Taylor Scheffler is KING!

Wilmot, Wisconsin - Taylor Scheffler was crowned King of The Diamond 43, presented by Diamond Jim's Steakhouse, the crown jewel of the 2021 DiscountShopTowels.com Dirt Kings Late Model Tour at Wilmot Raceway, an honor and tribute to Diamond Jim Letizia. Scheffler started third in the 43-lap race and followed Troy Springborn and Dennis Erb Jr. to the green flag. Erb Jr. took the lead and Springborn was in second as Scheffler, Nick Anvelink and Justin Reed followed. Caution slowed the field on lap seven and on the restart, Scheffler took the second position as he drove to the inside of Springborn. Erb Jr. held the lead and was pulling away from Scheffler and was beginning to lap cars by lap thirteen. At the halfway point, Erb had a half straightaway lead over Scheffler, followed by Reed, Springborn and Anvelink. Caution slowed the field one final time with seven laps to go. On the restart, Erb Jr. was out front with Scheffler in second spot with Reed and Anvelink side-by-side for third. With three laps to go, Scheffler made his move around the top side of Erb Jr., in turn two and took the lead going down the backstretch and held on to win The Diamond 43. Erb Jr was second followed by Anvelink, Reed and Brett Swedberg. Scheffler was crowned King in Mueller's Sales & Service Victory Lane after the race and said winning The Diamond 43 was the biggest win of his career, and his third DiscountShopTowels.com Dirt Kings Late Model Tour victory. Scheffler takes home a check for $4300 plus an additional $50 bonus from Tony Iczkowski, in memory of Diamond Jim Letizia.
