By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
NEW RICHMOND, WI – Aug. 5, 2011 – Jason Rauen of Farley, Iowa, surprised even himself with a clean sweep of Friday night’s qualifying program for the USA Nationals presented by U.S. Steel at Cedar Lake Speedway.
An upstart 31-year-old dirt Late Model driver making just his third career appearance at the high-banked, three-eighths-mile oval, Rauen was fastest in the 54-car Ohlins Shocks Time Trials session, won a heat race and captured the 10-lap dash to earn the pole position starting spot in Saturday night’s 24th annual 100-lap, $50,000-to-win A-Main. He will lead the field to the green flag in what will be both his first-ever start in the USA Nationals and a World of Outlaws Late Model Series event.
PEVELY, Mo. – Aug. 6, 2011 – Craig Dollansky proved to be this season’s World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Ironman when he moved to the point on Saturday night at I-55 Raceway and held off defending champion Jason Meyers for his series-leading seventh victory of the year. Meyers was second followed by Lucas Wolfe, Kerry Madsen and Donny Schatz. (CLICK HERE FOR FULL RACE REPORT.)

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Aug. 5, 2011 – Donny Schatz wanted a victory at Bloomington Speedway since the last time the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series rolled out of the pit area. Unfortunately for Schatz, he didn’t know he would have to wait 11 years to do so, but made sure he wouldn’t let the chance slip away again by charging to the front and holding on during two green-white-checkered flag periods to win his fourth event of the season.
