Jason Meyers mentioned prior to the main event on Saturday just how much he enjoys racing on high speed half-mile tracks like Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, North Dakota and how many different facets of a driver's abilities are tested on those types of tracks. He especially enjoyed his visit to Red River Valley on Saturday night, after winning a thrilling battle with Craig Dollansky in the 30-lap contest that pit the leaders in heavy lapped traffic for most of the race at breathtaking speeds to score his fourth win of the season.

Meyers took the lead for the first time on the 10th lap and held the point until the 23rd circuit when Dollansky got around him in traffic. Meyers retook the lead on the 25th lap and would pace the field the rest of the way to earn the $10,000 win, which was the 30th of his World of Outlaws career, tying him with Andy Hillenburg for 13th on the all-time list.

“I'll tell you what, that was a race,” said Meyers. “I don't know what everyone up (in the crowd) there thought, but, this was incredible. These guys did a heck of a job tonight working on this car. That was an awesome race car. We had a great race with Craig (Dollansky) in traffic. It seemed like we passed some of those car five or six times.”

The 30-lap event went non-stop in just under eight and a half minutes. Meyers started fourth and moved up to third on the opening lap. He then worked on Jac Haudenschild for the runner-up spot before setting his sights on Dollansky who paced the first nine laps.

“We've done that here a few times before,” noted the native of Clovis, California of the caution free race. “This place is big and wide and you kind of stay out of trouble. That just makes for great racing. I'll tell you what, you start looking at the lap board about half-way through and you figure you're at lap 25 and still have 16 or 17 to go. We had a great race car and that made it easy to drive.”

Craig Dollansky jumped out to a quick lead over Haudenschild on the opening lap using the high side in turns one and two. Meyers moved into second on the third lap and began to track down Dollansky as the pair hit lapped traffic. Meyers closed in on the fifth lap in traffic, with Dollansky pulling away again in light traffic. In open track, Meyers gained ground and by the time the pair was in heavy traffic on the ninth lap, Meyers was right there battling for the lead. He took the top spot in turn three on the 10th lap aboard the GLR Investments KPC and quickly began to open a lead on Dollansky.

Meyers and Dollansky pulled away from the rest of the field as they continued to work traffic. Meyers was held up on the 23rd lap, giving Dollansky the opening he needed on the high side of turn four to retake the lead. The pair battled for the next couple of laps weaving in and out of traffic on the high-banked half-mile and when Dollansky was held up on the back straightaway on the 25th go-around, Meyers went under him to make the pass for the lead and ultimately the win.

“The car would pretty much go anywhere, though the top was the preferred line,” shared Meyers. “Some of the guys you weren't quite sure where they were going and you were gaining on them so fast you really had to take a guess at it. I made a couple of mistakes and Craig got back by me. What a race. He raced me clean and we raced back and forth and that's how it's supposed to be done.”
