“The Wild Child” Sweeps MOWA Event at Vermilion County Speedway!

| April 22, 2013

 (Bill W) April 21, 2013 – “The Wild Child” Jac Haudenschild swept his heat the Dash and the Feature event, all from the pole, at the Vermilion County Speedway on Sunday night.  His first career MOWA victory aboard the Leidig #59 was part of the Midwest Open Wheel Shootout.
 
The 25-lap main event was slow to get rhythm, as Haudenschild took the early lead ahead of Shane Stewart.  With two laps in the books, Miranda Throckmorton came to a stop, bringing out the caution flag.  Two laps later, Paul Nienhiser spun.  An incident involving Jason Leffler and Chris Urish slowed things with six laps in the books. 
 
With 19 laps to go, Haudenschild led the field back to green, ahead of Stewart, AJ Bruns, Sheldon Haudenschild and Lucas Wolfe.  The younger Haudenschild overtook Bruns for third on lap 12, and reeled in Stewart in traffic in an attempt to catch his father, who led.
 
Jac did well in traffic and put a lapped car between himself and the trailing pair by lap 19, when fourth running Lucas Wolfe spun to a stop on lap 19.  The final restart saw Jac leading Stewart, Sheldon, Bruns and Kody Kinser back to green.
 
Sheldon saved a spin out on the restart, but got off the track, losing several spots.  Jac led the final six circuits to the win with Stewart and Bruns in tow.  Hard-charger, Randy Hannagan and Kinser rounded out the top five.
 
Sixth through tenth were Nienhiser, back from the tail after his spin, Danny Smith, Sheldon Haudenschild, Wolfe and Jimmy Hurley.  Jerrod Hull, Wolfe, Stewart and Haudenschild won heats, while Leffler and Jimmy Light won the B mains.
 
The next MOWA event will be Saturday, May 4 at the Spoon River Speedway south of Canton, Illinois.
