Schaefer Wins at Kentucky in ASL Debut

Reece Schaefer made the most of his debut performance in the ASL Elite Series, winning at Kentucky Speedway. Schaefer took advantage of a late caution and took control of the race from Joseph McWhorter.

Justin Gann started from the pole, but quickly ceded the lead to Johnny Avila and Schaefer, who battled for the stage win, with Schaefer edging him out. The opening stage was clean and green with no cautions slowing the action.

The second stage became a battle between Schaefer and McWhorter, with two cautions slowing the pace. McWhorter was great on tire management, extending his lead until the final caution bunched the field back up. This allowed Schaefer back into the picture, and he seized control of the race and never looked back.

Completing the Top 5 behind Schaefer and McWhorter were Gann, Todd Cray and Bentley Glaser. Glaser maintains his lead in the points standings heading into next week’s race at Bristol.

There are now just two races remaining in the regular season, with Bristol and Kansas poised to determine the twelve drivers who will make up the playoff grid. Catch the action at Bristol live on WFO Racing Network on March 5 at 8:15 pm Eastern!

Front-runner Todd Cray was probably the most directly impacted, as after his stage win, contact with Duane Hunt ruined both drivers’ chances for victory just after the midway point of the race.

Behind Yenisch in the running order was Waters,
