Shultz Stars In Grove URC Sprint

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. — Jason Shultz won Friday night’s URC sprint car feature at Williams Grove Speedway.

Shultz took the win away from Steve Buckwalter after dogging him for the first 17 laps of the 25-lap event.

Buckwalter and Shultz had the front row for the start of the URC sprint main and Buckwalter got the drop when the green flag appeared.

Shultz assumed second and hounded Buckwalter all during the first eight laps before a red flag appeared for a turned over Derek Locke in the fourth corner.

Mark Smith lined up third for the restart but failed to challenge instead it was back to Shultz and Buckwalter battling for the win with Shultz sticking to the top lane while Buckwalter worked the inside.

And Shultz finally got far enough around in turns three and four with seven laps to go in order to be scored the leader.

Once in front, Shultz pulled away to a 2.095 second lead to pick up his first career 360 sprint car win at Williams Grove.

Lucas Wolfe, who won the 410 sprint car feature, was third followed by Josh Weller and Freddie Rahmer.
