Chad Kemenah: driver of the #70 Premiere Motorsports J&J Chassis with Hampshire Power – Twisted Fisher.net/Stage 8 Locking Fasteners/Attica Speedway Park.
What did you learn last year at Volusia? Totally different race track. We won there and that got us off on a good start.
What unique challenges does this track present? It changes all the time, from wet and heavy too slick and slippery.
Is there any other tracks this compares to that you run at? No.
What 3 drivers will you have to contend with if you are going to win this event? Donny Schatz, Joey Saldana and Steve Kinser.

Dion Hindi: driver of the #11D RealTruck.Com/Stage 8 Locking Fasteners/Hazardous Sports J&J Chassis with Shaver Engines
What did you learn last year at Volusia? How to drive a race car again, I mean I had been out of one at that level for nearly 2 years.
What unique challenges does this track present? This track seems to change from night to night. It can be dry slick one night then the next it can be tacky all night long. It fluctuates more than most race tracks.
Is there any other tracks this compares to that you run at? No this track has it’s own unique set up. What you do here you don’t do anywhere else.
What 3 drivers will you have to contend with if you are going to win this event? Dollansky, Schatz and Kinser.
Aside from winning what would you consider a success for this race? We have to make every race and a couple of top tens. As long as we are learning and making progress each and every night that would be a success.
Justin Henderson: Dan Dan the Sonic Man #D1 Rocket Chassis powered by Hollywood Engines: AEM Performance Filters/Jolt Energy Gum/Stage 8 Locking Fasteners/Focus Factor
What did you learn last year at Volusia? We tried a new shock package and were behind the 8 ball. We really did not learn as much as we hoped.
What unique challenges does this track present? The backstretch is not straight so entering the turns is key. Entering 3 -4 you carry a lot of speed and you wash up if your not set up right.
Is there any other tracks this compares to that you run at? Dodge City, KS is similar but the dirt is not the same.
What 3 drivers will you have to contend with if you are going to win this event? Donny Schatz, Steve Kinser and Danny Lasoski. We have the new Rocket Chassis and we found some things and are excited to get them on the track.
Aside from winning what would you consider a success for this race? Top 5 all 3 nights and being in the top in points.
Jason Martin: NOS Energy Drink/Mafia Motorsports/Stage 8 Locking Fasteners/AutoLoader Multi-Bit Screw Driver/Speedway Motors #36 Maxim powered by Kriner Engines
What did you learn last year at Volusia? It is fast and you have to qualify well.
What unique challenges does this track present? The surface changes all night long and each and every night is different.
Is there any other tracks this compares to that you run at? Vegas would be close to it. Vegas does not change as much through the night.
What 3 drivers will you have to contend with if you are going to win this event? Steve Kinser, Danny Lasoski and Craig Dollansky.
Aside from winning what would you consider a success for this race? Just to get our race car figured out and leave here in the top 10 in points. We are going to try some new combinations with the All Star races and see hope that gets us set for the Outlaw races.
Randy Hannagan: Terry Hannagan Racing #1X Maxim with Don Ott Racing Engines – Penthouse Magazine/Stage 8 Locking Fasteners/Brown & Miller Racing Solutions
What did you learn last year at Volusia? What ever happens at Volusia stays at Volusia. You learn how to tune a motor or you melt it down because of the air down there.
What unique challenges does this track present? Tuning the motor, and you have to be fast here in qualifying. To be fast out of the box, last year we were good but we got in that crash in the first turn. At East Bay we got off to a good start and that gave us good momentum.
Is there any other tracks this compares to that you run at? Fargo is just as fast as Volusia, it is one of the fastest tracks we go to all year.
What 3 drivers will you have to contend with if you are going to win this event? Donny Schatz, Craig Dollansky and Steve Kinser.
Aside from winning what would you consider a success for this race? Coming out of Volusia with everything in tact and being in the top 10 in points.
