Schartner Shows the Way in Race of Champions SBS Main

OSWEGO, NY – Andrew Schartner proved the outside does work at Oswego Speedway, passing four cars in four laps on the high side, before cutting under Mike Bruce on the next circuit to score his first Pathfinder Bank SBS Series main of 2012 as a part of the 62nd annual SUNOCO Race of Champions on Friday evening.

Bruce took the lead away from front row starter David LaTulip early on and held on to the top spot until Schartner charged by on the low side of turn three on the races 35th lap.

Prior to taking the lead Schartner used the outside to breeze past Cameron Rowe, JJ Andrews, Bernys, and LaTulip in consecutive laps.  Schartner, who travels from Charlotte, NC weekly to run at Oswego would then hold off the advances of Brian Sobus and AJ Bernys in the final stages of the 50-lap main event.

Bruce and LaTulip would complete the Top 5 ahead of Rob Pullen, Andrews, Dalton Doyle, Josh Kerr, and Mike Bond.

Championship contender Kreig Heroth, driver of the No. 04, did not start the main event due to a blown motor.
