World of Outlaws point leader Donny Schatz started in 6th place at the 23rd
annual King’s Royal presented by Crown Royal at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg,
Ohio.
Schatz worked his No. 15 ParkerStore J&J with Shaver power inside the top three
during the 40-lap marathon. He took second with five laps to go, but could not
run down eventual winner Joey Saldana.

“It’s hard to be happy with second,” said Schatz, following his ninth
second place of the season. “In the past, Eldora has not been one of my stronger
tracks, but I can honestly say that Saturday night I felt better than I ever
have there in the past.”
Schatz was the second fastest qualifier in the field of 57 cars entered in this
year’s King’s Royal. In this unique race drivers had to win one of the six heat
races to be in the dash event, which set the first six starting positions of the
feature event. Schatz understood the consequences and charged from fourth to win
the second heat race and earned the fifth starting position in the six car dash.
Schatz finished sixth in the four lap race and started his 11th consecutive
King’s Royal feature event on the outside of row three.
In the feature, Schatz moved quickly into the top five and continued to search
for the best way around the high-banked half mile dirt oval. The Fargo, North
Dakota racer tried a number of racing grooves as he pursued the competitors in
the front. There were a couple of near misses, especially when he was running
fourth and trying to pass Jac Haudenschild for third. Haudenschild lost a right
rear tire and flipped as he was coming down the back straightaway and Schatz was
able to avoid a disaster.
On the restart, Schatz made a couple of attempts to take second from Danny
Lasoski before finally taking the position with six laps remaining. While he was
battling Lasoski, the leader was able to pull away. Schatz could not reel in
Saldana and scored a career-best second in the King’s Royal.
“The track was really fast and we didn’t get to the front with enough time to
chase down Joey,” said Schatz. “This was a new car on Friday night and we know
what it’s capable of doing, so it would be an understatement to say that we are
looking forward to the races next week at Lernerville and Williams Grove.”
Schatz ParkerStore Team Start Month of Money at King's Royal
Donny Schatz Motorsports has a winning combindation of parts and
components. The team uses K&N Engineering Products. “With the K&N Sprint Car
Airbox we’re confident we’re getting maximum airflow to produce the highest
performance,” said Schatz. “The debris stays out of our motor with K&N.”
Schatz has taken the ParkerStore sprinter to victory lane five times this year.
The team is looking forward to the 15th annual Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup
race at Lernerville Speedway. The Silver Cup is the second race during the
“Month of Money,” which includes four high paying races: King’s Royal
($50,000-to-win), Silver Cup ($30,000-to-win), Cleveland Brothers Summer
Nationals ($20,000-to-win) and the Knoxville Nationals ($140,000-to-win).

Phil Burkart was solid at Saturday’s qualifying session at Bandimere Speedway in
Denver. The Checker, Schuck’s, Kragen Monte Carlo driver held on to his No. 6
spot for race day.
On a weekend where 140-degree track temperatures were common, a blazing sun made
watching from the stands a survival sport. Burkart and his team were consistent
on Friday and Saturday. They entered eliminations with high hopes, but those
hopes were tempered by a variety of equalizers.

Burkart paced Team CSK during qualifying, putting four solid laps on the
board when many of the elite teams were happy to get from end-to-end just once
or twice. His Friday night run, a strong 4.952, earned him a solid place in the
top half of the field.
Burkart uses K&N Engineering Oil Filters (HP-5001)
during the NHRA Racing Season. “The K&N Filter is absolutely optimal for the
demands our race cars face,” said Team Worsham Manager Bob Wilber. “Time is
crucial and the K&N Filter is easy to install, we literally spin it on with one
hand and tighten it.”
“We ended up with a top-half position, so it’s not surprising that we were in
the top half in both sessions,” said Burkart. “We just have a sold race car, and
it’s doing what we ask it to do.”
However, Burkart ended his Denver weekend with his CSK completely sideways
before bowing out to Eric Medlen in round one. No glory in this conclusion after
a strong build-up.
“When it’s this hot, at any track, wild stuff will happen,” said Burkart. “Add
in the fact we’re a mile high and then factor in the way the ladder lined up,
with top-ranked cars scattered all through the 16-car filed, and all the
match-ups looked like toss-ups to me. We knew we could run well, but we also
knew the whole first round would be a total adventure.”
In fact, John Force managed no better than the 10th spot, while his teammate
Eric Medlen landed 11th. Cruz Pedregon brought up the bottom of the sheet in the
No. 16 position, while Gary Densham surprised the filed when he grabbed the No.
1 spot. With Burkart qualifying 6th, a first-round run with Medlen was
scheduled.

“We had a bit of a long morning, chasing a leak in the fuel system,” said
Burkart. We got it all sorted out about 15 minutes before the first pair of Top
Fuelers. When you go through that sort of thrash, you hope it’s one of the
indicators that everything is going to go your way. I was pretty pumped up. I
just wanted to go out there and win the round.”
Burkart maintained his position at the flash of amber on Sunday. His .083 light
gave him a big jump on Medlen, and the two took off for the far end as the heat
waves glimmered above the very hot track. Burkart led at the first timer, but
the cars were basically dead even by 330-feet. At that point, Burkart’s car made
a wild move on the slick surface, and he quickly corrected to straighten the car
out. Doing that, the rear end attempted to swap locations with the nose of the
car, and the blue CSK Monte Carlo violently fishtailed. Burkart was able to calm
the car down, bring it back straight and continue down the track without
crossing the center line or hitting the wall, but the day was over.
“It got out there pretty far, but the guys told me we dropped a cylinder at the
hit,” said Burkart. “Dropping holes here is nothing new, especially on
dangerously hot days, but for some reason the car got very loose out there. You
don’t have time to think, you just react. It got loose, I brought it back, and
the rear end swung out wide. It was pretty sideways for a while, but I got it
back again. That part was all instinct, and I’m glad we didn’t hit anything, but
as soon as I was going straight again I saw Eric heading off into the distance
and I knew we’d lost.”
Next, Burkart and his team head to Seattle.

The TRX450R is not just another four-wheeler. It is one of the most anticipated
quads of the past 15 years. ATV enthusiasts like the motor which has the basic
architecture of the motorcycle and the engine cases' interior webbing that was
completely redesigned.
Powerlid for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2014 Honda TRX450R and TRX450ER
For 2006, the TRX450R is all new from the ground-up, with
more power and an electric start option. For hardcore race and sport ATV's K&N
Engineering has a new Powerlid (HA-4506-T)
that eliminates restrictive ATV intake snorkels by replacing the stock air box
lid with a high airflow lid.
The Powerlid uses K&N washable and reusable filter technology to make a great ATV
even better with improved airflow. "When you use a
Powerlid, it changes the stock jetting considerably," said K&N Powersports Brand
Manager Johnny Jump. "Typically it can be difficult to find the right jets to
make the bike run perfectly. K&N supplies the right jets to make sure the rider
can tune his bike accurately and ride it immediately." HA-4506-T is designed for the 2006 to 2014 Honda TRX450R and 2006 to 2014 Honda TRX450ER.
All K&N Powerlids come with a PreCharger filter wrap for the lid and a
carburetor jet selection kit if required. "A Pre-Charger/Dry Charger Filter wrap
helps to increase the service life of the Filter and helps stop particles of
dirt from clogging up the filter," said Jump. "It is typically used in longer
off-road races."
It was a bittersweet weekend for the Jeremy Campbell Motorsports team. On the
positive side Campbell had a strong showing in his first ever Kings Royal start
at Eldora Speedway; on the negative side Campbell battered a considerable amount
of equipment.
World of Outlaws Jeremy Campbell
World of Outlaws racer Campbell ran very well in his heat race and was
working his way through A Feature traffic when he got into a rut and flipped.
Both Campbell and the car were hurt but they were ready to race the next day on
the high-banked, high-speed half-mile oval.
Campbell uses K&N Engineering Air and Oil Filters on his sprint car. “The K&N
Products protect my engine,” said Campbell. “With all the debris on the field
the K&N Filters keep the dirt out.”
More than 50 cars were on hand at The Knight Before the Kings Royal. Campbell
struggled and started in the C Feature. A car broke in front of him and Campbell
went up and over again for back to back DNFs (did not finish).
On Saturday Campbell was on the front row of the heat race and transferred
directly to the A Feature for his first Kings Royal. Working his way forward in
the feature he was lapped right before a caution which locked him into position.
Campbell finished 13th.
“I really felt like we had a stronger car than 13th,” Campbell said. “With
the luck we’ve had this weekend we’ll take thirteen and try harder next week. We
have too many races ahead of us to dwell on the ones that are over.”
Because the Kings Royal is a special format, the race does not count toward the
March to the Mean 15. The World of Outlaws action continues Tuesday at
Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. Next are the Williams Grove Summer
Nationals Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Mercedes Benz designs and powers the Dodge Sprinter, a vehicle used for
commercial applications. The back doors open to the vans full height and swing
open from 180 to 270 degrees depending on the wheelbase.
Replacement Air Filter for Dodge Sprinter
Sprinters come in 2500 (three-quarter ton) and 3500
(one-ton) ratings however the 2500 series is the only one to include a passenger
model that fits up to ten occupants. Two people sit up front and as many as
three more rows of seats can be installed. Sprints have a flat cargo floor
storage space ranges from 247 to 473 cubic feet.
K&N Engineering has designed a lifetime replacement Air Filter (33-2319)
for the 2004, 2005, 2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500 2.7L L5 and the 2004, 2005, 2006
Dodge Sprinter 2500 2.7L L5.
Lift the hood of the Sprinter and the K&N Air Filter is custom designed to fit
in the factory air box. The drop-in design means adding performance is simple,
just remove the disposable air filter in the Sprinter and replace it with K&N's
Air Filter (33-2319).
The washable, reusable, high flow flat panel filter is designed to increase
horsepower and acceleration while providing excellent filtration. The (33-2319)
is 1.5 inches in height (38mm) with an outside length of 12.375 inches (314 Mm)
and an outside width of 10.875 inches (279mm).
Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design comprised
of an oiled cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of epoxy-coated aluminum
screen. The filters capture airborne dirt particles while allowing high volume
air flow. These particles than cling to the outside of the filter and become
part of the filtering media.
The pleating on K&N Filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N
Million Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle will
ever need.
