Oswego, NY - Dave Shullick Jr.
has been in an up and down
battle with Mike Lichty for the
2016 ISMA point title most of
the season. At Delaware
Speedway on Aug. 19, Shullick
lost the point lead to Mike
Lichty when Lichty won the
event and Shoe II finished down
the line in 15th. Saturday night
at Oswego Speedway the roles
reversed as Lichty suffered a
broken torque arm ladder in his
heat while Shullick went on to
grab the lead of the Bud Light
SuperNationals from Tim
Jedrzejek on lap 39 and took the
win.
Lichty had tried to start the 60lapper but failed, crediting the
84 with last place. For Shullick
Jr. it was his third win in the
Classic weekend event, and
sixth victory overall in Oswego
winged competition. The win
was Shullick's 19th career win in
ISMA, his fifth this season and
moved into sole possession of
the seventh spot on the ISMA
All-Time win list.
Said the North Ridgeville, Ohio
driver after his win, “It was a
good race. Early we were really
tight. I was just waiting for the
car to free up a little bit. Timmy
looked like he got a little loose
and we were able to capitalize
and get underneath him. With
Timmy behind me knowing he
has had some heroics here in
the past with Mike, I knew he's
good at pulling one off. You
have to think about that. So we
just had to give it all we had,
especially on those restarts, one
after another, after another. I
just tried to be flawless as much
as we could. Fortunately it
worked out for us tonight.
When we had that red I was
really concerned about the car
vapor locking. It hasn't vapor
locked, but it happened to Otto
at the Hy-Miler. I was thinking
about the whole time. I was
hoping it would restart and I
was very happy when it did. It
