Shuman best at Lucas Oil

By Chad Buford – Wheatland, MO (May 2, 2015)-Steadily working his way to the front from his seventh starting spot , Casey Shuman picked up his first win of 2015 with the Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps WAR Sprint Series presented by Next LED on Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Wade Seiler set the early pace with Riley Kreisel moving from his fifth starting spot to second very quickly.  Mitchell Moore, Kenny Potter, Chris Parkinson and Shuman also stayed within striking distance of Seiler.

With Kreisel heavily pressuring Seiler lap after lap, Moore and Potter had their own battle going on for third with Potter taking over the spot on lap eight.

Shuman, meanwhile, disposed of Parkinson for fifth on lap nine.

On lap eleven, Kreisel worked his way past Seiler for the lead.  Potter would also get by Seiler a lap later to take over second.

Shuman, who was now up to fourth, would get by Seiler on lap twelve and set his sights on Kreisel and Potter.

Kreisel would continue to lead as Potter and Shuman worked their way closer lap by lap.

On lap sixteen, Kreisel had trouble getting by a lapped car and Shuman moved by both Potter and Kreisel to take the lead.

With Shuman running high, Potter made a run on the bottom with Kreisel also in the hunt.  As Potter worked his way past Shuman and into the lead, the yellow came out for John Helm, who had spun in turn one.
With a full lap not yet in the books, Potter would go back to second with Shuman back in front for the restart.

On the restart, Shuman was in command as Kreisel began to get heavy pressure from Seiler, Moore, and Craig Carroll.  The trio would move past Kreisel on lap nineteen.

Shuman would cruise on to the win in the Hockett Racing/Korte Transportation #75 with Potter coming home a strong second in his Dayco Painting XXX.  Moore was third in the Jeff Grimes #00 with Seiler a strong fourth.  Carroll rounded out the top five with Parkinson running sixth.  Kreisel was seventh with Warren Johnson charging from eighteenth to eighth.  B-Main winner Josh Stephens was ninth after starting seventeenth with Tim Kent rounding out the top ten.

Heat races were won by Nathan Ryun, Jeff Wingate, and Potter.

In group qualifying, bad luck would strike as Briar McGee, Zach Clark, and Tony Rost all suffered bad crashes ending their evenings prematurely.

In heat race action, Hannah Adair and Taylor Walton would both crash with Adair being able to run the B.

The Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps WAR Sprint Series presented by Next LED will take a few weeks off before making their first appearance at the Randolph County Raceway in Moberly on Saturday May 23rd.
