Norman, OK — May 10, 2006 — By Tony Veneziano, WoO Sprint Series PR
Director
Storm is a word that has been heard quite often during the past month
or so, as spring showers drenched dirt tracks around the country.
Racers never like to hear the word rain, let alone storm, but this time
they are bracing for a different kind of storm.
While the trees are turning green because of the wet stuff, Randy “The
Hurricane” Hannagan and the World of Outlaws Mean 15 drivers have their
sights set on another kind of green — cold, hard cash. On May 19, the
World of Outlaws invade Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa. Winning at
Lernerville is tough enough, but in the RacinSoles Victory Lane that
night, the winner will be faced with a decision: Take a shot at $50,000
the next night at Sharon Speedway and be a hero to the fans, or turn it
down and be booed out of the track. Doesn’t seem like too difficult a
choice.
If the Commonwealth Clash winner elects to take The $50,000 Challenge,
he or she will start the A-main 24th on May 20 at Sharon Speedway in
Hartford, Ohio, and have 40 laps to drive to victory — and the monster
bonus — on the racy 3/8-mile oval.
The first leg of the $51,600 event paying $10,000 to the winner is
tough enough. The World of Outlaws Sprint Series has raced at
Lernerville Speedway every year since 1979 and it has proved to be one
of the most exciting venues on the circuit because of incredible
support from fans, racers and the media. Now there’s the added
edge-of-your-seat bonus of feeling the intensity rise as the drivers
know they must win at Lernerville on a night being filmed by The
Outdoor Channel to have a shot at winning $50,000.
For tickets to the Commonwealth Clash at Lernerville and to see the
World of Outlaws drivers go all out to have a shot at the $50,000
bonus, call 724-353-1511 or go to http://www.lernerville.com for more
information. The first 500 adults through the gate will receive a World
of Outlaws seat cushion. To see if the Commonwealth Clash winner can
pocket the $50,000 bonus at Sharon, call 330-772-1186 or go to
http://www.sharonspeedway.com. The first 1,200 adults to purchase an
advance ticket for the event will receive a free “Challenge” T-shirt.
In the event of inclement weather, a rain date is in place for May 21
at Sharon.
“We’re all trying to win, but we’re not thinking about money,” said
Hannagan, who will probably change his mind should he win the
Commonwealth Clash and start staring at a $50,000 bonus if he can win
the following night. “We’re thinking about the best way that we can get
to the front and win the race. If it happens and whomever it happens to
— hopefully that’s us — you can carry that over to Sharon Speedway and
build momentum up. Sharon’s another great race track, and I love racing
at both of them.”
Hannagan, a native of San Jose, Calif., who resides in Pittsboro, Ind.,
home, has plenty of laps at Lernerville with the Outlaws as well as the
All Star Circuit of Champions.
“Running there over the years, it is a great facility,” Hannagan said.
“The racetrack is always good and we run good there. I just look
forward to going there and seeing if we can bring back that $50,000.”
Of course, Hannagan will be battling more than just the Mean 15. The
racers in the region, like Ed Lynch Jr. and Rod George, have proven to
be some of the best winged sprint car drivers around, and especially at
Lernerville and Sharon. Hannagan has had epic battles in the past
against drivers from the Keystone State, and looks for the Commonwealth
Clash to be yet another classic.
“You’re going to run in their backyard, and they have a lot of good
drivers there,” Hannagan said. “Any time you can go into someone’s
backyard and beat up on them, it makes you feel pretty good.”
The weather also is beginning to cooperate. From a driver’s point of
view, they cannot wait to compete three or four times a week during the
summer. Hannagan, who raced more than 100 times last season, is itching
to be in the cockpit as much as possible.
“We did get a little bit of a break, but there’s always calm before a
storm,” Hannagan said. “Right now, it’s a pretty dormant here, but once
we get going the storm will appear and we’ll get to racing quite a bit.
I try to stay busy with racing, to keep my mind with it. My mind is
always on racing, no doubt. We’ve got some good building points, and
now we just have to work with them.”
With some downtime towards the middle to later part of April because of
rain, Hannagan and his No. 1x Terry Hannagan Racing Maxim had plenty of
time to make sure all the nuts and bolts were tight on the car, and the
truck and trailer were packed and ready to hit the road.
“Preparation at the shop, that’s where you win and lose races,”
Hannagan said. “You make it to where you can run good while at the
shop. At the track, you go through your motions and you just have to be
prepared.”
Hannagan knows the rigors of competing full time with the World of
Outlaws, as he picked up the 1995 Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year
Award Presented By Maxim Racing and ButlerBuilt. Many intangibles come
into play when racing day in and day from coast to coast, both on the
track and off.
“Right now, we’re getting more consistent, but still not where we need
to be,” Hannagan said. “Right now, we’re running in peaks and valleys.
I believe I know why we are in the valleys and we know why we ran the
peaks, and now we just have to build and get out of the valleys and we
will be OK.”
This will be the first of two visits for the World of Outlaws this
season at Lernerville as Mean 15 racers will return in July for the
prestigious Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup.

country by several sponsors and partners, including series sponsors
