#23 Schampa Trophy Kart driver Phil Wenzel takes the checkered flag in Anahiem

Anahiem, California- The #23 Schampa Trophy Kart driven by Phil Wenzel took the checkered flag at the Monster Jam event on Saturday January 26th. Wenzel’s day started with a 2 ½ hour long pit party and autograph signing with the monster truck drivers and other Trophy Kart kids. Wenzel said “I never got a break from the fans. I had kids and even some parents getting in my trophy kart, but I was careful so they wouldn’t scratch that big Schampa sticker on my hood.” Wenzel says he thought it was pretty cool when parents asked him to be in their pictures.

Phil Wenzel took the last draw for starting positions and ended up getting number 1. Wenzel did a pace lap and lined up on top of a huge table top jump measuring 51 feet high and 14 feet wide. When the checkered flag dropped, Wenzel’s engine bogged down and he lost 5 spots before turn 1. Jake White’s #41 Monster Energy Trophy Kart grabbed the whole shot and took the lead.. On Lap 2 Wenzel’s #23 Schampa Trophy Kart was on White’s tail. White went wide and Wenzel took the inside line passing the #41 taking the Trophy Kart win! This was Phil Wenzel’s first race working with his new crew chief and spotter, Sgt. Steve Baty. “He did pretty good for his first time as my spotter” said Wenzel. The next stop for the #23 Schampa Technical Wear Trophy Kart will be in two weeks in Pomona at the NHRA Winternationals. Look for Phil Wenzel signing autographs and taking pictures at the Mechanixwear booth.
