(Concord, NC) Versatility will be the name of the game this weekend for World of Outlaws drivers as they head to the 1/3-mile high-banked bullring at Attica Raceway Park in Ohio on Friday, May 21, following six consecutive races on half-miles. The series has competed on a 1/3-mile track twice this season with Jason Meyers and Joey Saldana picking up wins.

Following a trio of races last week on the East Coast, Joey Saldana has moved back atop the World of Outlaws championship standings for the second time this year and currently holds a 13-point advantage over 20-time series champion Steve Kinser, while Jason Meyers, the series leader in wins is third, 20 markers out of the top spot.

Dale Blaney beat the World of Outlaws last season at Attica Raceway Park, taking the top spot when Donny Schatz tangled with a lapped car while leading and he wound up holding off Meyers, who led early in the race.

Schatz, the four-time and defending World of Outlaws champion, was victorious at Attica Raceway Park in 2008. He finished third in 2007 and was eighth in his debut at the high-banked bullring in 2005. The North Dakota native is looking to return to Victory Lane for the first time since the season opener on February 5.

Saldana won at Attica in 2007 with the World of Outlaws and has finished second and eighth in the two following races. In his career at the high-banked bullring, he has won a total of six times and has over 30 Top-10 finishes.

The World of Outlaws competed at Attica Raceway Park for the first time in 1990 with Steve Kinser picking up the checkered flag in that race. The 20-time series champion won the following season as well and is the only driver that has won more than once with the series at the track. Kinser has a total of four career wins at Attica over the years.

In each of the last seven races for the World of Outlaws at Attica, there has been a different winner.

THE BUZZ
Jason Meyers heads to Attica carrying the momentum from his fifth win of the season last Saturday night at Virginia Motor Speedway. He has finished in the Top-Five in each of his last three starts at Attica Raceway Park.

Joey Saldana leads the series standings heading to Attica where he has six overall career wins and over 30 Top-10 finishes in his career at the track. The Indiana native came from 22nd to finish eighth there last season.

Steve Kinser won in 1990 and 1991 at the 1/3-mile bullring and looks for his first win of 2010 on a short track. He has been victorious twice on half-miles and is just 13 markers out of the point lead as he chases his record 21st title.

Donny Schatz looks to rebound after having some bad luck last season at Attica. He led 20 laps before contact with a lapped car ended his night. He won at the track in 2008 with the series.

Paul McMahan has had a great deal of success in his career at Attica, finishing in the Top-10 in nearly every start he has made at the track as he looks for his first win there. He is currently sixth in points and won a few weeks ago in Ohio at Eldora Speedway.

Chad Kemenah has won 20-times in his career and has well over 100 Top-10 finishes at his home track of Attica Raceway Park.

Jac Haudenschild, who has a couple of career wins at Attica, will have the chance to race against his son Sheldon for the second time in a World of Outlaws race. They raced for the first time against each other with the series last fall at Eldora.

Craig Dollansky has the best average finish at Attica Raceway Park of the drivers currently competing full-time with the World of Outlaws, with that being six. He has finished sixth or better in three of his four career starts with the series at the track and been among the Top-10 all four times he has raced with the series there.

Sam Hafertepe Jr. came all the way from 21st to finish fifth last season at Attica. He looks to carry momentum from a runner-up finish last weekend as he continues to chase his first World of Outlaws win.

Ben Gregg and Toni Lutar who are competing for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award will both be making their first career starts at Attica Raceway Park.
