On an evening designed to celebrate graduates and county fans, Mississippi Thunder Speedway presented a fabulous night of action Friday on the big 1/3-mile.
Two-time MTS track champion Lucas Schott showed why his nickname is "Cool Hand Luke," running the final half of the Rivercity Manufacturing USRA Modified "Graduation Celebration 25" with former feature winner Jake Timm breathing down his tailpipe ready to throw a slider at him in an effort to take the lead.
"Oh, I knew Jake was there," commented Schott in victory lane after the win, "Early the top was a little loose and crumbly, but I knew it would cool off and tonight that high line was the way to win."
Timm tried lap after lap, often times bouncing his Hurco Machines No. 49 off the wall in turns 1-2 and 3-4.
Timm was able to slide up alongside Schott in the closing laps, but was unable to complete the pass for the lead.
Schott and Timm were followed across the line by the fans-voted Live Trackside Driver of the Week, Josh Angst.
The Mississippi Thunder Speedway is located 3.0 miles north of Fountain City on Wisconsin Highway 35. For more information, call 608-687-3282 or visit MississippiThunder.com.
