We were a lot better earlier in the night – that’s kind of odd, usually, we get better as the night goes on. We got the job done and that’s about it.”

Sweet who started on the outside of the fifth row of the Feature, charged his way forward and looked like he had something for both Schatz and Johnson picked up the KSE Hard Charger award.

“Lap cars just didn’t play out or if we got [Johnson], [Johnson] got us back. This NAPA Auto Parts car has been really fast, we put ourselves a little behind tonight but it was nice to drive up in there. If we keep having cars like this, we’ll be able to win some more of these.”

With a Lot of Skill and a Little Luck, Stewart Locks in West Liberty Win
WEST LIBERTY, IA — June 23, 2017 — Bixby, OK-native Shane Stewart commanded the Larson Marks Racing No. 2 car for 25 laps through the checkers to win the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series debut at the 1/2-mile West Liberty Raceway. Behind him, Kasey Kahne Racing driver Brad Sweet fought Jason Johnson for second place to round out the podium.

Stewart started the day out strong, qualifying second, but a bit of luck also came into play later that night. At the start of the West Liberty Hawkeye 25 Feature, both Johnson and Sweet got past Stewart, but a caution before the lap was complete forced a reset, giving him a second chance.

“That was my race, honestly,” said Stewart. “I would’ve never passed those guys back if that caution hadn’t come out. I honestly don’t know what the heck happened. I just spun my tires really bad.”

This marks the third win of the season and the first this month for Stewart, who came to this event with a new crew chief, Lee Stauffer, at his side and now sits fourth in points standings, just four points past Daryn Pittman.

Behind the leader, Johnson and Sweet fell in line throughout the first half of the race. Ian Madsen made an early run on Pittman for fourth, but some Turn 4 trouble in Lap 12 resulted in a tow off the field and the end of the race for Madsen.

On the restart, Johnson just couldn’t steal the lead from Stewart, and Sweet took advantage of the fumble, charging past him for second place. Despite additional restarts, the three crossed the checkers in just that order: Stewart, Sweet, Johnson.

The battle between Stewart and Johnson commenced earlier, in the Craftsman Club Dash, with Stewart successfully stealing the lead for the win — a lead which Johnson had already stolen from Jac “Wild Child” Haudenschild during the Dash Draw.

From the looks — and sound — of it, this was to be the Wild Child’s day. The Twittersphere was ablaze all afternoon with news of his commanding the Stenhouse Jr./Wood Racing No. 17 car that night. And despite the many hard feelings aroused by Joey Saldana’s absence, fans rallied behind J. Haudenschild, who answered back with Quick Time in Qualifying, setting the track record with a 15.737.

J. Haudenschild went on to win Heat 1 and was looking pretty great for the Feature until the Dash Inversion came in with a six, for a full-field inversion that set him back to sixth. There would be no win for the No. 17 that night as the Wild Child came in at 16.

Meanwhile, the younger Haudenschild, who started the feature beside his dad, just one position behind, took over dad’s spot to come in sixth and even held off Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing driver and eight-time Series Champion Donny Schatz for half the race.

As fans rushed to meet their favorite drivers in the Pit area after the race, though, a young boy ran in screaming: “Did you find the Wild Child yet? Did you?”

Caution: Stewart Is on a Streak
BEAVER DAM, WI — June 24, 2017 — In a night full of cautions and chaos, and even a bit of rain after Time Trials, Larson Marks Racing driver Shane Stewart secured a weekend sweep as he took the checkers for the second night in a row, this time at the Jim “JB” Boyd Memorial presented by Karavan Trailers at Beaver Dam Raceway.

Greg Wilson, who led the race for 24 laps, came in just short of the podium as Kerry Madsen charged from the back to come in second with Jason Johnson behind him.

“That was a crazy long race,” said Stewart from Victory Lane as the racing wrapped up near 1:00 AM.

It was a night full of hardship at the high-banked third-mile. A bit of rain after Time Trials delayed the racing and made for a challenging surface. Some cautions during the second Heat had the crowd on the edge of their seats and set the tone for the 40-lap Feature. “They’re picking them off one by one,” said a fan in the backstretch grandstand. “There’s too much grip. It’s going to be the last man standing.”

Greg Wilson came in second in that Heat, in which only four drivers managed to complete all 10 laps, so he was looking at the last row of the Craftsman Club Dash. A full Dash inversion, with a draw of eight, however, moved him to the front, just outside of Donny Schatz, which is just where he started the Feature. Wilson wasn’t about to let that get away from him. He charged out ahead of Schatz in Lap 1.

Schatz got a second chance, just as Stewart got at West Liberty Raceway the night before, but he came out less than victorious.

A caution durring the first lap forced a re-start, and set the field back to its original position. Jac Haudenschild bit the wall in Turn 2 with the Stenhouse Jr./Wood Racing No. 17 and was out of the race.

Wilson took the lead again on the restart, and Stewart passed Schatz for second on Lap 6, starting a battle between them. Unfortunately, the battle resulted in contact between the two drivers that sent the Arctic Cat No. 15 flying into the air before taking several flips on the backstretch with 33 laps to go. Although the Series champ came out unharmed, he was done for the night.

“I’ve got to say sorry to Donny,” said Stewart from Victory Lane. “I didn’t mean to get into him. I got backed up there a little bit, and I didn’t see him go last minute. He’s the last person that you’d ever want to wreck.”

Sheldon Haudenschild was the next driver to taste the wall. More and more cautions followed, and while Wilson and Stewart battled it out up front, Kerry Madsen and Jason Johnson made themselves busy, climbing lap after lap and taking advantage of every restart.

Madsen had some challenges earlier in the night. He had a strong lead in his Heat when he spun into the wall between Turns 3 and 4, losing a wheel and limping off into the work area while his car was towed. But he refused to be defeated. He went on to win the Last Chance Showdown and make the Feature, where he started in the 21 spot. Yes, 21. And with only two laps to go, there he was, passing Wilson for second place.

For Stewart, it was a different kind of second: his second win in just two nights, and his second race with new crew chief Lee Stauffer. Asked what Stauffer has brought to the team, Stewart replied, “Confidence. We just lacked a little bit of that. He has a lot of self-confidence, and so has brought a lot to the team. He’s a good leader.”
