Racing Recap
CASEY JOHNSON WINS the ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL at JEFFERSON SPEEDWAY
Super Late Models
Lighting can strike twice in the same place. Casey Johnson, Edgerton parlayed a second place finish in the first 61 lap Super Late Model feature and a third place in the second feature to win his second Orange Blossom Special in two years. Johnson remarked that winning the race named after Wisconsin racing legend Jerry Eckhardt was one of his truly special moments in his racing career.
Johnson came from the sixth row to challenge Paul Schafer jr., Portage Indiana, for the final 20 laps of the first 61 lap feature event. Johnson pulled along-side Schafer repeatedly in the final laps but was not able to take the win. Jason Erickson, Jefferson took third, Jordan Devoy, Lake Geneva, fourth, Schaun Scheel, Lake Mills fifth, and Max Kahler, Caledonia IL., sixth.
Schafer and Johnson started side by side in the second feature event. The pair battled toward the front with both making bold moves while in intense traffic. Johnson managed to work his way up to third place while Schafer got caught in traffic. The event was won by Will Rece, Stoughton, with Jason Erickson Second, Casey Johnson third, Schaun Scheel fourth, Clayton Storey fifth, and Schafer sixth.
Johnson and Erickson tied in the overall finishing positions with Johnson winning the tie breaker due to his faster qualifying time. Schafer finished third overall with Rece fourth and Schaun Scheel fifth.
