NEWTON, IA (Sunday, July 20, 2008) – All weekend long Tim Schendel was fast around the 7/8-mile Iowa Speedway as he was able to back up those fast times in practice and qualifying by taking the Rasmussen Group Twin 75’s in front of an announced attendance of 14,888.

“It’s a relief actually because we knew we were capable of winning,” Schendel stated after the race. “To get this, this is awesome and it’s a relief to get a pole and a win.”

For Schendel this is an emotional win, “It’s starting to yeah,” when asked about the emotions hitting him soon after the race. “Usually it doesn’t happen until the next morning when you wake up. Everybody has put in such long hours, me and Chris (Bires, his crew chief) we worked almost until 3 in the morning probably for two weeks with getting everything ready for this weekend and it paid off. We put a lot of work into it and my dad put a lot of money into it along with all of our sponsors and everybody involved. They all gave 100% and I have to give 110% also.”

NEWTOWN, IA (Sunday, July 20, 2008) – Tim Schendel proved how fast he was as he picked his first ECHO “Blows Away the Competition” award today at Iowa Speedway in Newton, IA. Schendel set a fast time of 22.919 seconds (137.441 mph).

“It was great, Chris (Bires, his crew chief) asked what we could have done to make it better and I guess not really nothing,” Schendel stated. “All around it’s a fast car and I know its going to be fast in the long run. We made a 15 lap run yesterday and it would stay at the same speed lap after lap. Hopefully we will get up front, hang out, get some clean air and have some fun.”

For his fast time, Schendel was presented with a new ECHO Power Blower, “That’s cool, now I have something to blow weeds with this Fall. Usually I borrow my mom’s and now I got one.”

Kyle Busch was second fastest with a time of 23.118 seconds with Donny Reuvers in third timing in at 23.254 seconds.
