(PETERSEN MEDIA- Stockton, CA)- Saturday night at the Stockton Dirt Track, Terry Schank was on cruise control with the Wingless Series Presented by Joe Hunt Magnetos as he raced to his second consecutive series win, and third overall in 2015.
With Austin Liggett sweeping the event the last time the series took to the Stockton Dirt Track, Schank nearly repeated the feat on Saturday night as he would be a heat race win shy of pulling it off.
After scoring the Dash win, the Petaluma, CA driver would lead the field to green alongside John Clark.
Getting the early jump, Schank would take off and hide as he extended his lead lap after lap, as the Stockton Dirt Track produced an extremely fast surface during much of the night.
With Schank out front, Shawn Jones moved into the second spot from his fourth starting position, as Klint Simpson took over the third in the running order, up from the sixth spot.
With Schank in his own zip code on Saturday night, he would cruise to his third win overall with the series in 2015, as Jones would run second, Simpson third, Nick DeCarlo fourth, and Ryan Silverling would turn in a very strong performance as he worked his way into the Top-Five from his 12th starting spot.
In preliminary action, Schank would earn quick time honors during time trials, as DeCarlo and Nick Larson would each pick up heat race wins. During the six-lap Dash, Schank would wire the field and earn the pole for the feature event.
