Eagles Soar to the Top
Mike Emhof Motorsports Eagles Soar to the Top as Shawn Donath Kicks off the 2014 Season with $2,000 win at Can-Am. Donath led all 25 laps from his front row start. It was not easy by any means, during the event, the Donath Motor Worx powered mount had to survive several restarts but the car was up too the challenge. “The car was hooked, I could pull the front end off the ground each time.” Donath noted. “This is a big win for us, not necessarily for me but for the team. It was frustrating for the Lewandowski family last year and I’m just glad we can get this car in victory lane.” said Shawn shortly afterwards. I’m just proud that we all stuck it out and a great way to start the year”
The challenges during the race were plentiful as Stewart Friesen, Chuck Hebing and Cory Sparks all in MEM / Eagles took their shots at Donath in the closing stages.
Friesen was forced to drop out with issues under the hood while getting ready to make his bid at the top spot. Next up was Hebing as he pulled to the inside of Donath on one lap then to the outside thenext only to pull to the pits with a brake issue.This left Sparks to take up the challenge who came from the tenth starting spot.
