Team Full Throttle Driver Development racer Andrew Schartner was caught up in a thirteen car bone-jarring crash in Friday’s ESDCA Mod-Lite Feature at Brewerton Speedway that left his sharp looking blue racer heavily damaged. After working nearly around the clock from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon to bring the car back to life, the 17-year old and his team loaded up and headed to the Utica-Rome Speedway where he overcame ignition problems to finish a very satisfying third.
“I’m amazed we even were able to get to the track today, let alone finish third, ” the exhausted racer said Sunday night. “If you weren’t at Brewerton on Friday you just cannot understand how bad that wreck was. It was like something out of Talladega Nights or something. I got hit so many times I lost count. They weren’t towing cars off with flat tires or a broken shock; they were towing cars off that had nothing left straight on them.”
“I got out of my car on the track and looked around, and it looked like a junkyard. We replaced so many things on this race car it’s shocking it ran like it did. We had problems with the electronics earlier today and it wouldn’t run, and here we are with a third. I can’t thank my dad enough. He worked so hard to get me to this race. Third is a win today. ”
