Ben Schaller enjoyed a strong weekend in his Fleetmark Solutions No. 98 Hinze Chiropractic/ MB Customs/ Schaller Racing Engines & Shocks Super Late Model. After racing to a second-place finish in Saturday night’s Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing Series (SLMRS) event at Shelby County Speedway, the Nebraska racer bolted to the feature win on Sunday evening at I-80 Speedway.
The victory marked his third of the 2019 campaign.
“Last weekend at the Yankee [Dirt Track Classic] didn’t go as well as we had hoped from a finish standpoint. Fortunately, some of the things that we tried there that seemed to work, also helped us out this weekend,” Schaller said. “It was nice to feel like we had some speed again because it felt like we weren’t really making any progress the last couple of races. We were able to stay out of trouble Saturday and just plain had a fast car on Sunday when we got the win. Hopefully there is something that we can carry into the next couple of weeks.”

Saturday night found Ben Schaller in action at Shelby County Speedway (Harlan, Iowa), where he went into battle with the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Series. In a field of 34 cars, Schaller laid down the fastest lap in time trials before placing fourth in his heat race.
