Losing Allen came amid a tough time on the racetrack for Schuchart. He hadn’t won in over four months at the time, and that carried over into May of this season. But on Saturday night at Eldora Speedway, Schuchart finally scored an emotional triumph in the Shark Racing No. 1S in honor of his grandfather.
