Jason Meyers held off late race challenges from Donny Schatz and Joey Saldana to win the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series A-Main Feature at North Central Speedway Saturday night, his seventh victory of the 2010 season.

“It feels great to win,” said Meyers. “We had a little bit of a dry spell after a great start to the season and we’ve been digging hard here. This entire team has been working hard and I think my confidence was down a little and we are getting that back and really getting rolling now.”

Meyers endured five restarts, the final one coming with four laps remaining, to hold the lead for the entire 35-lap distance. Schatz settled for second, after making a furious charge for the lead on the last restart, with Joey Saldana right on his heels in third.

“He raced me clean and I guess you can’t win them all,” said Schatz of Meyers. “It doesn’t seem like we are winning too many, but we had an awesome car. I can’t thank my guys enough. They just keep plugging away and every night they keep giving me something even better than the night before. I probably left a few laps out there and didn’t get aggressive enough at the right times.”

Kraig Kinser finished fourth and Tim Kaeding fifth.

Joey Saldana continues to lead the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championship standings, currently holding a 20-point margin over Steve Kinser.

Next up on the 2010 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series schedule is the
fourth and final round of the Showdown for the Bud Crown, Kasey’s King of LaSalle Presented By Budweiser at LaSalle Speedway in Illinois on Thursday, July 8.
