Like a kid that counts the days down until Christmas, The King’s Royal is one of those events that World of Outlaws drivers countdown to. But sometimes just like a child the build up to the day and the night before are sometimes better than the actual day, especially when your socking is full of fruit and your packages are full of underwear. That is how Jason Meyers and his Elite Racing team’s weekend went. Even though the excitement was the night before, Meyers was able to retake the top spot and left Eldora Speedway with a 13 point lead in the World of Outlaws point standings.
