As the days are getting shorter and most racing seasons have ended here in the United States, there is one place where it is warm and Sprint Car Racing is alive – Australia. After World Finals, the two-time World of Outlaws Champion Jason Meyers will be heading to Australia for the New Year to begin his 2014 racing campaign with Steve Caunt Racing.
“The last time I paired up with Steve Caunt Racing in 2012, I had a great time,” explained Meyers. “The SCR9 is a good car and I look forward to getting back in the driver’s seat. “
Meyers debut in Australia will not be driving, but as a mentor to Kyle Caunt at Sydney Speedway on January 17. His driving duties will begin the following day at Lismore Speedway on Saturday night with the World Series Sprintcars.
The World of Outlaws Champion will then travel to Victoria for three notable races: The Presidents Cup, The Kings Challenge, and The Classic.
“Australia is not only a great place to race, but a great place to visit,” Meyers expressed. “It will be a short stay, but I am really looking forward to being a part of these fantastic races. Australia has some of the best racers, tracks, and fans out there, so it should be a great trip.”
In addition to taking on Australia’s best drivers and a few American Outlaws, this trip will qualify Meyers for the World Challenge at the 2014 Knoxville Nationals.
