Osborn, MO — May 5, 2006 — By Tony Veneziano, WoO Sprint Series PR
Director
Fast high-banked tracks are exactly what Jac Haudenschild knows best.
U.S. 36 Raceway is certainly high-banked. He also knows how to win
races on the World of Outlaws circuit. The odds played in his favor on
Friday night. The Ohio veteran rolled to the 41st World of Outlaws
victory in his career on the grueling circuit at the Missouri
High-Banked Nationals Presented By Weld Wheels.
For car owner Rick Wright, a long-time sprint car supporter, it was his
first Outlaws win.
“Rick will be very happy with it,” said Haudenschild, a Mean 15 racer
from Wooster, Ohio. “He’s been giving us everything we need this year
to race with. I’m very glad to be driving for him. I have real good
racecars and he hired good guys to work on them. We’re looking forward
to the whole year.”
Haudenschild was on the pole for the second time this year with Becca
Anderson on the outside for her first front row start of the season in
front of a huge crowd in the World of Outlaws inaugural appearance at
U.S. 36 Raceway. Then it got wild with everybody still trying to gain a
feel for the best line around the incredibly high-banked and fast oval.
After a couple of red flags, Wayne Johnson jumped out to lead the first
seven laps before Haudenschild tracked him down and dove under him in
Turns 1 and 2 to swipe the lead on Lap 8 in the Wright One Construction
Maxim. From there, he had to endure a couple of cautions, but on each
restart Haudenschild quickly raced out to a commanding lead and powered
his way to the RacinSoles Victory Lane.
“The car felt good and it was handling really well,” Haudenschild said.
“The track was heavy, but you could race anywhere on it. It was a good
track to run on tonight.”
Craig Dollansky continued his impressive streak to post a runner-up
finish in the Karavan Trailers Maxim with Terry McCarl in the Big Game
Treestands Eagle coming from 14th to finish third. Chad Kemenah in the
Underground Utilities Inc. Eagle and Paul McMahan in the Bass Pro Shops
Eagle rounded out the top five. McMahan also was one of seven drivers
to break the previous single-lap record on the 3/8-mile oval to earn a
$1,000 bonus from Bruce and Debi Cox of Cox Design and Metal
Fabrication.
Daryn Pittman drove to a sixth-place finish in the Titan Garages &
Carports Maxim followed by Tim Shaffer in the Casey’s General Stores
Maxim, Stevie Smith in the Team RAACE J&J, Wayne Johnson in the Clark
Construction J&J and Brooke Tatnell in the Race Outfitters/Garlic Jim’s
Pizza Eagle.
Haudenschild got into lapped traffic a couple of times, but nothing
slowed him down on the blistering fast 3/8-mile oval.
“You can see a lot better [in the lead], without the mud flying
around,” Haudenschild said. “It definitely helped to be out front. We
had lapped cars real quick so we were always behind somebody.”
Dollansky gave it everything he had in finishing second after starting
fifth. He weaved in and out of traffic and ran down Haudenschild at the
end, charging hard through the checkered flag on the inside to pass a
couple of cars at the flagstand with a move that sent him airborne as
the huge crowd roared with approval.
“Those last couple of laps, I was running him down pretty hard,”
Dollansky said. “He got crossed up coming off Turn 4 for the checkers
and we got right beside him. We scrambled all night long. We had
trouble with the motor in the heat race and then in the dash. We
changed motors after the heat race, thinking that would cure it, but it
didn’t. It really put us behind the eight ball. We were just trying to
keep up with the racecar and do the right things. I would have liked
five more laps out there.”
Dollansky, who was coming off a win in the last race at Tri-State
Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind., helped his cause in the standings by being
patient on a track unfamiliar to many of the Mean 15 racers.
“I feel very good about things right now with the Karavan team,”
Dollansky said. “We’ll continue to work on things each week, and
continue to gain on them. We weren’t perfect tonight, with what we had
to do with out car, but we are learning. This is pretty much a rookie
crew and these guys are doing a great job.”
McCarl not only had his hands full as a driver on Friday night,
charging through the field trying to pull out the win, but also as a
promoter. McCarl teamed up with SLS Promotions and Mike Frank and his
U.S. 36 Raceway staff to put on an event that left people wanting a
quick return to the track about an hour north of Kansas City.
“I care a lot about the promotion end,” McCarl said. “I want the fans
and racers to be happy. It’s unfortunate that a lot of guys got stuff
tore up tonight. It’s been raining for two weeks and we haven’t raced.
Whenever you put rain on dirt tracks, this stuff happens. It’s dirt
track racing and when you get rain for two weeks the track will be
rough, but the fans saw an awesome show.”
For McCarl, who believes he may have had a broken wheel toward the end
of the race, the event was mainly about finishing, knowing two more
nights of racing await this weekend.
“It’s a long season,” he said. “We had some tough days at Eldora and
Pevely, and it catches up with everyone over the long season. It’s how
you deal with adversity, and it shows what kind of person you are.
After starting 14th and running top three, that is a great
accomplishment for my team. It might have helped us to run the “B” main
because we knew we were not quite right with the car and had to go a
little further. My guys did a great job and I was just out there
hanging on.”
Chad Kemenah started the feature in eighth and worked his way up to
fourth, a result that helped to bolster his lead in the chase for the
Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award Presented By Maxim Racing and
ButlerBuilt.
“We struggled really bad early in the night in the heat race,” Kemenah
said. “We were so tight we couldn’t turn. This wet heavy stuff is not
really what we are accustomed to. My team did a great job working
together, and that says a lot about my crew. To start eighth at a place
like this where it is hard to pass and come home fourth, we are very
fortunate.”
Points leader Donny Schatz lost 20 points in the championship standings
after getting upside down twice, once in the dash, once in the feature,
when he made contact with other cars. Schatz was able to restart the
feature at the rear of the field but retired shortly after with
mechanical trouble, settling for a 21st-place finish. He was the
second-fastest car in time trials in the ParkerStore J&J and therefore
did earn four bonus points to lead the series into Wichita on Saturday.
Becca Anderson had a tremendous start to her night in the Woodring
Racing machine as she was the fourth quickest qualifier with a lap of
9.909 seconds and earned the her first dash win as a Mean 15 driver.
“You just go out and try to click off the best lap you can get,” said
Anderson after being one of the drivers to break the track record.
“Things went our way in the dash. We drew the six invert, and after the
wreck we were able to pull away.”
Anderson who was coming off of a ninth-place finish at Tri-State
Speedway is looking forward to heading back East in a couple of weeks
to some tracks she is very familiar with. At the same time, she is
making the most of what she is learning day in and day out on the
Outlaws trail.
“You go out there and try to get some luck and get the best finishes
that you can,” Anderson said. “The biggest thing is getting laps and
seat time. That’s the name of the game.”
Following this incredibly busy weekend, the World of Outlaws Sprint
Series begins its first Eastern Swing with events May 12 at Attica
Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, and the Ohio Challenge II on May 13 at
K-C Raceway in Chillicothe, Ohio. The series then rolls into

the Hill May 16 at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa. before
heading to Western Pennsylvania and the Commonwealth Clash on May 19 at
Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., that sets the stage for the
$50,000 Challenge on May 20 at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio.

Fast high-banked tracks are exactly what Jac Haudenschild knows best.
U.S. 36 Raceway is certainly high-banked. He also knows how to win
races on the World of Outlaws circuit. The odds played in his favor on
Friday night. The Ohio veteran rolled to the 41st World of Outlaws
victory in his career on the grueling circuit at the Missouri
High-Banked Nationals Presented By Weld Wheels.
For car owner Rick Wright, a long-time sprint car supporter, it was his
first Outlaws win.
“Rick will be very happy with it,” said Haudenschild, a Mean 15 racer
from Wooster, Ohio. “He’s been giving us everything we need this year
to race with. I’m very glad to be driving for him. I have real good
racecars and he hired good guys to work on them. We’re looking forward
to the whole year.”
Haudenschild was on the pole for the second time this year with Becca
Anderson on the outside for her first front row start of the season in
front of a huge crowd in the World of Outlaws inaugural appearance at
U.S. 36 Raceway. Then it got wild with everybody still trying to gain a
feel for the best line around the incredibly high-banked and fast oval.
After a couple of red flags, Wayne Johnson jumped out to lead the first
seven laps before Haudenschild tracked him down and dove under him in
Turns 1 and 2 to swipe the lead on Lap 8 in the Wright One Construction
Maxim. From there, he had to endure a couple of cautions, but on each
restart Haudenschild quickly raced out to a commanding lead and powered
his way to the RacinSoles Victory Lane.
“The car felt good and it was handling really well,” Haudenschild said.
“The track was heavy, but you could race anywhere on it. It was a good
track to run on tonight.”
Craig Dollansky continued his impressive streak to post a runner-up
finish in the Karavan Trailers Maxim with Terry McCarl in the Big Game
Treestands Eagle coming from 14th to finish third. Chad Kemenah in the
Underground Utilities Inc. Eagle and Paul McMahan in the Bass Pro Shops
Eagle rounded out the top five. McMahan also was one of seven drivers
to break the previous single-lap record on the 3/8-mile oval to earn a
$1,000 bonus from Bruce and Debi Cox of Cox Design and Metal
Fabrication.
Daryn Pittman drove to a sixth-place finish in the Titan Garages &
Carports Maxim followed by Tim Shaffer in the Casey’s General Stores
Maxim, Stevie Smith in the Team RAACE J&J, Wayne Johnson in the Clark
Construction J&J and Brooke Tatnell in the Race Outfitters/Garlic Jim’s
Pizza Eagle.
Haudenschild got into lapped traffic a couple of times, but nothing
slowed him down on the blistering fast 3/8-mile oval.
“You can see a lot better [in the lead], without the mud flying

didn’t. It really put us behind the eight ball. We were just trying to
keep up with the racecar and do the right things. I would have liked
five more laps out there.”
Dollansky, who was coming off a win in the last race at Tri-State
Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind., helped his cause in the standings by being
patient on a track unfamiliar to many of the Mean 15 racers.
“I feel very good about things right now with the Karavan team,”
Dollansky said. “We’ll continue to work on things each week, and
continue to gain on them. We weren’t perfect tonight, with what we had
to do with out car, but we are learning. This is pretty much a rookie
crew and these guys are doing a great job.”
McCarl not only had his hands full as a driver on Friday night,
charging through the field trying to pull out the win, but also as a
promoter. McCarl teamed up with SLS Promotions and Mike Frank and his
U.S. 36 Raceway staff to put on an event that left people wanting a
quick return to the track about an hour north of Kansas City.
“I care a lot about the promotion end,” McCarl said. “I want the fans
and racers to be happy. It’s unfortunate that a lot of guys got stuff
tore up tonight. It’s been raining for two weeks and we haven’t raced.
Whenever you put rain on dirt tracks, this stuff happens. It’s dirt
track racing and when you get rain for two weeks the track will be
rough, but the fans saw an awesome show.”
For McCarl, who believes he may have had a broken wheel toward the end
of the race, the event was mainly about finishing, knowing two more
nights of racing await this weekend.
“It’s a long season,” he said. “We had some tough days at Eldora and
Pevely, and it catches up with everyone over the long season. It’s how
you deal with adversity, and it shows what kind of person you are.
After starting 14th and running top three, that is a great
accomplishment for my team. It might have helped us to run the “B” main
because we knew we were not quite right with the car and had to go a
little further. My guys did a great job and I was just out there
hanging on.”
Chad Kemenah started the feature in eighth and worked his way up to
fourth, a result that helped to bolster his lead in the chase for the
Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award Presented By Maxim Racing and
ButlerBuilt.
“We struggled really bad early in the night in the heat race,” Kemenah
said. “We were so tight we couldn’t turn. This wet heavy stuff is not
really what we are accustomed to. My team did a great job working
together, and that says a lot about my crew. To start eighth at a place
like this where it is hard to pass and come home fourth, we are very
fortunate.”
Points leader Donny Schatz lost 20 points in the championship standings
after getting upside down twice, once in the dash, once in the feature,
when he made contact with other cars. Schatz was able to restart the
feature at the rear of the field but retired shortly after with
mechanical trouble, settling for a 21st-place finish. He was the
second-fastest car in time trials in the ParkerStore J&J and therefore
did earn four bonus points to lead the series into Wichita on Saturday.
Becca Anderson had a tremendous start to her night in the Woodring
Racing machine as she was the fourth quickest qualifier with a lap of
9.909 seconds and earned the her first dash win as a Mean 15 driver.
“You just go out and try to click off the best lap you can get,” said
Anderson after being one of the drivers to break the track record.
“Things went our way in the dash. We drew the six invert, and after the
wreck we were able to pull away.”
Anderson who was coming off of a ninth-place finish at Tri-State
Speedway is looking forward to heading back East in a couple of weeks
to some tracks she is very familiar with. At the same time, she is
making the most of what she is learning day in and day out on the
Outlaws trail.
“You go out there and try to get some luck and get the best finishes
that you can,” Anderson said. “The biggest thing is getting laps and
seat time. That’s the name of the game.”
Following this incredibly busy weekend, the World of Outlaws Sprint
Series begins its first Eastern Swing with events May 12 at Attica

K-C Raceway in Chillicothe, Ohio. The series then rolls into
Pennsylvania Posse Country for the first time in 2006 for Thunder on
the Hill May 16 at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, Pa. before
heading to Western Pennsylvania and the Commonwealth Clash on May 19 at
Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., that sets the stage for the
$50,000 Challenge on May 20 at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, Ohio.

U.S. 36 RACEWAY NOTEBOOK
• FAST QUALIFIER: Paul McMahan paced the 39-car field in the Bass Pro
Shops Eagle with a lap around the 3/8-mile oval in 9.846 seconds at
120.658 mph. For his qualifying effort, McMahan earned five bonus
points. The next four fastest qualifiers also earned bonus points,
including Donny Schatz (4), Daryn Pittman (3), Becca Anderson (2) and
Brooke Tatnell (1). U.S. 36 Raceway is a high-banked clay oval, and
Paul McMahan now owns the track record.
“You can’t beat that,” McMahan said with the bonus check in his hand.
“Usually it doesn’t pay anything to qualify or be fast. Tonight there
was a little bit more incentive.”
• MAIN-EVENT WINNERS: Jac Haudenschild’s win Saturday night at U.S. 36
Raceway was his first World of Outlaws A-feature victory this season.
There have been eight different winners in 12 race nights to visit the
RacinSoles Victory Lane with the World of Outlaws this season. The win
