One of the main goals that Donny Schatz had for the 2007 season was to win more races than he did in 2006. In earning his first World of Outlaws championship last season, he earned 17 A-Feature wins. He surpassed that mark on Saturday night, after being victorious in the PolyDome Princeton National at Princeton Speedway in Minnesota to claim his 18th A-Feature win of the season and the 69th of his career.

Just as in 2006, Donny Schatz can count on one hand the number of times he has looked at the World of Outlaws championship standings over the course of the season. He has stressed countless times how important it is to continue winning race and that the points will take care of themselves.

Danny Lasoski’s car didn’t sound too good when it crossed the finish line on Friday night at Manzanita Speedway, and the left rear tire didn’t look too good either, but all that mattered was that it crossed the line first, as he earned his sixth World of Outlaws A-Feature win of the season and the second of his career at the storied half-mile.

It didn’t really concern Kerry Madsen that he had never seen Perris Auto Speedway prior to Saturday afternoon, because his team has had plenty of experience and a good deal of success at the half-mile in the past. With veteran crew chief Sonny Kratzer turning the wrenches, the rookie driver was fast right out of the box in his first visit to the track located east of Los Angeles.

Danny Lasoski became the first driver in World of Outlaws history in 2003 to put together a clean sweep of a race night, when he did it at Calistoga Speedway, by setting fast time, winning a heat race, winning the Crane Cams Dash and winning the A-Feature. He nearly matched that feat on Saturday night again at Calistoga Speedway, as he won the second heat race, was victorious in the Crane Cams Dash and dominated the A-Feature. The only thing missing was quick time, as he was second fastest in time trials.
