Chillicothe, Ohio -- For the first time since September 4, 2020, “The Steel City Outlaw” Tim Shaffer is a Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 feature winner, snapping his draught in round six of Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket at Atomic Speedway in Chillicothe, Ohio. The win, commemorating the life and achievements of legendary sprint car crew chief, George Fisher, secured Shaffer a $6,000 payday, bumping his career All Star win total to 68, two of which occurring on the highbanks of Atomic Speedway.

The Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, native led all 30 circuits of the 2nd Annual George Fisher Memorial, maintaining patience through four cautions, periods of lapped traffic, and relentless pressure from Seeling Motorsports’ J.J. Hickle. Despite the occasional distraction, the only real scare for Shaffer occurred on lap 29, as the former Knoxville Nationals champion tapped the turn four wall and nearly lost control. Without saying, the open wheel veteran hung on to win.

Hickle, celebrating his best-ever finish with the All Star Circuit of Champions, finished second, followed by Justin Peck, Cole Duncan, and current Ohio Sprint Speedweek points leader, Zeb Wise.

Winning Quote From Tim Shaffer

“This one is for George Fisher. He was a great friend from back in the day who helped me. This one also goes out to my mother. She told me ‘enough messing around…just get it done already.’”
