Night 2 of the USAC/MMSA Lightning Sprint Nationals goes to a first time MMSA winner, Jeff Schindler!

Just 3 weeks earlier 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 3 weeks difference makes" Schindler exclaimed loudly with a lots of emotion as he sat in victory lane Saturday night at Lincoln Park Speedway.

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.
