Rusty Schlenk

Schlenk gets top 5 at Eldora with heavy competition!

Is the world a ump points race? And if Pierce runs the ump fall nationals at eldora can he still win ump title?

Rusty looked good! He was up to 4th from starting 13th with one to go side by side with Feger. He had that CJ1 looking good!

Rusty isn't going to the World. He wants the UMP National Points title again. So he is racing Missouri and Illinois this weekend. Hes only 44 points ahead of Unzicker.

That's too bad, he's got some momentum going, but I understand. I think the World use to be a UMP event, but #PowersThatBe have no respect or time for tradition.

I'm a fan of Rusty. Been watching him on DOD since day 1 in the Rayburn car. Car looks much better as far as shocks and springs now than early in the season. I think Rusty in the right equipment is a threat

Highwayman its still a UMP race. I think he just feels he can replace some finishes with better ones by going out west to race this weekend.

Smart move on his part. What's your problem with it? Is your name on the car?

Highwayman, its still a UMP race.(referring to World 100) I think he just feels he can replace some finishes with better ones by going out west to race this weekend.

The other poster was commenting to me, "Highwayman" not you. We both thought it smart that Schlenk was passing on Eldora to chase points title.

Fifth in the Baltes Classic....nice

[ThebigE]

I think he is also running for ALMS points... If so, Jon Henry will be at Eldora for the World and he is leading the ALMS right now over Schlenk who is 52 points behind.

Rusty gets win #19 tonight in Farmington, MO.

Truly incredible what rusty has done this year. Eldora must not be awarding ump points all three nights like they have in the past.

[ThebigE]

Yes, they are rewarding UMP points all 3 nights. It's that Unzicker is 2nd in UMP points and he's out in the midwest racing so Rusty had to follow suit. Some might say he's "cherry pickin" but I call it paying the bills trying to win a $20,000 points payout.

Very well put. People who call, "Cherry Picking" aren't paying the bills. Just like the Red Barron, you want to be successful you choose the fights you think you can win, not to show off your balls.
