Fourth Win of the Season comes at Mississippi Thunder Speedway

Lucas Schott is quickly becoming the face of the River City Manufacturing USRA Modified division at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY, for the second week in a row, the Chatfield, MN racer ended the evening with family and friends celebrating another feature win in Victory Lane. But it very easily could have ended differently as the feature got off to a wild start; with the 18 car field bumping and banging as they took the green flag to start the 25 lap feature. Some of that bumping and banging resulting in Les Duellman (who started on the outside of the third row) backing his Dirt-Dueller #0 hard into the turn one wall.

But after the dust and settled, the action on-track heated up with Schott running as high as the upper groove would allow as he worked his way to the front and began opening up the lead. Behind Schott's #69 the father-son duo of Bob and Jake Timm spent laps several laps battling for position while 2010 track champion Josh Angst worked his way from an inside fourth row starting spot towards the front.

But many race fan's attentions were focused on the "Fast Fastenal 59" of Hank Rollinger Jr. Currently sitting third in the River City Manufacturing USRA Modified point standings, Rollinger is enjoying a strong first half of the 2012 season - despite starting deep in the field, on the inside of the fifth row, Rollinger used calculated moves and speed, including the fastest lap of the 25-lap feature, to smoothly weave his way through the pack. By the final five laps of the feature, Rollinger was actually closing in on Schott.

"I've been working hard every single week on this car," said Rollinger after the strong charge that came up just one position short of his first feature win of the year, "I've made both big and little changes and all of them are helping." It's apparent that Rollinger's chances of finally grabbing a feature win are closer now than ever.

Unfortunately for Rollinger, Schott was in position to hold on and pick up his third feature win and second in a row. "That high groove was about has high as it could get," commented Schott from Victory Lane, "I think the track was taking on some rubber late, but my car was handling perfectly up where I was running."

Rollinger enjoyed a strong showing in second with Jake Timm beating Angst and 2011 Track Champion Bob Timm to the line for third.
