MADISON, Wis. (June 23, 2017) -- Austin Theriault didn't have the best car in the beginning, but his Ken Schrader Racing crew got it right for the most important part. Theriault, in the No. 52 Federated Auto Parts Toyota, held off a hard charge from Zane Smith in the end to win the Montgomery Ward 200 Friday night at Madison Int'l Speedway. Theriault also increased his ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards championship points lead and added his third win of the season, and fourth of his career.
"We don't always have the fastest car at the beginning, but this team races smart," said Theriault. "We were good when it counted."
Theriault hovered in the top-five for most of the race but got the car adjusted to his liking just in time to lead the final 35 laps and fend off whoever took a run at the eventual winner.
"You gotta take what the car gives you. We lost positions in the beginning but we stayed consistent and we didn't drive over our heads. We kept ourselves in position the whole race and went when we could. Whoever had the track position was going to win this. Really proud of all these guys on this Ken Schrader Racing team…they race really smart." >>READ MORE |
