From the Tim Schendel Pits... A TOUGH DAY FOR SCHENDEL AT ILLIANA MOTOR SPEEDWAY Motor problems lands Schendel a fourteenth place finish

Tim Schendel and the Iron Eagle Racing team had high
hopes going into the fifth race on the ASA Midwest Tour schedule. He was racing on a
track he never raced before with a set up similar to his home track at the LaCrosse
Speedway. But, the result didnʼt turn out the way Schendel had hoped. He finished
fourteenth in the “Elmer Musgrave Memorial presented by Texas Corral Grill and
Saloon” on Saturday, June 20 at the Illiana Motor Speedway in Schererville, Indiana.

“We were battling motor problems all day. I was able to win the heat race but qualifying
and the race were a struggle.” Schendel stated. “We have go back and take the car
apart and hopefully get it figured out before the next race.”

The car handled well for Schendel in practice. Qualifying proved differently for the #21
TexPar Energy Chevrolet. Schendel qualified in fourteenth place and started in
fourteenth. He was able to make his way to ninth place by lap ten. It was then that the
engine started missing. He was able to hold his starting place and finished fourteenth.
Jacob Goede went on to win the race with Mark Kraus and Jonathan Eilen rounding out
the top three.
“Hopefully, our luck will start to change. The last two races have been pretty tough so
weʼll take the next couple of weeks and try to figure out whatʼs going on with the car.
Cedar Rapids is our next race and I usually run pretty good there so Iʼm hopeful!”
Schendel stated.

Schendel was knocked to fifth place in ASA Midwest Tour points, 97 points down from
leader Nathan Haseleu. The next race on the tour schedule will take the Iron Eagle
Racing team to Hawkeye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids for the 37th Annual “Keith
Fleck Miller 100” on Friday, July 3.
