Two in
a Row for Schatz at Princeton: Earns 15th Win of 2008
Princeton,
MN— October 4, 2008—With the success that Donny Schatz has had at
Princeton Speedway, it’s hard to believe that the first time he competed
at the high-banked ¼-mile located in Minnesota was in 2004, when the
Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series made their debut at
the track. After all, the two-time defending World of Outlaws champion cut
his teeth racing in the Upper Midwest, including at a number of tracks in
the state of Minnesota, where he now has nine victories.
A
dominating performance on Saturday night in the PolyDome Princeton
National that saw him lead all 40 laps, earned Schatz his second
consecutive victory at the track, becoming the first driver to claim two
A-Feature wins at the high-banked bullring with the series. Schatz’s 15th
A-Feature win of the season was worth $10,000 and was the 85th
of his career with the World of Outlaws, as he closes in on his third
consecutive series title.
“Princeton
has been good to me,” he said after the win. “We’ve had a lot of fun
here. I’m glad to get to Victory Lane again. It’s always good. These
guys have definitely worked hard. They eat, sleep, breath and drink this
race team and this race car. They definitely deserved it. They have been
busting their tails.”
Schatz
lined up second and beat pole sitter Sam Hafertepe Jr. into the first turn
using the high side of the track to take the lead. He quickly pulled away
and a lap four caution came just before he was going to enter lapped
traffic. On the restart, he again charged to a comfortable lead and four
laps later he was in traffic. Schatz sliced his way through traffic,
extending his lead as he weaved his way through the slower machines, while
the rest of the front runner lost ground in lapped traffic.
“That
was one bad piece there in traffic,” he said with a smile as he pointed
to his car. “It could run the top, the middle and the bottom at the same
speed. That’s what its Achilles heel was. It’s good to have that and
that is how my cars always are. Ricky (Warner) keeps tuning these things
and fine tuning little things and finding things to make it better.
We’re in test mode for next year and it’s good to get a win in test
mode.”
Just
as Schatz was about to take the white flag in the Armor All J&J, the
final caution of the night flew, setting up a two-lap shootout for the
win, as Terry McCarl and Jac Haudenschild lined up behind him. On the
restart, Schatz easily pulled away en route to winning by nearly two
seconds.
“I
just had to do my job and not worry about who was back there and what they
are going to do,” shared the winner of his plan on the final restart.
“I made a wing adjustment on the last yellow and maybe should have made
one a little earlier. We were good. We just had to keep the tires
underneath us and keep the speed up.”
With
the win, Schatz extended his lead in the World of Outlaws championship
standings to 123 points over Jason Meyers with seven events remaining on
the 2008 schedule. Schatz leads the series with 54 Top-10 finishes in the
57 A-Feature events that have been contested this season.
“We’re
trying to win a championship here, but we are also testing for next
year,” explained the North Dakota native. “We’re doing some
different things, package-wise. Maybe that is something that has hurt us
in the last couple of weeks and maybe it’s what helped us win here
tonight. That’s all part of the game. We’re finishing this year, but
also looking ahead to next year. That’s the fun part.”
Terry
McCarl, who won his first race of the season on September 24 at Orange
County Fair Speedway in New York, finished second on Saturday night in the
Big Game Treestands Maxim to pick up his third consecutive Top-Five finish
and seventh consecutive Top-10. He started fourth and charged around both
Sam Hafertepe Jr. and Tony Bruce Jr. in turns one and two on the opening
lap.
“You
never like to finish second, but we have been getting very consistent with
our runs and that’s the key to racing a 100 nights a year out here,”
noted McCarl. “Our team is really coming together. I can’t say enough
about how hard they have been working. I’m excited. We’re getting
better and better and my confidence is growing each night.”
McCarl
lined up right behind Schatz on the final restart and had his hands full
with a hard charging Jac Haudenschild behind him, who was using the high
line as the pair battled for the second spot. McCarl fended off
Haudenschild’s challenge to earn his four career Top-10 finish at
Princeton Speedway.
“I
couldn’t do much in (turns) one and two,” he stated. “I was just too
loose in one and two from the word go. We were really good in three and
four. You needed to move up, especially in traffic. I didn’t have a
whole lot for him unless he made a mistake and Donny doesn’t make too
many mistakes. On the second to last yellow we stayed with him really
good.”
McCarl,
who has been one of the most consistent drivers over the last three weeks
with the World of Outlaws, is excited for the final seven races of this
season and is already gearing up for next season. Since Tod Quiring
assumed ownership of McCarl’s team, the six-time Knoxville Raceway and
Huset’s Speedway track champion has been in contention for a number of
wins.
“Tod
and Lisa Quiring my car owners were here this weekend, so it’s great to
run good in front of them,” McCarl said. “Tod is such a great
organizer. Now that he has taken over, I can’t be happier. I look for
bigger and better things for the rest of the season.”
Jac
Haudenschild used the high side of the track for a majority of the race to
charge from the eighth starting spot to finish third in the Owens-Corning
Fiberglass Maxim. He had a spirited battled late in the race with 2001
World of Outlaws champion Danny Lasoski, trading the third spot with him a
number of times. He began the night by setting fast time in qualifying for
the third time this season.
“The
car was good tonight,” said the veteran driver. “Leonard (Lee) has it
running fast. We were pretty close again tonight. We were fast all
night.”
On the
final restart, with two laps to go, Haudenschild again looked to the high
side of the track as he looked for a way around McCarl. He got even with
him coming off the second turn but could not quite make a pass. He then
held off a last lap challenge from Lasoski for the third spot.
“I
wanted to be up top on the restart,” he said. “The bottom went away at
the end. I tried everything I could to catch those guys. It was a good run
for the team. I’m glad to be driving this R19 car this year.”
Lasoski
finished fourth in his own Todd Creason Pipeline Construction JEI. He
started sixth and lost a couple of spots early in the race before working
his way back into the Top-Five. Just past the halfway point of the 40-lap
event he got around Jason Meyers to move into third. He would end up
battling Haudenschild for most of the remainder of the contest.
Meyers finished fifth in the GLR Investments KPC to earn his series best
44th Top-Five finish of the season, as he continues to chase
his first World of Outlaws championship.
Steve
Kinser, the 20-time World of Outlaws champion turned in a masterful
performance on Saturday night coming all the way from the 20th
starting spot to finish sixth in the Q Oil Maxim, to earn the KSE Race
Products Hard Charger Award.
Joey
Saldana was seventh in the Budweiser/Open Joist Mopar-powered JEI, with
Paul McMahan in eighth driving the Casey’s General Stores Maxim. Daryn
Pittman worked his way from 18th to ninth aboard the Titan
Garages Maxim, with Chad Kemenah rounding out the Top-10 in the Kantor Oil
Company Maxim.
The
Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series returns to action on
Saturday, October 11 and Sunday, October 12 at Hollywood Hills Speedway in

Kinser Claims Inaugural World of Outlaws Event at North Central Speedway
Brainerd,
MN— October 3, 2008—Kraig Kinser used a little bit of every element
that is important to winning a race on Friday night, in the Advance Auto
Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series inaugural event at North Central
Speedway in Brainerd, Minnesota.
He
used a strong start to gain a spot on the opening lap to move into third,
and then was patient as the leaders hit lapped traffic early in the race.
He also used some perseverance as he battled Lucas Wolfe for a number of
laps for the second position. In addition to this, he had a little luck in
his side as Joey Saldana had mechanical trouble while leading, which gave
him the top spot. Lastly and probably the most important, his car
continued to get faster as the race wore on, especially in lapped traffic,
which helped him ultimately pick up his second A-Feature win of the
season.
The
$10,000 victory was the ninth of his career with the Advance Auto Parts
World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and his second this season aboard the
Bass Pro Shops Maxim for Tony Stewart Racing.
“It
feels good,” Kinser said. “We had a really good car all night. I am
happy for this whole Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet team. We were a little off
in the dash, but we found what we needed for the feature. We’re back on
track and it feels really good.”
Kraig
Kinser started fourth and got around his father, 20-time World of Outlaws
champion Steve Kinser on the first lap, both on the initial start and the
complete restarted that was necessitated after an opening lap accident
involving Chad Kemenah and Danny Lasoski.
After
battling Wolfe for a number of laps, Kraig Kinser dove under him exiting
the fourth turn on the 19th lap, making the pass for the second
spot right before the pair crossed the start finish line, the same lap
that Saldana’s night would come to an end while leading. The pass then
became the deciding factor in the race.
“I
know that Lucas (Wolfe) wants to get that win,” the younger Kinser said.
“I caught him in traffic and got by and then Joey (Saldana) broke.
Having clean track helped, but I think I was a little better than Lucas in
traffic anyway. I wasn’t sure if I had beaten Lucas back to the line
(before the caution) and had to make sure that I was leading,”
Kinser
began the night by winning the third heat race to earn a spot in the Crane
Cams Dash in his debut at the track. He finished fourth in the dash to
earn a second row starting spot for the 35-lap contest. He led the
final 16 laps of the race en route to the win.
“It
does equalize it a little bit (when everyone visits a track for the first
time), but these guys are the best in the country for a reason,”
explained the third generation driver. “They adapt really well and
really quick. It wasn’t going to be a total advantage for anyone. If the
car is rolling well you’re going to be quick.”
Wolfe
led the first seven laps of the race, and was out front on the initial
start and the complete restart. He wound up second in the Allebach Racing
Maxim to earn his second consecutive runner-up finish as he chases his
first World of Outlaws win. Wolfe has started on the front row in three
consecutive events and now has eight Top-10 finishes this season, with two
consecutive runner-up performances.
“We’ve
been running good, and I think we have consistently been running good for
about the last 10 races or so,” said Wolfe. “We are up where we need
to be and are continuing to improve. This is our best result on a tight
track of this nature. We are getting better at that, and those are all
good things for the future.”
Early
in the race, Wolfe jumped out to about a six car length lead over Saldana
before the leaders entered lapped traffic on the sixth lap. They were
nearly three-wide with a lapped car as they came off the fourth turn on
the fifth lap. On the eighth lap, Saldana dove under Wolfe exiting turn
four in heavy traffic to take the lead. Wolfe fought back and retook the
lead heading into turns one and two, with Saldana reclaiming the top spot
as the duo motored down the back straightaway.
“We
are racing good guys up there,” said the first-year driver. “I was
able to beat Joey (Saldana) off the start and got to lapped first, which
isn’t always a good thing. He was able to get me, and we just weren’t
quite good enough in lapped traffic. We just didn’t make the right move
at the right time. Kraig (Kinser) was able to then get me on the bottom
right after that. I’m happy to be racing with those guys and hopefully
we can do that for the remainder of the season.”
The
final caution of the night flew with seven laps remaining, giving Wolfe
one more shot to make a run at Kinser. He looked low in turns one and two
on the restart and nearly pulled even with the leader, but was not quite
able to make a pass.
“I
figured with seven laps to go we wouldn’t get back into traffic
again,” the native of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania said. “I got a
restart with about 16 to go and got around the bottom pretty good and it
wasn’t as good on top. I thought if he got up there a little bit, that
it may open the door, but he was able to momentum around me. I got up to
him, but wasn’t able to get by him.”
Steve
Kinser finished third in the Q Oil Maxim, to earn his 28th
Top-Five finish of the season. He challenged his son a couple of times
early in the race for the third position, before falling back a little bit
while running fourth. He too gained a spot when Saldana fell out of the
race.
“I
didn’t quite have enough on that last restart to catch them,” he said.
“I didn’t get the restart I wanted. I had a good seat to watch that
race up there between those guys.”
Terry
McCarl finished fourth aboard the Big Game Treestands Maxim to pick up his
26th Top-10 finish of the season. Kerry Madsen was fifth in the
TK Concrete Maxim to earn his 36th Top-10 finishes of the
season.
Paul
McMahan started 11th after racing his way into the A-Feature by
winning the B-Main, and wound up sixth in the Casey’s General Stores
Maxim. Donny Schatz finished seventh aboard the Armor All J&J. Jason
Meyers, who started the night by setting a new track record in time trials
en route to his 13th quick time honor of the season was eighth
on Friday night in the GLR Investments KPC.
Jac
Haudenschild was ninth in the Owens-Corning Fiberglass Maxim. Chad Kemenah
battled his way to a 10th place showing in the Kantor Oil
Company Maxim, after getting caught up in a first lap accident that sent
him to the work area for a new front axle which ultimately put him at the
back of the field for the complete restart.
The
