Haudenschild ends 21-race skid, earns 48th career win in Plymouth

Sheldon Haudenschild turned an emotional personal loss into a comeback victory at the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car feature at Plymouth Dirt Track in Plymouth, Wisconsin. Haudenschild learned his dog, Pella, had died the morning of the race, and he broke a 21-race winless streak with a win that was his second of the season and the 48th of his career. The triumph produced a visibly emotional response from Haudenschild. Haudenschild rallied from as low as eighth during the 35-lap feature, charging forward to pass Michael “Buddy” Kofoid with five laps remaining to take the lead. The decisive stretch came during a seven-lap shootout that followed after David Gravel clipped a rut in Turn 4, slammed the Big Game Motorsports No. 2 into the wall and suffered severe rear-end damage that ended his night. Kofoid finished second for his 11th podium of the season. Garet Williamson scored his best result of the year in third and extended his streak to four straight top-10s. Cole Macedo finished fourth and Carson Macedo was fifth, with the race run before a record crowd at Plymouth Dirt Track.
