Nearly a clean sweep: Schatz wins again at River Cities Speedway By Tony Veneziano Richards Scores Again On Canadian Soil In Thursday Night's ‘Six Nations 50' At Ohsweken Speedway By Kevin Kovac World of Outlaws Preview: Nodak Speedway By Tony Veneziano Minot, ND—June 18, 2009—
A busy swing through the state of North Dakota wraps up on Sunday, June
21 at Nodak Speedway in Minot, as the World of Outlaws make their fourth
consecutive visit to the high-banked 3/8-mile located at the State
Fairgrounds. World of Outlaws Preview: Duel in the Dakotas at Red River Valley Speedway By Tony Veneziano West Fargo, ND—June 17,
2009—Since 1981, the World of Outlaws have visited Red River Valley
Speedway in West Fargo, North Dakota each and every year, and that
tradition will continue this weekend as the series heads to the
high-banked half-mile as part of the annual Duel in the Dakotas on
Saturday, June 20.
Back to his roots: Schatz geared up for three race swing
through his home state of North Dakota
By Tony Veneziano
Grand Forks, ND—June 17, 2009—North Dakota is not quite the sprint car hot bed that Central Pennsylvania, Ohio or California is, but that didn't matter to Donny Schatz as he was cutting his teeth and climbing the sprint car ladder in his home state beginning as a teenager. Growing up in Minot, he had a couple of different choices of where to race each week, the majority of those starts coming at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, along with River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks and even a couple at Nodak Speedway in his home town. He'll get a chance to visit all three tracks this weekend as the World of Outlaws make their first of two trips to North Dakota in 2009 this weekend. The trio of races kicks off with the Duel in the Dakotas at River Cities Speedway on Friday, June 19, followed by the finale of the annual event at Red River Valley Speedway on Saturday, June 20. The series will then head across the state to wrap up the weekend on Sunday, June 21 at Nodak Speedway. “It was a good place to grow up,” Schatz said of his home state. “On Friday nights, we got to either race Grand Forks or Fargo, depending on what the weather looked like. If one was raining we could always get to the other one, with them being just 70 miles apart. You would think with two tracks that close it would be spread pretty thin, but they had good racing at both. I was very fortunate to have that. I learned a lot of stuff racing around there and am glad that I had those opportunities. All the fans and the people that I met up there is pretty overwhelming to be able to go back and see them as an Outlaws champion.” Schatz will have plenty of home state fans supporting him on this weekend, many of whom have been following his career for the last 15-plus years, of which 12 have been spent on the road with the World of Outlaws. He will have five opportunities to race in home state this season with the series, including two separate visits to River Cities Speedway, with the first of those coming this weekend. “The fans that cheered me on there on a weekly basis are what helped propel me to where I am today,” noted the three-time and defending World of Outlaws champion and current point leader. “To be able to go back and race for them and sleep in my own bed for three nights is priceless. It's turned into a big event. It used to be just one stop and now its three different places in one weekend. That's pretty cool for the state of North Dakota and I'm glad to be a part of it.” Schatz's versatility will be tested this weekend as all three tracks on the docket are each very unique. He has won seven times this season aboard the Armor All J&J for Tony Stewart Racing, with six of those coming on half-miles. He also was victorious on a 3/8-mile and looks for his first win on a bullring this weekend at River Cities Speedway, where he was victorious last season. In his career, he has won 11 times at Red River Valley Speedway, twice at River Cities Speedway and twice at Nodak Speedway.
World of Outlaws Preview: Duel in the Dakotas at River Cities Speedway
By Tony Veneziano Grand Forks, ND—June 16, 2009—After the largest crowd in the history of River Cities Speedway saw the World of Outlaws do battle at the high-banked bullring last season, more history will be made in 2009, as the series will pay two separate visits to the track, with the first of those coming this Friday, June 19 as part of the annual Duel in the Dakotas. Donny Schatz, the three-time and defending series champion and North Dakota native, won at River Cities Speedway last season for the first time with the World of Outlaws, after Jason Meyers and Kerry Madsen got tangled up battling for the lead. Schatz inherited the lead at this point, which was lap 36. On the restart, he was passed by Craig Dollansky exiting turn four. He quickly battled back and on the very next lap shot around Dollansky coming off the second turn to take the lead and ultimately the win This all came after he recovered after a heat race accident relegated him to the B-Main after beginning the night by setting fast time. He won the B-Main handily and lined up 11th in the A-Feature event. Schatz enters this weekend's event with seven wins on the season and is the current series point leader. Joey Saldana who leads the World of Outlaws with 10 A-Feature wins this season was victorious at River Cities Speedway in the series debut at the track in 2007. He followed that up with a third-place performance last season. Danny Lasoski, the 2001 World of Outlaws champion, is a former winner at River Cities Speedway, as is Jac Haudenschild, who was recently inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. The Duel in the Dakotas will kick off on Thursday, June 18 with a Meet & Greet at the Canad Inns hotel located at 1000 South 42nd Street in Grand Forks, North Dakota from 6-8 p.m. Central. Drivers will be on-hand signing autographs and meeting with fans. Also, a number of the driver's merchandise trailers will be open for fans to purchase souvenirs.
Mars Edges Past Egersdorf in Exciting Finish at Cedar Lake Speedway
.jpg) New Richmond, WI by Greg Parent (6-13-09) Images: Jerry “Zimmy” Zimmer Jimmy Mars has certainly visited Victory Lane at the Cedar Lake Speedway many times in his career, but his win over Rick Egersdorf on Saturday night June 13 in the NASCAR Late Model division might have been his narrowest margin of victory yet. Aided by a caution with nine laps to go, Mars moved past Adam Hensel for second and began his race with Egersdorf for the lead over the next several laps. As the pair raced side-by-side to the checkers, Mars held off Egersdorf by about a foot for his third win of the season. Mars Stated in his post-race interview, "The crowd certainly got their money's worth tonight." A very accurate statement, as racing in the other NASCAR divisions was also entertaining. Prior to the exciting finish in the NASCAR Late Model feature race, Andy Jones topped a great three car battle in the late stages of the NASCAR Midwest Modified feature to gain his second CLS win in 2009. Cory Davis raced ahead of the field following a series of early cautions to post his first win of the season in NASCAR Pro Stock action. Reigning supreme for the fifth time in 2009, Darrell Nelson held off Ron Schreiner and Jason Miller in the NASCAR Modified main event. The quick-paced racing program saw a field of 106 cars sign into the pits on a fantastic late spring evening that turned cool when rain to the north of the track brought a change in temperature for a portion of the night. New clay was added to the track during the week along with some expert work from the track maintenance crew which produced a racy track for the features.

Wolkowski Wows 'Em at Cedar Lake, as Borgeson, Miller and Mars Win
Again
 New Richmond, WI by Greg Parent (5-30-09) Images: Jerry “Zimmy” Zimmer Young Thunder Bay, Ontario racer Cody Wolkowski had a memorable night in his second appearance ever at the Cedar Lake Speedway on May 30 when he topped a fantastic NASCAR midwest modified main event to earn his first-ever career feature win in that division. A beautiful but breezy late spring day brought fans and racers to the western Wisconsin facility for another action-packed evening of dirt track racing in the four NASCAR weekly divisions. With racy track conditions, fans were entertained with several very good races throughout the course of the evening high-lighted by the midwest modified main event. Repeat winners were the norm in the other three classes, as Tim Borgeson overcame recent driveline problems to pick up his fourth win of the season in the always competitive NASCAR super stocks. Jason Miller grabbed his second NASCAR modified win of the season and his fourth over all at CLS holding off Ron Schreiner in the process. Jimmy Mars became the first repeat winner in the NASCAR late model division this year besting a fine field of 25 cars, as he passed race leader Mike Nutzmann on lap 17 in a nonstop run to the checkers.

Dover Over Lucas Oil ASCS for $10K Triumph in Steve King Memorial!
 The lapped car of Nick Smith (15s) has the best seat in the house as Gary Wright (9x) challenges Jack Dover (53) for the lead in the closing stages of Sunday night's $10,000-to-win Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters Steve King Memorial at the Jetmore (KS) Motorplex.

By Lonnie Wheatley, JETMORE, Kan. (May 24, 2009) - Nineteen-year-old Jack Dover of Springfield, NE, captured the biggest victory of his young career with a $10,000 Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters score in Sunday's Steve King Memorial presented by Coors Light at the Jetmore Motorplex. Dover took the lead away from Wayne Johnson on the 17th round and then held off a late bid from Gary Wright in the 35-lapper to secure his second career ASCS National win aboard the Eckley-powered 3D Auto Transport/Home Pride Co. No. 53 Eagle, all in front of the VERSUS Network cameras. "The competition here is unreal, this is the biggest win I've had by far," Dover commented from victory lane. "With everything that Lucas Oil and K&N Filters are doing with this series, it's the best thing going." Dover locked himself into Sunday night's main event via a late move around Gary Wright for the fourth and final transfer position in Saturday night's preliminary feature event. And, when it all boiled down to the critical final circuits on Sunday night, it was once again Dover denying Wright. Only this time, it was for the $10,000 winner's share. Starting from the third position, Dover chased pole starter Wayne Johnson in the early rounds. But when Johnson struggled with the turn two cushion on consecutive laps near the midway point, Dover took quick advantage by racing into the lead on the 17th round. Dover checked out in the ensuing rounds, leaving Johnson to battle with the likes of Shane Stewart, Travis Rilat and Gary Wright. By the time the race's first caution flew with 29 laps in the books for Brian Brown's stalled mount off the backstretch, Dover's straightaway advantage was erased and it was Wright who had battled from the fifth position on the 23rd lap into the runner-up slot by the 25th lap.
Rilat Rules Lucas Oil ASCS Jetmore Opener!

(Photo by Lonnie Wheatley) By Lonnie Wheatley, JETMORE, Kan. (May 23, 2009) - Travis Rilat snapped a Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters victory drought that was just 48 hours shy of two years in duration by topping Saturday night's 30-lap Steve King Memorial presented by Coors Light preliminary feature event at the Jetmore Motorplex. The 2003 ASCS National champion gunned into the lead at the outset and led all the way atop a turbulent surface for his 23rd career Lucas Oil ASCS National win and first since a Saluda, VA, victory on May 25, 2007. "I've been spending some time in the gym lately and that probably made a difference," Rilat relayed afterward. "Otherwise, the last half of that race might have been more of a struggle." Rilat held off current series points leader Shane Stewart most of the way, with Zach Chappell taking the show position. Nebraska's Jack Dover took advantage of a late caution to race around Gary Wright for the fourth and final lock-in position to Sunday night's $10,000 to win Steve King Memorial championship feature event. Originally slated to start the main event inside row two, Rilat found himself on the pole after a chaotic opening lap that sent four cars to the pit area before a lap was in the books. The trouble started when 17-year-old Trey Robb, 19-year-old Chad Corken and veteran Kansas shoe Mike Peters all went tumbling in a wild turn three melee, with pole starter Darren Long then climbing a tire and flipping as the field checked up entering turn one. There were no injuries.
Egersdorf and Weber Take First Wins,
Nelson and Marshall Repeat at Cedar Lake Speedway
New Richmond, WI by Greg Parent (5-23-09) Photos: Stan Meissner The seventh race of the season saw two new winners emerge while two other drivers earned repeat feature victories on a pleasant spring evening at the Cedar Lake Speedway during Saturday night racing action on Memorial Day weekend. A strong field of 107 cars signed into the pits to race for top honors in the four weekly NASCAR divisions. Jeff Marshall drove to his second win of the season, his first since the opening night, in the NASCAR midwest modified division in dominating fashion. Mike Weber took full advantage of his pole starting spot leading all the way in the NASCAR super stock main event, but he had to withstand a late challenge from Jason Schill to secure his first win of the 2009 season. Darrell Nelson has been a dominating force in the NASCAR modified class so far at CLS, and tonight was no different as he garnered his fourth victory in six attempts. The NASCAR late model division remains the only class to see a different feature winner each night so far in 2009. Multi-time track champion Rick Egersdorf took his first win in several seasons when he topped a very strong field of late models.  For
the second week in a row, an incredible field of 33 NASCAR late models
was on hand. Following heat race wins by Jim Carlson, Chuckie DeSmith,
Jeff Patchen and Jake Redetzke, a late model B Main was once again
necessary. It is not very often that you see Pat Doar in a B Main, but
tonight was such an occasion. Doar pulled away for the win over Keith
Foss, Adam Hensel and Jeff Martire. The field was now set for their
feature event. Jake Redetzke and first-time 2009 visitor Mike Prochnow
paced the 24 car starting grid, as race fans would feel the rumble of
the late models for 30 racing laps around the high-banked 3/8 mile oval.
With the first start attempt called back for a jump by outside front row
starter Prochnow, the second attempt saw veteran racer Rick Egersdorf
move up one row and switch spots with Prochnow. Egersdorf, who literally
has tens of thousands of laps around the track, wasted no time in
finding the quick lane and got the lead over Redetzke. A spin in turn
one with three laps scored brought out the second caution of the race,
as Joel Cryderman and Jeff Patchen made contact. Cryderman retired to
the pits with what appeared to be some kind of front suspension or
steering damage. Third place runner John Kaanta got by Redetzke on the
restart and settled into the runnerup spot behind Egersdorf. One final
caution for a six car incident in turn two one lap later kept the field
bunch up. It would be 26 laps nonstop to the finish when the green
blinked back on. A tremendous battle developed for the fourth spot for
several laps between Prochnow and opening night winner Rick Hanestad.
Hanestad finally secured the spot near the midway point of the race. On
lap 20, Darrell Nelson moved past Prochnow for fifth. The leaders
remained the same for the remainder of the race, as Rick Egersdorf held
a comfortable margin enroute to his first win at CLS in a number of
years. John Kaanta, Jake Redetzke, Rick Hanestad and Darrell Nelson
rounded out the top five. Completing the top ten finishers were Mike
Prochnow, Jim Carlson, Jeff Patchen, Chuckie DeSmith and Kelly Anderson.
Clay Rogers Scales The Fence After Memorable Langley Speedway Win
 By Erica Kron HAMPTON, Va. (May 23, 2009) - Clay Rogers shot through a narrow opening in a four-wide sprint to the finish Saturday night at Langley Speedway to narrowly defeat rookie Lucas Ransone in the HAMPTON VIRGINIA 250 presented by Racing Electronics for his first USARacing Pro Cup victory this season. The stage was set for the Hollywood script ending with two laps remaining in the 250-lap race on the 0.4-mile track. That's when Woody Howard's Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Bobby Gill's Ford Fusion and Ransone's Monte Carlo closed on the bumper of Rogers' Chevrolet Impala, which was leading. Headed into the third turn on the final lap they began jockeying for position and as they exited the fourth turn they were four wide with the checkered flag in sight. At the finish, Rogers edged ahead of Ransone by 0.058 second. "That track really opened up a second, third, man, even a fourth groove there, I guess, at the end!" said an excited Rogers, who dominated the race, leading 116 laps in his C & C Boiler Sales & Service Chevy. "I think it was more fun to watch then it was to be in the car. "Where did Lucas Ransone come from" Both his team and Bobby Gill's team had different tire strategies and they did a great job!"
DAVEY HAMILTON’S GIVING UNSELFISHLY BRINGS
HUGE REWARDS TO TEAMMATES
Indianapolis, IN (May 21, 2009) – A short week ago on Friday, May 14th Davey Hamilton had a plan: Run as many laps as possible with various race day setups to prepare for the biggest race of his life, his 9th Indianapolis 500. Davey and the #44 Dreyer & Reinbold / Kingdom Racing Hewlett Packard “Touch the Future Now” Honda Dallara team ran over 50 laps and tried different race day variations. The next day, Davey sacrificed track time to assist fellow teammates Mike Conway, John Andretti and Milka Duno attempt to make their way into starting line-up as he did the previous weekend. At the end of the Qualification Day 3, his teammates were in jeopardy of being bumped from the field on “Bump Day”. On Sunday morning, Davey drove Milka Duno around the track in a pace car and coached her on improving her racing line. Milka found three miles an hour and safely re-entered the field early Sunday afternoon after being bumped out. Next was assisting on Mike Conway’s setup of which was compiled from Hamilton’s best runs of the month. Conway qualified as one of the quickest of the day on Sunday and safely re-entered the field. Longtime friend and teammate John Andretti was bumped in and out of the field several times before turning in the “run of the day” five minutes before the final gun ended a most intense afternoon. At the end of the day, Davey had turned an additional 40 laps over the entire weekend only to give unselfishly to his three teammates of time, advice, set-ups and invaluable support. Davey did as God would ask of us. And Davey acted as one who follows the Kingdom way of life. By giving unselfishly, a much greater reward will be received in His time.
