Entry List for the Second Annual VAULT World Finals Continues to Grow
Concord, NC-- October 28, 2008--The entry list for the second annual VAULT World Finals for the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series at The Dirt Track at Lowe's Motor Speedway, October 30-November 1, continues to grow, with nearly 40 drivers from across the country having pre-entered the three-day event.
There will be 15 different states represented by drivers that have pre-entered the VAULT World Finals, as well Canada and Australia. Of the drivers pre-entered, there will be 23 Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championships accounted for, as well nearly 900 A-Feature wins, dating back to the inaugural 1978 campaign. Of the drivers on the entry list, nearly half have been victorious in an Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series event during their career.
Leading the way will be two-time defending Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion and current series point leader Donny Schatz, who is closing in on his third consecutive series title. He leads the World of Outlaws with 17 A-Feature wins this season and has a couple of victories in his career at The Dirt Track at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
Jason Meyers, who won the opener of the VAULT World Finals last season, looks to complete the best season of his career, as he enters the weekend with eight A-Feature wins and 47 Top-Five finishes. He is 123 points behind Schatz in the standings and still has a mathematical shot at winning the title.
Steve Kinser, the 20-time World of Outlaws champions, who won the thrilling finale of the inaugural VAULT World Finals last season, looks to extend his string of Top-10 finishes at The Dirt Track at Lowe's Motor Speedway. He has finished in the Top-10 in all 17 events he has competed in at the track.
