  A Legendary Weekend with the PIRTEK UMSS

  Nights 1 and 2 of the Legendary 100 is all about qualifying and getting the best starting position possible for the feature race for all the marbles on Saturday night. The PIRTEK UMSS would have both the winged and traditional sprint cars compete through the weekend providing fans with all of the excitement and fabulous racing they are accustomed to seeing with this group. Night 1 qualifying would have Scott Brandt laying down quick time and a new track record for the series in the traditional sprints. The feature on night one would see Nick DaRonco steal the lead from Brandt with just 3 laps to go in the 18 lap feature grabbing the pole for the big dance on Saturday. Chase Viebrock would also set quick time and break the track record in the winged division. Chase would start the race from the cat bird seat and take the checkers cementing the pole for Saturday's main event. Night 2 qualifying would see Jake Kouba setting the quick time during the traditional sprint qualifying landing him on the pole. It would be Blake Anderson though on a mission from the fourth starting position who would take the checkers setting him up for an outside pole start in Saturdays feature. Chase Viebrock would break his own track record and set quick time on Friday night giving him the pole in the Friday night feature where he was able to once again keep out front for the win. New Richmond, WI, September 18, 2021 by: Terry Lenhertz The Pirtek Renegades wrapped up their season Saturday as part of the annual Legendary 100 at Cedar Lake Speedway. With two nights of qualifying and preliminary features completed, all that remained for Saturday was a pair of 20-lap features in each division to put a bow on 2021. First up was the Traditional sprints, with preliminary feature winners Nick DaRonco and Blake Anderson pacing the Reaction Time Sports Podcast lineup. DaRonco was strong early at the point, with fifth starting Mike Mueller making the low groove work, Anderson in the middle and Cam Schafer up high in the battle for second. Surprising no one, Schafer pushed off what little cushion there was to secure second and quickly reeled in DaRonco. Proving his versatility, Schafer crossed under DaRonco at the flagstand on lap six to take over the point. The caution-free event saw the laps tick off with 2021's winningest drivers exploiting their favorite lines in a duel for the win - Schafer throttle stomping and flying high, Mueller smooth and methodical running the catfish line. Mueller's patience and perfection began paying dividends as the laps dwindled, as the two were in a dead heat with five laps to go. With just three circuits remaining the Stacy Slugger took his #87 mount to the point, sticking like glue to the low line and leaving a mad scramble between Schafer, DaRonco and Anderson for second. At the double checkers, Mueller claimed his fourth sticker of the summer and the second UMSS points championship of his career as he parked in Rock Auto victory lane. DaRonco emerged from the final mad dash as the runner-up, ahead of Anderson, Schafer, and Bryan Roach. When the Pirtek winged warriors emerged for their finale, it was 2021 champion Chase Viebrock on the pin and Mark Chevalier to his starboard side. Chevalier proved strong early, grabbing the lead over Viebrock and catching lapped traffic already by lap six. While the lead group of Chevalier, Viebrock, Luke Nellis, Brad Peterson, and Owen Carlson worked through traffic, Chevalier's advantage began to shrink. As the leaders diced through heavy traffic on the front stretch on lap eight, Viebrock made his move to take over the top spot. A pair of cautions near the half-way point allowed Peterson to pick his way forward on the subsequent restarts, first by Nellis and Brady Donnohue, and later around Chevalier for second. But up front, The New Richmond Nightmare was putting on another clinic in domination. As the top three of Viebrock, Peterson and Chevalier stretched out a bit, Jeremy Kerzman, Nellis and Donnohue were taking part in spirited slicing and dicing to settle the battle for fourth. After 20 laps, for the eleventh time this season, it was the #50 of Chase Viebrock visiting Rock Auto victory lane. The win also cemented Viebrock's QualityFreightRate.com points championship in record setting fashion - the eleven win total was two more than had ever been notched in a single season during the history of the winged division of the Pirtek Renegades/Upper Midwest Sprintcar Series. Following Viebrock across the stripe were Peterson, Chevalier, Kerzman, Donnohue and Nellis. The final event on the Pirtek Renegade calendar will be the Arrive-and-Drive at Cedar Lake Speedway, on Saturday, October 2. The arrive-and-drive/practice session will be preceded by a Renegade Academy classroom instruction session in the Cedar Lake indoor arena, co-hosted by the Pirtek and Northern Renegades. The academy is free of charge and open to all skill levels, from novice through veteran drivers. The behind the wheel arrive-and-drive portion of the event incurs a $10/lap charge. Officials from the Pirtek Renegades extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the drivers, crews, fans, host tracks, and safety professionals for their contributions to a successful and enjoyable 2021 season. We also wish you a safe and productive off-season and look forward to sharing the race tracks with you again in 2022.

  Cam Schafer makes his 40th career visit to Rock Auto Victory Lane in Jackson, MN

  After heavy rains forced the cancellation of Friday's opening night of the weekend at Jackson Motorplex, a hearty 18 teams checked in to do battle for the revised opener of the Labor Day weekend. The Pirtek Renegades teamed up with the Mid-American Renegades for the first of three nights of traditional sprint car action. The Renegades shared the ticket with MSTS 360 sprints for the C & B Operations Power Series Nationals. Jake Kouba raced to the win in the first ten lap qualifier and Cam Schafer scored the win in the second heat while also racking up the most passing points, 158, charging up from seventh. After the redraw, it was Schafer and Mike Mueller pacing the Reaction Time Sports podcast lineup to green for the twenty lap feature, with Schafer squirting to the point into the first set of turns. With the field mostly sticking low, Schafer pulled a bit of a cushion over the battle for second between Mueller and Kouba. Early on, the battle for fifth was the busiest, between Jeremy Kerzman, Brian Van Meveren, Nick DaRonco and Bryan Roach. Lap nine saw the caution fly as Van Meveren rolled to a stop on the front stretch - giving up fifth place, and fourth running Jon Lewerer left the race after clipping an infield implement tire on the restart. Back under green, Schafer resumed his race dominance ahead of Mueller, Kouba, DaRonco and Roach. DaRonco was one of the few cars running a higher groove and Roach was able to briefly sneak under him for fourth, but the Britt, Minnesota chauffeur stuck to his high groove guns and quickly reclaimed the position. At the checkers, Schafer nabbed his eleventh Pirtek sticker of the summer and twelfth overall, including his Mid-American Renegade win in July. The eleventh win extends Schafer's historic record for most UMSS wins in a single season, and also his Renegade record of 40 career visits to Rock Auto victory lane. Mueller continued his season-long trend of podium finishes as the runner-up, his twelfth finish in the top three to go with three wins. DaRonco made his high groove pay off, nipping Kouba at the line for third with Roach completing the top five. In other Renegade action, the Western and Northern Renegades converged at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks on Friday, with Adam Sobolik claiming the win. On Saturday, the Western Renegades trekked deeper into North Dakota where Sobolik picked up another win, his ninth of the season, at Devils Lake Speedway. The Northern Renegades turned north on Saturday to Greenbush Race Park, where Paul Schultz claimed his fourth victory of the season. The Pirtek/Mid-American weekend series continues Sunday and Monday night in Brandon, South Dakota as they once again join the 360s for the Power Series Nationals at Huset's Speedway.
