Saldana Finishes Runner-Up in Gold Cup, Leads Laps

CHICO, Calif. (Sept. 12, 2015)– The World of Outlaws Gold Cup Race of Champions wrapped tonight at Silver Dollar Speedway.

With 41 cars in the pits, the two-flight format was in play again tonight.  It was more ‘Cowboy up’ as the drivers tried to find the quickest way around a track that was faster than last night, but still tricky to negotiate.

Joey Saldana wheeled the Motter Equipment HE&M Saw Beltline Body Shop 71M to the No. 2 flight two qualifying position with an 11.338-second lap.

Quick Time No. 16 and Second Place Finish for Saldana at Silver Dollar Speedway

CHICO, Calif. (Sept. 11, 2015) – Before we go racing tonight we pause to remember lives lost on one of America’s darkest days, 14 years ago. Today a resilient nation remembers the past, but looks to the future.

Tonight was the opening night of World of Outlaws Gold Cup Race of Champions competition at Silver Dollar Raceway. With 44 cars signed in, qualifying was divided into two flights. Motter Motorsports’ driver Joey Saldana was in the second flight and blistered the quarter-mile high bank oval in 11.958 seconds. The driver of the Motter Equipment HE&M Saw Beltline Body Shop 71M Sprint Car was quickest in the second flight and quickest overall, racking up his 16th quick time of the season. He also held the distinction of being the only pilot in the 11-second category. Saldana, the current track record holder (10.918 seconds set in 2009), did a masterful job negotiating the rough, choppy race track terrain.

Donny Schatz 200 Wins and Counting

INDIANAPOLIS (Sept. 9, 2015) – Eighteen years ago, Donny Schatz was a 21-year-old second-year World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series racer chasing legends Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell around a quarter-mile dirt oval in western central Oregon. It was a night he will always remember because racing with the Outlaws was his dream and, on that particular August night back in 1998, he drove past them to win his first career WoO A-Feature. Monday night at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Washington, Schatz accomplished something he never dreamed of. Schatz was first to the checkers again and joined the two legends as the only drivers in the series’ 38-year history to win 200 WoO A-Feature events.

“I never thought I could dream big enough to be part of this sport’s history,” Schatz said following his 200th career WoO A-Feature victory. “This is unbelievable. I’ve been blessed to be around great people my whole life. My family has supported me wholeheartedly to this point and these guys I get to race with are awesome. Without their hard work, and all the guys who ever worked for me, there’s no way I would have ever gotten this far.”

Sides Battles Just Outside Top 10 During Rough Races in Washington

Inside Line Promotions – ELMA, Wash. (Sept. 9, 2015) – Jason Sides narrowly missed the heat race inversion during both World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series races in Washington last weekend.

Sides qualified 15th quickest – a little more than a tenth of a second out of the inversion – on Saturday at Skagit Speedway in Alger and he timed in 13th quickest – less than seven hundredths of a second from the inversion – on Monday at Grays Harbor Raceway.

“Qualifying is everything,” he said. “We were just barely out of the inversion both nights. That puts you behind every time.”

Sides then finished where he started – fifth – in a heat race both nights to lock into the main event. However, both tracks were extremely rough and Sides decided not to push the issue.

The remarkable results for Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing (TSR) driver Donny Schatz and the TSR Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance team continued north of the border this weekend during the ninth annual Oil City Cup at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta.

Gold Cup a Tale of Two Parts as Schatz Picks up His 29th Win of the Season

Powers past Joey Saldana to score his first Gold Cup win in 11 years 

CHICO, Calif. – Sept. 12, 2015 – The finale of the 62nd Annual Gold Cup Race of Champions on Saturday night at Silver Dollar Speedway was a tale of two parts – one belonged to Joey Saldana and the other to Donny Schatz.

It was Schatz’s part that counted most though as he led the field across the finish.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to victory lane here at the Gold Cup,” said Schatz who won his first and, until tonight, only Gold Cup championship on Sept. 11, 2004. “I know we won here in the spring but you eye that Gold Cup when you come to this place. Damn proud to win it tonight.”

Saldana, who came into the night after a second place run in Friday night’s feature at Silver Dollar, led the field to the green flag and held off challenges early. As Schatz quickly battled from sixth to second in just the first five laps, Saldana maintained his lead.
