Sparta, WI (4-20-08)—Iron Eagle Racing and driver Tim Schendel traveled to Elko, MN Saturday, April 19th for the Kwik Trip 125. This was Schendel’s first start for the 2008 ASA Midwest Tour season.

With 47 cars all contending for a spot in the race, things were sure to be competitive. That’s something that Tim Schendel thrives on! Iron Eagle Racing fired up their engine for the season opener and had the solid finish they were looking for.

Overall everything went really well for Tim Schendel and the team. “Everything really came together for us. We were real happy with the way the new car handled,” stated Schendel. “There is always a little uncertainty with a brand new car, but the car really seemed to like the set up we put in it.” Tim and the #21 TexPar Energy Chevrolet led by crew chief Chris Bires qualified 8th and due to the invert, Schendel ending up starting in the third row outside for the main event.

“The races in this series are as tough as anywhere with the competitors racing in it. I like what they are doing with the series and figured we should be a part of it!” Tim Schendel.

This Saturday (April 19th), Tim Schendel and Iron Eagle Racing are starting their race season opener at Elko, Minnesota for the Kwik Trip 125.

Daytona Beach, FL (Tuesday, February 5, 2008) – Two years ago, Tim Schendel and Dan Fredrickson had a point battle in the NASCAR Elite Division Midwest Series that literally came down to the final lap. In the end, it was Schendel claiming the championship by three points over Fredrickson. He would cap off the 2006 season by also winning the Toyota All-Star Showdown in Irwindale, CA.

The 2007 season saw Schendel competing various NASCAR Busch East, ARCA, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events. But, in 2008, Schendel is staying close to home as he will be going for the ASA Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by Echo Outdoor Power Equipment Championship.

“This series really economically fits within our race budget,” Schendel recently stated. “We are just a family owned team, and sometimes we did a lot of things and went over our heads a little bit. It will be a lot more fun to get back and racing within your budget, within your means, and being competitive.”
