“The weekend went a little different than we hoped,” said Schatz. “But finishing with a strong third place finish helps keep things in perspective. We made a couple of bad laps in qualifying on Friday night that really put us behind right out of the box. By Saturday night the track was much more to our liking. I tried to run all over the place, but we couldn’t get the lead and ended up third.”

The bad laps came in Friday during the opener. Schatz fought an uphill battle, which ended up being one lane throughout the early stages of the night. He finished eighth in the second heat race and 10th in the B-Feature.

Things went better for Schatz and the ParkerStore Team on Saturday night. The Fargo, North Dakota racer qualified 13th and won the first heat race. He finished second in the dash event, which earned him a front row starting spot in the 40 lap feature event.

At the start of the event, Schatz had to take evasive action as polesitter Jason Meyers got crossed up. Tim Kaeding took advantage and raced past both and Schatz was in hot pursuit, but could not make the winning move. He took third for the third time in five events this year.

Schatz returns to action next weekend in Arizona for a single night program at USA Race Park at Tucson, Arizona on Friday and at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday. Last season, Schatz finished second and first at USA Race Park in two events and came home second last fall at Manzanita.

Schatz and the ParkerStore Team will continue to use a lot of the equipment that has proven to be successful during last year’s championship season. Schatz uses K&N Engineering products. “The K&N Airbox works flawlessly,” he said. “K&N builds a superior product and we are able to attain maximum horsepower.”

World of Outlaws Sprint Season Begins for K&N Racer

Jonathan Allard sported a new chassis for the first time in 2007 at Tulare, California in the World of Outlaws Sprint Series. On a very cold Friday night he went up against 42 other sprinters at Thunderbowl Raceway.

Overnight rain made the track surface very fast and passing was nearly impossible during the heats. Allard’s best shot to get a good finish was to get a nice start. He was able to settle into fourth.

During the heat Allard felt a lot of pressure from Australian Brooke Tatnell. After five laps Allard was able to find a nice groove and pull away to finish fourth in the Williams Motorsports, GT Trends, K&N Filters No. 0.

For the 35 lap feature Jonathan lined up in the number 19 position. On lap 23 he was tagged from behind and spun out. The track was so difficult, World of Outlaws point leader Donny Schatz was not fast enough to make the initial cut for the A Feature and 20 time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kisner didn’t make it to the feature at all.

On Saturday, Allard turned the fastest lap  out of 41 cars. The top 16 qualifiers made the inversion for the heat race and Jonathan lined up on the pole of heat two. The Williams Motorsports racer beat defending World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year Chad Kemenah into the first turn and took command of the heat.

Joey Saldana closed in around five laps and hounded Allard for a few turns and took the lead with a few laps left. Allard kept his cool and went on to score a second place finish which put him in the dash.

The 30-year-old Chico, California racer had an inside row two starting spot. During the first lap a malfunction near the front of the car sent him sideways in front of the rest of the field. The other cars had nowhere to go and piled into the No.0 machine. The Williams crew did what they could and Allard took the green flag of the A-main. After completing a lap he pulled off the raceway and scored an official finish of 25th.

Prior to the dash incident he team seemed to have their machine going well, and the learning curve might not take very long with the new chassis. “We use K&N Engineering Oil and Air Filters along with K&N’s Carbon Fiber Air Box,” said Allard. “K&N makes the best products, the oil and air filters are easy to use and maintain. We just wash, assemble and race and we never have to worry about performance. We depend on K&N.”

The Golden State Challenge Series kicks off in less than two weeks with the annual Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico.
