“There are so many people to thank for this,” said Schatz. “It starts with people like the late Ted Johnson who built this series from scratch 29 years ago. Racers like Steve Kinser, who is the greatest sprint car driver, and the World Racing Group for keeping us headed in the right direction.”

The evening capped off a career season for the Fargo, North Dakota racer. He took his Global ParkerStore sponsored J&N with K&N Engineering products to win the World of Outlaws championship by 146 points over Joey Saldana. Schatz season included 71 top ten finishes in 75 A-feature events. He led the series in nearly every category including 19 feature wins, 467 laps led, 53 top five finishes and 12 Crane Cams Dash wins.

Schatz also made history by becoming the first driver to win five of the major races in the same season. He won all four “Month of Money” events, the Kings Royal, Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup, Williams Grove Summer Nationals and the Knoxville Nationals.

“We had a great year,” said Schatz. “We were determined to try and surpass some of the things we did last year and we were able to. Each championship is special because the paths we took to win each one was different.”

There is no time off for the 2007 champion. Schatz is in the southern hemisphere where he’ll be behind the wheel of a sprint car Friday night at Kwinana Beach, Western Australia. It’s the first round of action for the World Series Sprint Cars.

“We flew to the other side of the world and really enjoy racing there,” said Schatz. “Most of our focus is on racing in Sydney at Parramatta City Raceway.”

K&N dynamometer testing shows a 12.0 horsepower gain @ 5000 RPM. The 6.1 liter engine is new for this vehicle. K&N designers removed the OE air box and intake and built a larger, by diameter, intake tube to open up the breathing capacity necessary for the 6.1 liter engine to get the full amount of air it needs. The K&N cold air intake design provides excellent air filtration and lower restriction than the factory air box system resulting in an immediate power gain.

A large chrome top K&N high flow air filter (RF-1042) allows free flowing air into the intake tube. The heat shield assembly is installed into the engine bay using factory mounting points. The heat shield isolates the K&N air filter from the hotter temperatures around the engine and allows it to receive a consistent flow of fresh cooler air. K&N used one of the largest filters in stock for this intake system to allow virtually unrestricted air flow and increased dirt capacity.

K&N also incorporated a radius adapter at the entrance to the intake tube to help smooth out air flow coming through the air filter. The 57-1555 can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less and is backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

“This was just a test session,” said Swanson. “I moved up to the Legends Series this year which is on pavement. Driving in dirt is really different. On pavement you have to be smooth and precise, but with dirt I was always thinking about my next move and always doing something with the steering and the throttle.”

The midget was equipped with K&N products. “The K&N protects the engine and allows it to breathe,” he said. “Dirt is not a problem with K&N.”

Swanson’s next race is the Fall Classic Legends Series Race at the Las Vegas Bullring. He is hoping for a top ten finish. “There are going to be a lot of cars at this race,” said Swanson. “I’ll be racing with my K&N products which will give me more horsepower and an edge to place as high as I can.”
