World Of Outlaws Thunder Into Attica Raceway Park



Chad Kemenah, the reigning World of Outlaws Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year, who hails from Findlay, Ohio, which is right down the road from Attica, has had plenty of success at his home track over the years. He has won five times at the 1/3-mile with the All Star Circuit of Champions. He earned a season best finish of third, on April 6 at Paducah International Raceway in Kentucky.

Daryn Pittman enters the event at Attica third in points, on the strength of 10 Top-10 finishes. He picked up a win in the finale of the Florida DIRTcar Nationals in Florida in February. That win marked his 20th career triumph with the series for the former World of Outlaws Gumout Series champion. The native of Owasso, Oklahoma is only 104 points out of the top spot as he chases his first World of Outlaws title. Danny Lasoski, the 2001 World of Outlaws champion, has been one of the most consistent drivers this season. He heads to Attica fourth in the points, after winning his first race of the season on April 6 at Paducah International Raceway in Kentucky. He has nine Top-10 finishes on the year and is only 158 markers behind Saldana.

Craig Dollansky ran a very solid third last time the World of Outlaws visited Attica in 2005. He won at the track in 2000 with the All Stars. The former World of Outlaws Gumout Series champion is fifth in points entering this weekend, on the strength of eight Top-10 finishes. He is one of only two drivers that have transferred to the A-Feature by way of his heat race, in each of the first 13 events of the season. Terry McCarl who has won at Attica for the first time with the All Star Circuit of Champions in 1997, is sixth in points as he chases his first series title. The native of Altoona, Iowa, who is a multi-time Knoxville Raceway and Huset’s Speedway champion has eight Top-10 finishes on the year. He is just 15 markers out of the fifth spot in the standings.

Jason Meyers earned his first win of the season last weekend at Eldora Speedway and vaulted into the seventh spot in the point standings. He has six Top-10 finishes on the year. The native of Clovis, California has won two dashes so far this season to earn just as many pole positions. He also has set fast time once. Jac Haudenschild moved into the ninth spot in points after a fourth-place finish at Eldora last weekend, in which he led a large portion of the event. The native of Wooster, Ohio has six Top-10 finishes on the season. He finished fourth in the World of Outlaws last event at Attica Raceway Park in 2005.

Brooke Tatnell, one of only two Australian-born drivers to have earned a World of Outlaws A-Feature triumph, is 10th in points heading to Attica. In his last visit to the track with the series, he picked up a runner-up finish. In his first season driving for Larry Woodward, the always affable driver has seven Top-10 finishes.

Other drivers that will be on-hand at Attica Raceway Park include: Paul McMahan driving for two-time NASCAR Champion Tony Stewart, Jason Solwold, who along with Dollansky has transferred from his heat race into each of the first 13 A-Feature events of the season, current Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year leader Kerry Madsen, from Australia, who earned his first series win during the Florida DIRTcar Nationals, 2003 Rookie of the Year Jason Sides, Tim Kaeding, who won earlier this season in California, 1999 Rookie of the Year Tim Shaffer, second-year driver Justin Henderson, 1995 Rookie of the Year Randy Hannagan, second-year driver Jeremy Campbell who has competed at Attica in the past with the All Stars, veteran Dion Hindi of New Mexico, second-year driver Jason Martin of Kansas, who earned a career-best finish of fourth on April 6, and veteran Brian Carlson, who has raced at Attica in the past with the All Stars.

A hearty crop of six Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award contenders will be on hand including: Tony Bruce Jr. of Kansas, Zach Chappell of Oklahoma, Sam Hafertepe Jr. of Texas, Chad Hillier of Washington, Madsen, and James Mosher of New Mexico.
