MINERAL WELLS, W.V. (August 7, 2021) — Tim Shaffer scored the feature victory during the $20,000 to win SERVPRO World Race of Champions Saturday at West Virginia Motor Speedway. On Saturday, with several additional entries, the Ti22 Performance series cars were split into 3 groups for ARP Fasteners Qualifying. Brandon Wimmer and Sean Rayhall turned identical 19.605 laps to best group one with official fast time to Wimmer by virtue of having the fastest “secondary lap” at 19.765 over Rayhall’s 20.033. Group 2 was quick timed by Shaffer with overall quick time and fastest in group 3, Anthony Macri at 18.644. Ten lap heat races were won by Cale Conley, Shaffer and Macri.

The 25 lap Servpro “Race of Champions” main event was delayed nearly one hour after a brief rain shower hit the speedway. Promoter Cody Watson and his crew did a great job getting the track back in shape for the stars and cars of the Ti22 Performance FAST series drivers. Tim Shaffer would start from the pole with Lee Jacobs alongside. Macri and Conley lined up in row 2 with Polyak and Wimmer in row 3.

At the drop of the green flag, Shaffer grabbed the early lead. The rainfall from the delay made the track incredibly fast and the leader hit lapped traffic just after the completion of lap 3. The event would be slowed by one yellow and one red flag. The yellow flew on lap 12 when Wayne McPeek coasted to a stop entering turn 3. Just 6 laps later, the only red came out when Travis Philo flipped in turn 3.

With an 8 lap dash to the finish, Shaffer led to the restart with Macri locked on his tail. As they reached the restart zone, Shaffer accelerated immediately putting just enough distance between the lead duo to hold on for the feature victory, despite encountering heavy lapped traffic for a third time. Macri clung to second with Conley again completing the podium. Paige Polyak ran a great race to finish 4th with Lee Jacobs fifth. The balance of the top 10 were Wimmer, Rayhall, Jordan Ryan, Jack Sodeman and Kory Crabtree.

The Ti22 Performance FAST on Dirt tour would like to thank all the teams and fans for supporting this event. In addition, a BIG thank you to Cody Watson and the staff at West Virginia Motor Speedway for putting on the race and for treating our staff and teams with the greatest respect! Next up for FAST is Saturday, August 14th at Fremont Speedway in a show combined with the BOSS tour. Just one week later, another BOSS/FAST doubleheader is on tap for Waynesfield Raceway Park on August 21st.
