Schultz doubles up in Lucas Oil Speedway's Spring Nationals


WHEATLAND, Mo.—Terry Schultz of Sedalia won the USRA Modified main event for the second night in a row Saturday on the final night of the 3rd Annual Lucas Oil Spring Nationals presented by RacingJunk.com.

Schultz passed Jason Pursley for the lead on the 17th lap after the two dueled for several laps with Schultz working the outside cushion and Pursley hugging the inside line.

Pursley, of Hermitage, slipped to third behind Darron Fuqua of Mayetta, Kan., in the final laps. Jon Sheets of Nevada was fourth with NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader of Concord, N.C., fifth.

"Me and Pursley had a good race going on," Schultz said. "There's no one better to race with than him."

Racing resumes next Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway with opening night of the 13-event Budweiser Weekly Championship Series presented by KOZL 27.
