Schatz’s right rear tire was plugged, Steve Kinser’s
was blistered but they both held up long enough to stage an epic
Kinser was leading with Schatz right behind when the field restarted after a
caution with 10 laps to go. Kinser took off low out of Turn 4 and powered
through the first two turns. Schatz kept pace with Daryn Pittman, Tim Shaffer
and
With four to go, Schatz got a run on Kinser down the backstretch then pulled
off a crowd-thrilling slide-job through Turns 3 and 4 and motored down the
front-stretch with the lead. His tire, which was plugged by his dad during an
open red flag with 16 laps complete, lasted long enough for Schatz to capture
his first Harvest Classic title and for his crew of Ricky Warner and Dion Hindi to push the Parker Store J&J into Victory
Lane for the sixth time this year in an A-feature event.
Kinser held on to finish second in his Quaker State Maxim with Shaffer in his
Casey’s General Stores Maxim, Meyers in his Elite Landscaping Maxim and Pittman
in his Titan Garages and Carports Maxim rounding out the top five.
The series shifts Sept. 8-10 to Chico, Calif., for the Gold Cup at Silver
Dollar Speedway before heading back east Sept. 12 to Rocky Mountain Speedway in
Commerce City, Colo., for a one-night Brownfield Promotions’ event and onto
Eagle Raceway Sept. 16-17 for the 1/3-mile Championship in Eagle, Neb.

Notes: Danny Lasoski was running third in Heat Race No. 2 when he cut a
right rear tire and crashed in Turn 3. Lasoski was uninjured, but was forced to
go to a back-up car and start last in the B-main and the A-main. … Terry McCarl
was leading heat 2 when he broke a camshaft. McCarl dropped out, and changed
engines before the B-main.
