55th National Short Track Championships
National Short Track Championship Super Late Model 200
“Kahler’s Dream Became A Reality”
“I never imagined waking up out of bed and winning the National Short Track Championship” 17 year old Max Kahler said as he couldn’t believe he had just won the NSTC 200. 16 cars would show up to race for a payout of $5000.00 to the winner. There were several cautions in this race. One of them is when the 45 of Kyle Shear had hit a streak of oil on the track put down by another car and him riding on the wall in turns 3 and 4. Most of the race saw battles for the lead with Alex Prunty and Austin Nason, as these drivers would beat and bang throughout the race. Casey Johnson, a 2 time NSTC winner, ended up having a shortened day after something broke in his rear end with 74 laps remaining. Rich Bickle had completed all but 75 laps as his car’s radiator would end up having issues and not being able to continue. With 1 lap remaining Max Kahler and Dale Nottestad would battle for the lead and in turns 1 and 2 Nottestad was pushed up high as Kahler went by him. Michael Bilderback was also able to sneak by and it was Kahler crossing the finish line first. After the race Dale Nottestad did not pass post race tech. Top 10 1. Kahler 2. Bilderback 3. Nason 4.
