QUOTABLE
Craig Dollansky, a Mean 15 racer from Elk River, Minn., who is second
in points
• On the level of competition in the World of Outlaws Sprint Series
this year: “I think it’s very competitive throughout the whole field.
You’ve got a lot of good race teams out here and night-in and night-out
even heat races are tough to get through. That shows you how strong a
field it is every night on the tour right now.”
• On competing against with drivers from other series: “We go in and
run against tough competition in different parts of the country, and
then you’ve got the All Stars or just other different sanctioning
bodies that come in and race with us and every weekend is a tough
weekend, no matter who you’re racing against, no matter what the series
is, no matter what the racetrack is, or what part of the country you’re
in. It’s just tough competition. It’ll be fun racing with the All Stars
[this weekend]. They have a good group of guys there and it’ll be fun
going and racing with them.”

Tim Kaeding, a Mean 15 racer from San Jose, Calif., who is leading the
battle for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award
• On the level of competiton within the Outlaws: “Just coming from
California where I was one of the fastest guys out there, and then
coming to race with these guys who are used to racing 100 times a year
to where I’m used to racing 40 times a year is tough. There are 15 to
20 good cars every night that could be capable of winning. Everybody’s
out here doing what they’re supposed to do, race and try to keep the
money coming in and finish. It’s a lot harder nowadays compared to
about five years ago when there were only five or six Outlaws teams and
now there are 15 good traveling teams. I think the competition level is
up probably higher than it has been in the past 10 or 15 years running
with these guys. Hopefully everybody can stick with us and run
throughout the whole year with us and get some new winners and
first-time winners.”
• On competing with drivers from other series: “Once you go out there
and race, you’re racing against the racetrack and the guys who are
around you. It doesn’t matter who it is, you’ve got a lot of good guys
in the All Star deal and a lot of good guys in the Outlaws deal. It’s
just a state of mind and a state of place. If you’re racing with a guy
in the back of the pack and you’re overdriving the car, you’re not
going to go anywhere. If you can get over it and just keep remembering
you have to race against yourself and the racetrack, then I think you
have a better chance of going forward.”

Kraig Kinser, a Mean 15 racer from Bloomington, Ind., and a two-time
feature winner this season who won the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the
Year Award in 2004
• On the level of competition within the series: “The competition last
year was real good. Coming into this year, a lot of good cars can win
every night. It’s shown with how many different cars are running up in
front that it’s definitely going to be tough to get a good finish in
points and just stay up there all year. There are so many cars running
good night-in and night-out. The guys are racing well, good drivers out
here, good cars, it’s going to be tough all season long.”
• On racing against the All Stars: “I ran with a lot of those guys when
I first started out, especially going into K-C. There are a lot good
drivers, not just All Star drivers but local drivers that run good
there every week. You go into a track where a lot of people run good,
it’s like going into Knoxville. You’ve got seasoned guys at that one
track that have seen it every which way. It’s tough to get timed in,
tough to get through your heat and tough to get a good start in your
feature. The way the track goes, it gets real slick so you have to hit
a setup on it real good, too. We’ve been real good with setups this
year, hopefully we get setup for there. A lot of the guys who run with
the All Stars are good friends of mine. We’re just racecar drivers and
it doesn’t matter when you get to the track what series or who you run
for, you just want to be up front and win.”

Steve Kinser, a Mean 15 racer from Bloomington, Ind., who has won a
series-high six features this season
• On competition in the sprint car division: “It’s good everywhere. The
sprint car series is pretty deep no matter what part of the country you
go to. You don’t know what you’re going to run into until you get there
and see how everybody’s been running. You don’t know how all the Ohio
guys are going to be running and all the Pennsylvania guys when we get
in there. I know they were all down in Florida and everybody was
running pretty good down there.”
• On the competition within the series: “We got a good field of cars
traveling all the time right now. It’s not something that has not
happened before, but I think all the guys who are out here are going to
stay out here [for the whole season]. It makes it hard on the some of
the guys in the back five or six cars with us and some of the local
cars, too. The more cars you have, the tougher it makes.”

Danny Lasoski, a Mean 15 racer from Dover, Mo., who set quick time last
Friday night at Lake Ozark Speedway
• On the level of competition this year: “Without a shadow of a doubt,
it’s the toughest ever. Not only do you have a record number of cars
following the World of Outlaws, but a record number of quality cars. On
any given night, I think there are 18 teams that can win. When you do
that, you’ve got a mixture of a great year and as far as competition
it’s not going to get any better than that.”

 

[jdearing]

Terry McCarl, a six-time Knoxville Raceway 410-sprint track champion
from Altoona, Iowa, who is racing with the World of Outlaws in 2005
• On the level of competition with the Outlaws: “In 1992 I ran the
whole Outlaw deal and I’ve followed it as long as it has been around
and I don’t think there’s any year that’s even close to this year.
You’ve got 19 full-time travelers, then you throw in Sammy and Kevin
Swindell, out West you get [Dennis Roth’s second car] and Randy
Hannagan. Chad Kemenah comes in quite often. I think there’s no
comparison. Back in 1992 when I ran it, there were a few teams that
didn’t have any money and I was the team then. One of the teams that’s
just not quite ready to be out there. This year, this isn’t anybody out
here that shouldn’t be out here. They’re all capable of winning every
night. There’s no weakness. Back when I ran in 1992, I ran top-five
twice all year, but we were running on Sammy’s used tires. It’s not
only how many cars there are now, but they’re all really good teams. It
makes it tough for the local guys when we roll into town to make any
money. I don’t think there’s any comparison to any other year, and I’ve
been following it quite a bit. I think, by far, this is the toughest
year ever.”

Paul McMahan, a Mean 15 racer from Nashville who finished third Friday
night at Lake Ozark Speedway after a crowd-thrilling duel with Steve
Kinser
• On the competition within the series: “The competition every year
gets tougher and tougher. This year we have a lot more cars running
with us. Then the local competition is still real stout. When you go
into somebody’s back yard where they run day-in and day-out, they have
a little bit of an edge on us. They have the same equipment as we do,
the same motors as we do. There’s nothing we have that anybody else
can’t go buy. We’re just fortunate enough to do this 100 times a year
where other people can’t. You go into somebody’s home turf, there’s
always the local guy that’s a threat there and you have to watch out
for them, too.”
• On racing Saturday at K-C Raceway: “When you go to Chillicothe, you
got Chad Kemenah who’s real tough, you got Greg Wilson, Byron Reed’s
really tough there. Jim Nier, the guy who owns the track has many laps
around there. Butch Schroeder, you can go on down the list of everybody
who runs in Ohio, besides Pennsylvania, Ohio is one of the hardest we
go to. Going to a racetrack where the All Stars run five to 10 times a
year, they’ve got a lot more laps around that place than we do. It’s
just racing, anybody can win on any given night. Everybody has the same
equipment. The All Stars have the same stuff we got. There’s nothing
different than what we have, we just do it a lot more.”

Jason Meyers, a Mean 15 racer from Clovis, Calif., who picked up his
first victory of the season Saturday night at Tri-City Speedway in
Granite City, Ill.
• On competition within the series: “Probably the biggest change from
our vantage point is when you have a bad night, you don’t get your car
up to seventh, you get up to about 15th. There are just a lot of good
teams out here. You got to remember, when you’re off one night, out of
15 teams there are probably eight or nine that are on. It makes it a
little tougher to turn a bad night into a good night. We have a lot of
teams that seem to have put some money behind them and have good
equipment.”
• On racing against drivers from other series: “We are going into the
heart of All Star country and you’ll have a few guys that run pretty
good, Chad Kemenah for sure and a few other guys. It’ll make the race
exciting to have a good car count with good quality cars. We welcome
that. It’s good for the cars, it’s good for the fans, it’s good for
everybody.”

Brian Paulus, a Mean 15 racer from Mechanicsburg, Pa., who has four
top-10 runs in 2005
• On the competition within the Outlaws: “It’s been very weird to go to
every single race and every single race there are 18 or 19 full-time
Outlaws, and then add in Sammy and Kevin, Randy Hannagan has come and
gone a couple of times. That’s 22 or 23 full-time cars weekly. That’s
been pretty tough racing with everybody. [At Knoxville] we got our
first top-five and that’s something to be proud of for us at this
point. We had a weak start to the season and it’s just a matter of
getting everything going again 100 percent and getting back on our
feet. Knowing we could go to Knoxville where the locals are as strong
as they are, and have the top All Stars show up with Chad Kemenah and
Jeremy Campbell and Danny Smith, we stepped up and had a good run.”
• On upcoming challenges: “When we get to K-C Raceway, I know the All
Stars are racing there with us. I expect at least 55 cars, and there
won’t be very many slouches at that place. Then we go to Lernerville,
and that’s never an easy show. Their top 10 guys are really strong
racers. Then you hit the dreaded Pennsylvania swing, and just getting
in the show is just something to be proud of at some point. If you can
get in, it’s just a matter of keeping up with their locals and still
racing with the normal Outlaws that you run with every week.”

Daryn Pittman, a Mean 15 racer and native of Owasso, Okla., who earn a
victory last month at 81 Speedway
• On the competition within the series: “This is by far the toughest
I’ve ever seen it out here. It’s tough when it’s just us by ourselves.
If the All Stars don’t have a race and they come run with us, it just
makes it that much tougher. There’s several guys that run the All Star
deal that you have to be concerned with who generally qualify really
good and put themselves in position to be a threat. It’s by far the
toughest I think anybody’s ever seen. The whole sprint car division is
strong across the country. When you put that many good cars at one
racetrack, it’s awfully hard to make the show.”

Joey Saldana, a Mean 15 racer from Brownsburg, Ind., who has a top-five
and six top-10 runs this season
• On competition within the series: “When I had my car out here in
2000, there were 18 full-time teams and the Outlaws had TNN and
everything was rolling along pretty good. Then it seemed like 2001 it
fell off some, 2002 it fell and it kept getting worse. Now they’ve got
the TV package [with The Outdoor Channel] going in the right direction
and new ownership and everything. It’s definitely tough. I know that
first year we came out here with 18 teams, it was pretty tough for us.
I’ve seen it good and bad. Even though in the past they haven’t had as
many teams following them, the competition still comes to the races.
The tracks where it is tough, it’s still tough. It’s just when you’re
going to the tracks now where they don’t really have a 410 local base
of cars, you’ve got 20 good cars that are going to be there. That’s
good for the Outlaws to promote because now they can go to different
places they couldn’t go in the past, and they can bring a field of
cars. That’s what the people want to see. As long as I’m making the
races, I’m happy, but it’s been tough on us this year. When there’s
that many good cars, you’ve got to have a really good engine program.
That’s one thing I had with my own team, a really good engine program.
If you don’t have that, you’re in trouble.”

Donny Schatz, a Mean 15 racer from Fargo, N.D., who has three victories
this season
• On the level of competition in the series: “The competition is as
good as it’s ever been. You see the Great One, he’s still dominating
and is still in winning form. And everybody else who is out here, on
any given night they can be up there racing for a win. There are a
couple of guys who start up there and are going to stay there. You
don’t see many cars coming through the field like you used to. If you
do, it’s a pretty miraculous thing. The competition level is up there
pretty good. You don’t ever see it decline. The cars and motors keep
getting better and everybody is getting more accessible to all that
stuff and that knowledge, making it pretty tough. We have not been very
good and it’s making it a lot tougher on us, but it’s just a matter of
time before we get our problems worked out and get everything straight
and we’ll be back in the winning mode. Hopefully it’s sooner than
later, but that’s just the way racing is. When you’re good you can
carry it, and in this day and age the competition is so good that you
can’t make up for a little error any more.”

Tim Shaffer, a Mean 15 racer from Aliquippa, Pa., who won Friday night
at Lake Ozark Speedway
• On the level of competition: “We have 18 to 20 cars every night with
really good equipment and good drivers. There are nights where you’re
seeing it with guys using provisionals a lot more than they have in the
past. It’s very tough.”
• On a celebrating his victory: “It’s definitely a boost for your
mindset and everything else, but that night’s over and we move on to
tonight. As tough as it is now with as many cars we have, you can win
one night and not make the show the next night. You’ve got to stay on
your game. Everybody’s got to do their part and the best thing with our
deal is that we’re becoming a nice, strong team.”

Jason Sides, a Mean 15 racer from Bartlett, Tenn., who finished fifth
Saturday night at Tri-City Speedway
• On the level of competition: “It’s probably better than it has been
in the past 10 or 15 years. I’ve only been here three years, but this
year is by far the most competitive with the amount of cars that are
running. Even back when it was Sammy, Steve and [Doug] Wolfgang, it was
still just those three and then different tracks brought different
cars. This year, with 18 or 20 full-time travelers, it makes it tough
to run good night-in and night-out.”
• On racing Saturday at K-C Raceway: “It’s a different night, but just
another race. Those guys that come, they’ve got four or five really
good cars anytime they run with us. As far as the All Stars vs. the
Outlaws, they’re there to race, too.”

Jason Solwold, a former track champion at Skagit Speedway in Alger,
Wash., who has four top-five feature runs this season
• On racing in Ohio and Pennsyvlania: “I’ve never raced further east
than Eldora. There are a lot of really good racecar drivers out in
Pennsylvania and a lot of racecars so that’ll be interesting. You’ll
kind of see what you what you really have when you go out there and do
well. We’ll be all right. It’s just a learning curve for us. We’re
getting faster as every week goes by.”

Shane Stewart, a Bixby, Okla., native with 11 top-10s who is running
for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award
• On the competition within the Outlaws: “Talking to the guys who have
been out here for a long time, I think it’s been the toughest series
for them, too. Just for example, at Lake Ozark Speedway, I missed going
from 13th to 8th by 0.03. That’s like a blink of an eye. That’s pretty
much how it’s been almost every night in qualifying, and out here
qualifying is everything. Steve Kinser’s a good example of that because
he always qualifies in the right spot, he’s always up front. More than
likely, if you don’t have any bad luck throughout the night, if you
start up front you’re going to end up front. It’s very difficult to
start 16th or 17th and crack the top five. Generally, you get to
seventh and eighth and then you start running into guys who are just as
good as you, or better, and you can’t get around them. It’s extremely
tough. It’s a good tough and then it’s a bad tough. It’s bad for the
pocketbook, but I think it’s making me a stronger person and a stronger
driver. In years to come, I think we’ll all look back on this year and
agree that it helped everybody.”

Brooke Tatnell, a native of San Souci, New South Wales, Australia, who
has two runner-up finishes this season
• On the level of competition: “There’s no equipment advantage anymore.
You’ve got 20 guys who are capable of winning, and you’ve got 20 cars
in every feature race that are capable of winning. The depth of it is
definitely extended to what it had been in the previous six or eight
years.”
• On racing against drivers from other series: “From a competitive
standpoint, you don’t care who they are. I don’t care if Steve Kinser
races for Podunk County, you still want to beat everyone there. The
depth of it, if you add a few those guys in it, it makes the depth a
little bit deeper. We’re all the same, we’re all here to beat everyone.
Right now, you’ve got to beat Steve Kinser.”

Brandon Wimmer, a Mean 15 racer from Fairmount, Ind., who is running
for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award
• On the level of competition within the series: “There’s no comparison
anywhere else. The best drivers are out here. Most of the drivers out
here have a lot of years under their belt. They’ve been to most of
these tracks several times. It always helps to go somewhere more than
once. To come out here and run with them, you learn a lot.”
