The Pirtek Renegades joined forces to achieve the highest car count this season, with twenty-
one traditional teams checking in to battle at Cedar Lake Speedway. Heat 1, sponsored by The
Post Bar & Grill and James Ackerley Construction, was secured by Jamie Reberg in the 59 car.
Heat 2, sponsored by Rapid Press Printing and Copy Center and Bradwell Auto and Truck
Repair, went to Erik Bjorklund in the 17 car. Heat 3, sponsored by GRP Motorsports and Cedar
Lake Speedway, was won by Edison Aldrich in the 76 car. Reberg accumulated 110 passing
points, advancing from third to first position to lead all drivers.
In the 20-lap feature, Schafer, Aldrich, Reberg, Zach Widdes, and Ken Hron trailed at the green
flag after the top eight in passing points redrew. Schafer quickly gained distance as cars fought
for positions four-wide in turns. The track conditions and field lineup changed after three
cautions were issued. With a commanding performance, Schafer led every lap of the 20-lap
event and arrived at the Pirtek/Hoosier Tire North Victory Lane after traveling over 400 miles
from an out-of-state event that was rained out. The remainder of the top five consisted of
Widdes, Hron, Bjorklund, and Hunter Colton. Lucas Grossinger, driving the 955 car, secured the
hard charger award and a $40 prize sponsored by EJ’s Bar and Bottle Shop, having advanced
eleven positions from his nineteenth-place starting position.
