Hantz Hangs
on to get an Emotional Victory in the Redbud
300
Anderson,
IN (July 28, 2010) –
On July 17 the EMF Racing team lost their
owner when Dick Poe passed after a long
valiant battle with cancer.
The team was racing with a heavy
heart and the determination to do well at
Anderson Speedway’s Welch and Wilson
Motorsports Redbud 300 Monday night.
EMF driver Scott Hantz is the all
time leader in wins with the CRA Super
Series, and would be going for his 28th
win and third at Anderson against a very
stout field. Hantz
qualified sixth started on the outside of
the front row. He would
not stay there as he fell back to third,
following NASCAR star and defending event
winner
Kyle Busch and 15-year-old Chase
Elliott, son of
NASCAR legend
Bill Elliott.
Busch got tangled up while
lapping a car that spun knocking him out of
the race at lap 118, putting Elliott on the
point with Hantz second.
That is the way they were running coming
into the halfway break at lap 150.
Hantz came back out in first, with
Johnny VanDoorn in second, by electing to
take only two tires.
Elliott elected to take four tires and he
restarted in 9th place.
Despite heavy pressure from
first VanDoorn then
Brian Johnson, Jr. Hantz held on to
the lead for the next 150 laps to win.
A last lap accident caused a shuffle
of the finishers as the third, fourth and
fifth place cars tangled in turn two.
Johnson finished second, Terry
Fisher, Jr. third, Tommy St. John fourth and
former NASCAR
Sprint Cup competitor
Ken Schrader came back from two laps
down at one point in the race to finish
fifth.
"This was for Dick (Poe)!"
An emotional Hantz stated. "I think he was
doing the driving, I was just riding. Our
strategy worked perfectly. This car was not
the best tonight, but I just drove her for
all she was worth those last 50 laps and we
got the win. "
Ross Kenseth, in his first
race at Anderson Speedway, started on the
pole after the EDCO Welding Fast Qualifier
Kyle Busch drew a seven for the invert.
Kenseth jumped out to an early lead
before Elliott hunted him down to take the
lead on the 30th lap.
The son of NASCAR competitor
Matt Kenseth dropped off and quickly
fell to the back, then dropped out of the
race due to his battery going dead.
Elliott kept the lead until he was
chased down by Busch, who took the lead on
the 57th lap and quickly drove
away from the field.
The first 150 laps of the
race only had four caution periods, one of
them occurred when Busch tangled with Jeff
Lane when he started to lap Lane and spun
while trying to stay ahead of Busch.
The accident bent the door and the
rear end of Busch’s car forcing him from the
race.
Elliott retook the lead
holding until the halfway mark.
At lap 150 there was a break for the
teams to change tires.
On the restart the fewer tires a driver took
the further up he restarted.
Drivers taking one tire start in
front of those taking two, in front of those
taking three, etc. Hantz
only took two, and started on the point.
Elliott took four and
restarted 9th with various other
strategies playing out through the field.
Hantz never relinquished the
lead, with VanDoorn hanging on in second
looking under Hantz, and to the outside
every lap. Johnson
bumped VanDoorn and got him just loose
enough to get past him.
Johnson then started working on Hantz.
The second half the race
included 10 cautions and one red flag.
The red flag happened when Robert
Maynor had his throttle stick and he charged
full speed into the
second turn wall.
Maynor walked away from the accident with
out injury.
Hantz earned the AR Bodies
Cool Move of the Race Award by keeping the
car straight and in first, despite being
bumped several times over the final laps by
Brian Johnson, Jr. The
EMF Corp. That’s Racing Award went to Jason
Dietsch. The Kingen
Interstate Express Halfway Leader Award went
to Elliott while the VDL Fuel Systems
Hot Lap of the Race Award went to
Busch.
Jay Niewiek was awarded his
first ever Perfect Circle Racecars Rookie of
the Race Award, the
K & N Filters Top Rookie Finisher and
the VDL Fuel Systems Top Rookie Award.
The Safety Solutions Tough Luck Award
went to Maynor for the hardest hit.
Schrader took the Lane
Automotive/ISKY Racing Cams Hardcharger
Award and one of the
Hoosier Racing Tires Performance
Awards. Jim Crabtree,
Jr. took the second Hoosier Racing Tire
Performance Award.
The next event for the CRA
Super Series will be the Toledo 100
Presented by Spray Power at the
Toledo Speedway on August 13.

Lambert made an outside pass of John Heck on
the white flag lap to claim second.

Jason Atkinson. Sterkowitz is in
third place, he is 21 points behind
Atkinson. Cook Jr. is in fourth place, he is
