Sheldon Haudenschild records first podium finish in rookie season
KILGORE, Tex. – March 3, 2017 – There is a crater wrapped around turns one and two of LoneStar Speedway – now a reinvented third-mile dirt course. Shortened from a 3/8-mile oval since the last time the World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series visited there in 2010, the “Greatest Show on Dirt” competed on the equally as fast bullring Friday night for the first time at the new length. Wheel-to-wheel with 23 other cars, Donny Schatz avoided the expected dangers of short-track racing and took the checkered flag without a hitch.
KILGORE, Tex. – March 3, 2017 – Donny Schatz swept the East Texas Lone Star Shootout Friday night at LoneStar Speedway, leading all 35 laps. Rookie of the Year contender Sheldon Haudenschild, who captured his first podium finish as a full-timer in World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series, competed alongside Schatz early-on to finish third. Jason Johnson, who already has a win under his belt in 2017, was within one-second of Schatz and ultimately finishing second.
