From the desk of Jason Meyers:
"In January of 2004 with the help of Guy Stockbridge and eventually Chris Luck in 2006, I set out to build a World of Outlaw sprint car team capable of winning the World of Outlaws Championship. Over the past eight years, seven seasons of Outlaw competition, the team we created through hard work and sleepless nights has finished in the top-five seven times with three runner up finishes and recently two championships in succession.
Along the way, we had the opportunity to work with some of the finest individuals in motorsports and have made friends for life that we will cherish forever. Many of these folks worked daily within Elite Racing and many were sponsors and supporters that made our dreams reachable through their belief in our marketing and performance capabilities.

PLANS STILL UNCERTAIN FOR 2012 The "Wild Child" Josh Weller reflects on the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series that saw him score one feature win and finish an impressive third in the overall point chase. Weller's victory came at the New Egypt Speedway driving his family owned #63. Later in the season, Weller filled the seat of the Kathy and Pat Palladino #99 and delivered solid performances that earned Josh a third place finish in the driver point chase. A big disappointment for the Weller/Palladino Team came at the September 4 Georgetown Speedway event. While leading, the nose wing mount broke on the #99, slowing the car dramatically with the possible feature win going right out the window. Weller certainly wanted to give the Palladino's that big win in the first state.
