SCHMIDT AND GOLDEN
STATE RACING SWEEP TWIN 44S AT ROSEVILLE

 

ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA. (April
 26, 2010) – Veteran
Eric Schmidt won both 44 lap features Saturday night at All American Speedway
in Roseville, Calif. driving the Golden State Racing / Legacy Pools Chevrolet
before a large crowd at the one-third mile asphalt oval.

 

Schmidt
came into the event on the heels of a win in the Spring Classic 100 at Stockton
99 in mid-March. The 2007 All American Speedway and 2006
SRL SPEARS Southwest Tour champion faced one of the toughest fields seen at All
American Speedway since the track was remodeled in the offseason before
2006.

 

“The car
was pretty good,�?? Schmidt said. “It is tough because when you are running these
twin races you have to leave something for the second race.�??

 

After
qualifying second quick behind 2009 track champion Jason Romero, he started the
first feature seventh out of 17 entries.

 

Schmidt
navigated the field quickly and took the lead from Ron Chunn on lap 12. He
lapped many cars throughout the race and held off track points leader Michael
Self to win the feature.

 

He spun
an invert of six for the second 44 and that race proved to be the race of the
year. Coming from sixth, Schmidt engaged the top-three by lap 10. An extremely
exciting two-by-two battle between the top-four cars went on for ten straight
laps, with Schmidt biding his time.

 

The pack
broke up on lap 21 when Michael Self crashed into the turn one wall, and on lap
31 Schmidt roared into second past Matt Scott.

 

Heading
to the finish, Schmidt ran right on the bumper of Bobby Grewohl. Schmidt and
Grewohl had one of the best battles in speedway history in October 2008 with
Grewohl getting the best of that duel. This time around, Schmidt made the
decisive race-winning pass on lap 41 to sweep the features on the evening.

 

The next
event for Golden State Racing is to be announced. Sponsorship opportunities are
available with multi-time champion Eric Schmidt behind the wheel.
