Schafer Sizzles With Second TSCS Win
After three months of waiting, St. Croix Valley Raceway finally got a shot of perfect summer racing weather as they hosted their Ultimate Kids’ Night event on Friday August 2. On a night that was capped with loud and colorful fireworks, kids reigned supreme with free treats, driver autographs, trophies and bikes – donated by the track, the Northern Vintage Stockcar Racers and several of the track’s regular drivers.
The UMSS Traditional Sprints were the last group to race prior to the big pyrotechnics display, with Cam Shafer and Ken Bradwell bringing the fifteen car field to the start. Shafer squirted out to the lead, chased by Rob Caho Jr., Johnny Parsons III, Mike Mueller and Bradwell. While the leaders mostly worked the cushion, the middle of the racing pack was seeing competitive racing in middle and lower grooves as well. A number of cautions slowed the race, but upon each restart, the reigning Open Wheel Nationals champion Shafer had the speed required to keep all challengers at bay, picking up the clean-sweep win for his second of the summer. Rounding out the rest of the top five were Caho, Bradwell, Parsons and Jimmy Kouba.
