Dave Shullick Jr., Michael Muldoon Aim To Close Out Triple Crown Championships At Star Classic Finale

Story By: DAN KAPUSCINSKI / TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES – OSWEGO, NY – Dave Shullick Jr. and Michael Muldoon are in prime position to serve as Shea Concrete Triple Crown Championship Series champions this season, presented by ASI Racewear, with only the ISMA Supermodified Star Classic 150 remaining on the schedule this Saturday, September 9.

Coming off a $15,000 pay day as the winner of Oswego Speedway’s Budweiser International Classic 200 last Sunday night, Shullick holds a commanding lead in the TCCS Bentley Warren Driver of the Year standings wheeling both the John Nicotra Racing No. 2 and the Bodnar Motorsports No. 95.

Shullick currently leads Muldoon by 105-points in the standings before the double point Star Classic.

Muldoon is 51-points better than third place riding Tim Jedrzejek, who is currently running the highest he has all season in the Driver of the Year points, after sharing rides between Lane Racing and Danzer Racing in 2017.

Otto Sitterly and Dave McKnight currently round out the top five money paying positions in the Driver of the Year points with Star on deck.

The TCCS Jim Shampine Supermodified of the Year points are slightly closer with Muldoon Racing showing the way using their No. 15. An 8th place run in the International Classic has Muldoon showing a 77-point edge on the Morton Racing No. 70, driven by Dave McKnight.

Despite issues this season, 12th place finishes in all three of the double point Classic events to this point in the season have Morton and McKnight in position to sneak up on Muldoon in the race for the title. The Morton team holds a slim 28-point advantage on third place running Team Abold Motorsports.

The Abold No. 05 was in a good position during last Sunday’s International Classic, but contact forced the No. 05 out of the event. As a result, Abold and team are at a disadvantage heading to Star, and only lead fourth place running Penix Racing by 7-points.

Penix Racing was also forced out of the Oswego Classic due to contact, and may not make the trip to Star this weekend.

Snyder Racing will look to take advantage of a missing Penix No. 14, as they currently ride 5th in the Supermodified of the Year championship with Gosek Racing and Danzer Racing hoping to find a way into the top five.
