Inside Line Promotions – CARROLLTON, Mo. (Oct. 10, 2018) – Mason Daniel will make his debut with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series on Saturday at the famed Terre Haute Action Track in Terre Haute, Ind., during the running of the Wabash Clash.
The race will also mark his first-ever start in a 410ci winged sprint car. Daniel was scheduled to race a 410 sprint car earlier this season, but rain interrupted those plans.
“We’ll get to see how we stack up against the best in the world,” he said. “We are hoping to have a good weekend with the Outlaws. Getting experience in the 410 is the main objective. I’m looking forward to it and ready to get back on the track.”
Daniel, who is in the midst of his first full season in a sprint car, has a pair of wins this year. He was victorious for the first time in a sprint car in 360 competition at the famed Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on June 16. He followed that up win a win just two starts later at another historic venue of Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Mo. Both of those tracks are sprawling half-mile ovals similar to Terre Haute Action Track.
“I actually enjoy racing on the half miles more than I do the smaller tracks,” he shared. “Hopefully I can translate some of the experience from running on flat half miles at places like Knoxville (Raceway), Sedalia (Missouri State Fair Speedway) and Lakeside (Speedway) over to running Terre Haute.”
Daniel, who moved from California to Missouri prior to this season to advance his racing career, is being mentored by Danny Lasoski, who is the 2001 World of Outlaws champion. Lasoski won five times in his Hall of Fame career at Terre Haute with the Outlaws, including four straight in 2002-03.
“Danny will definitely be a big help this weekend,” Daniel said. “He has so much knowledge about throttle control and everything you need to do. It will be good to get to the track and have him run through things with me and what I need to do to be good.”
So far this season Daniel has made 38 starts, recording 18 top-10 finishes, with 11 of those being top-five showings. Following the event at Terre Haute, Daniel will have one more weekend of competition remaining this season.
“We only have two or three races left this year and those will all be with the Outlaws,” he said. “We’ll finish with a few more than 40 races on the season. We wish that number would have been higher, but it’s a good number, coming to the Midwest and racing against the level of competition out here. There are so many good drivers out here and you have to get up to speed fast. I think we did a good job of that this year. We are really looking forward to next year.”
