Press Release Submitted by MOComm on 09/10/2007 at 11:21 AM Send To Friend | Report Press Release


Weekend at Silver Dollar Did Not Go as Planned

CLOVIS, Calif. (September 9, 2007) –Jason Meyers and the Elite Racing,
Primerica Financial, Elite Landscaping, GLR Investments, Team
Worldwide, Carbon Raptor DLC, Ridgeline Framing Maxim Chassis with
Garrett Racing Engines World of Outlaws (WoO) sprint car team got to
spend a week at home in northern California, before heading to the
traditional and famed Gold Cup Race of Champions.

QUALIFYING NIGHT – 54TH ANNUAL GOLD CUP RACE OF CHAMPIONS

After having the WoO field split amongst two qualifying nights based
on points at the time of the "draw," Meyers and Elite Racing would be
scheduled to race their qualifier on Thursday night.

Qualifying fifth, Meyers would not have any of the WoO drivers that
are ahead of him in points finish ahead of him in time trials.

Battling an extremely tight race car in his heat race, Meyers would
finish fifth in his heat race on the high-banked quarter-mile race
track.  Lining up twelfth for the A-Main event, Meyers would go over
the cushion in turn four and would have his work cut out for him
making his way back through the field.  His eleventh place finish
would put him solidly in the field for the forty lap A-Main event on
Saturday, with the field being set by points earned throughout the two
qualifying nights.

"You really couldn't run on the top tonight, so everyone was on the
bottom," said Meyers.  "We had some ground to make up after going off
the track, and with everyone running on the bottom, it made for an
interesting nigh for us.  We have a lot of our friends and family in
town for this event, not to mention our local sponsors, since we are
only a few hours from home."

WILL ELITE RACING BE THE GOLDEN TEAM AT THE GOLD CUP?

Knowing that he would have to put his "elbows up" on Saturday, as the
Elite Racing Team accumulated enough points to line up eighteenth in
the Gold Cup Race of Champions.
With the track in good shape for the Gold Cup finale, Meyers knew that
he has had some wins at the speedway (three) and understood that he
truly knows his way around the small speedplant.

Having to pass drivers such as Craig Dollansky, Daryn Pittman and
Danny Lasoski, Meyers would cross the line in seventh place after the
forty lap A-Main event.

"The track took rubber, but it was still racy enough for us to pass
eleven cars," said Meyers.  "Our guys have worked so hard all season
long, and it's been nice to be back to making things happen again –
everything has been holding together and we are doing well in the
points again."
