Season rapidly approaching
By Gary Thomas
February 19, 2007... The 2007 U.S. racing season for Jonathan Allard and Williams Motorsports is coming up quickly with this weekend's World of Outlaws two day show in Tulare being the first event on tap. The crew has been hard at work putting the new cars together in time for this weekend's action at the Thunderbowl and Jonathan is eager to hit the track.
Last year Jonathan led the Thunderbowl Raceway point standings for much of the season before finishing third in the final rundown when the checkered flag flew in October. Along the way he picked up one win at the racy 1/3 mile clay oval, passing and holding off local driver "Hollywood" Danny Faria Jr. in one of the most exciting Golden State Challenge Series races of the '06 season. JA also set fast time on three separate occasions and won five heat races at the Central Valley speed plant.
The World of Outlaws Sprint Series event in Tulare this weekend should prove to be one of the most challenging events JA and Williams Motorsports will run in this season, except for the Knoxville Nationals. Nearly 30 traveling teams will be in the pits at the Thunderbowl this weekend, including all the big names that ran with the National Sprint Tour last season.

The World of Outlaws haven't raced at the Thunderbowl since a two day event in October of 2005 and that weekend saw Jonathan score a pair of strong top five finishes. With a little luck on his side, JA will certainly be a contender this weekend in Tulare.
Jonathan is coming off of a season that saw him win his first career Golden State Challenge Series championship and his second consecutive Dirt Cup at the Skagit Speedway in Alger, Washington. Overall Jonathan and Williams Motorsports won 11 races, which also marked the second year in a row that JA reached double digit wins.
