After a weekend that presented many challenges, Hayden Schultz was able to continue his run of podium finishes in Twins Cup competition at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. Coming into a weekend with no previous experience at the circuit, Schultz would have to learn the track quickly. After a promising start, Hayden would find himself at the top of qualifying until the last minutes. In an effort to regain pole position for the race, Schultz went back on track and pushed for a faster lap. He would not be able to top his previous time after suffering a high side crash that left him, and the bike battered. A team effort would be required from the Brittenum Construction / Law Tigers / Hayden Schultz Racing crew to get the bike repaired in time for the Sunday afternoon race. Fortunately, Schultz would escape the crash without any injuries that would keep him from racing. With a front row start, Schultz would manage to continue his podium streak with a lonely 3 rd place ride in the race.

“It was quite the weekend at Pittsburgh. I learned a new track and got up to speed quickly. My team worked hard to give me a great bike and we found we had the pace to run up front,” Schultz said. “In qualifying I found myself so close to pole that I had to push and unfortunately found the edge. I am blessed to walk away from that crash and able to race. Gene Burcham, Gary Jeffries, and Russell and Ron “Dink” Glidden are the best crew I could ask for and worked overtime to get the bike together for the race. I am happy to finish on the podium after that crash, but I feel like I had more than I showed in the race. I know we can battle with Rocco and Kaleb for wins, but I have to keep working hard to get there. My team and sponsors are incredible and have given me a great program, I’ll be doing my all to get that first win.”

The team was also joined by Twins Cup Veteran Jim Whitten. Jim would be making his season debut
with the team after competing in the full series in 2019. After progressing in each session, Jim qualified
for the race and finish in 24 th in the race.

The team thanks its 2020 sponsors for their support: Law Tigers, Brittenum Construction, aRacer USA,
