By: Kevin Bayer

Putnamville, Indiana (September 21, 2019)………Just three weeks earlier, Jeff Schindler's car sat upside down in turn one at Wayne County Speedway in Illinois from an on track incident leaving his car beat battered and broken.

"What a difference three weeks makes," Schindler exclaimed loudly with a lots of emotion as he sat in victory lane Saturday night at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, Ind.

Drew Dorsett sat on pole for the main event, he would lead every lap of the race, except for the last foot before the checkers would fly. Schindler would hound Dorsett nearly every lap. He would get the run off turn 4 every time but would fall back in line as the pair would get to the start finish line well, except for the last. It seemed that he was saving it for the final lap. Coming to the checkers Schindler would not fall back in line he would stay top side and edge Dorsett by a mere .02 of a second according to timing and scoring.

This would be Schindlers first ever win with the Midwest Mini Sprint Association. Picking a great time for his first win, came with 26 highly competitive lightning sprints in quest for the lightning sprint nationals event.

The USAC/MMSA Lightning Sprint Champion was crowned at the conclusion on the night. Cody Trammell after winning Friday night at Thunder Valley Raceway and a 4th place Saturday, he claimed the 2019 Lightning Sprint Championship.

With only 3 races left in the 2019, Trammell has his eyes set on a back to back series championship.

Prelims Saturday went to Jake Hesson, Jeff Schindler, and Cody Trammell.

Top runners in the feature were, Jeff Schindler, Drew Dorsett, Jac Nickles and Cody Trammel.

The next MMSA event is Friday night October 4th at Thunder Valley in Salem, Indiana. Then Saturday night October 5th Gas City Speedway and season ending event October 19th at Tri-State Speedway.
