Jason Meyers continues to add victories to his resume in the World of Outlaws 2007 Season. In May, Meyers and the Elite Racing team visited victory lane at U.S. 36 Raceway in Osborn. Missouri. Meyers recently netted another Outlaw win at Dodge City Raceway Park in Dodge City, Kansas.

In the Boot Hill Showdown at Dodge City, Meyers qualified ninth during the time trial event. He crossed the finish line first in this heat and ran second to the Crane Cams Dash. He lined up on the outside of the first row for the A-Main, next to the 2006 Champion and current point leader, Donny Schatz.

Both racers are sponsored by K&N Engineering, and both use K&N products on their sprint cars. “K&N protects engines and keeps the dirt out,” said Marie Osborn for Elite Racing. “K&N also gives us more power and that gives us a winning edge.”

Meyers was able to hold on to the lead until the thirteenth circuit, when Schatz motored around him. Not losing ground to Schatz, Meyers held on. Schatz bobbled on the high side of the track on lap sixteen and Meyers used the slower traffic to pass Schatz. Meyers held on for the close victory.

“The race was tough,” said Meyers. “We battled Donny all night long. I always love coming to Dodge City, and it’s great to have good news.”

Next up for Meyers and the Elite Racing Team will be The Duel of the Dakotas on Friday, June 29 at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, North Dakota.

The victory was his eighth “A” Feature win of the 2007 season and second consecutive at Black Hills. “Winning races is the key to having a successful season, but putting on a good show is what keeps fans coming back,” said Schatz. “The track crew did an excellent job of getting the track into racing condition after some unfortunate accidents early in the night. They never gave up nor did the fans. It was a long night, but hopefully we gave them something to remember and we’ll see them again next year.”

At the start of the evening, cars hit the 3/8-mile dirt oval to qualify under sunny conditions. During the first two heats numerous rocks on the track were cutting tires and doing damage to the race cars. The track surface was reworked.

Donny Schatz Motorsports has a winning combination of parts and components. The team uses K&N Engineering Products. “With the K&N Sprint Car Airbox we’re confident we’re getting maximum airflow to produce the highest performance,” said Schatz. “The debris stays out of our motor with K&N.”

Schatz started the evening by qualifying ninth in a field of 36 cars. The Fargo, North Dakota racer made a strong move at the start jumping from fourth into second and spent lap after lap following Madsen.

“I had to conserve my right rear tire,” said Schatz. “We got to traffic and I was hoping Kerry would make a mistake, but he didn’t. Then I saw the white flag and figured it was now or never and we made it work.”

Schatz returns to action on Friday night when the World of Outlaws makes its first appearance at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

“Jeff drove his Team Worsham blue Checker, Schuck’s Kragen Impala SS with K&N Engineering products at Englishtown, New Jersey with amazing consistency,” said CSK Team Manager Bob Wilber. “He kept the car straight, kept it whole and earned his wins. But all he and most everyone else will remember is his heartbreaking loss in the semi-finals.”

“We had a great day, and did everything just about right,” said Arend. “We got edged out by a very good team having a very good day.”Arend, put one solid lap on the board during the four qualifying sessions. The lap ran his 2007 qualifying streak to 10-for-10, sharing that honor only with Gary Scelzi.

“We made a good lap on Friday night, but that’s not what we were really after,” said Arend. “We wanted to be in the final, and we felt we could certainly win. My guys put a great car on the track for three straight rounds, and we nailed the numbers each time. We just lost by a few feet. We’ll go to Norwalk with our heads high and our confidence right there.

“We use K&N Oil Filters and we never missed a minute of racing due to any filter failure,” said Wilber. “You need that kind of confidence to continually send your divers out on the track in 330 mph race cars. That’s why we continue to spin those K&N Filters into place before every run. K&N Oil Filters are one part of the equation we never have to worry about.”
