CLIMB IN, HANG ON<br />

OPEN-WHEEL CIRCLE TRACK — V8<br />

Armed with the edgy new Mopar look, the Team Mopar sprints<br />

and midgets contingent captured attention (and victories)<br />

throughout 2003. Chief among them was J.J. Yeley, who set<br />

the record for most USAC wins in a season, eclipsing the<br />

previous record of 19 held by the legendary other initial-guy,<br />

A.J. Foyt. Yeley captured the USAC National Sprint Car season<br />

championship driving the <strong>No</strong>. 20 Mopar car owned by 2002<br />

NASCAR Winston Cup Champion Tony Stewart, who held<br />

ownership in several other Mopar USAC entries. Tracy Hines,<br />

Jay Drake and Cory Kruseman also racked up numerous wins<br />

and fast times using Stanton Racing Mopar power. Dave<br />

Steele drove Mopar to victory in three USAC Midget events.<br />

In the World of Outlaws, Danny “The Dude” Lasoski switched<br />

to Paul Kistler-built Mopar power for 2003 and the results<br />

were spectacular. Lasoski posted the Fast Time in qualifying<br />

an astounding 28 times — more than three times as many as<br />

the next in line (Steve Kinser had eight). And backed by that<br />

reliable Mopar power and Tony Stewart Motorsports, he was<br />

locked in a battle for first with Kinser throughout the entire<br />

year as the two of them fought it out for WoO supremacy.<br />

Daryn Pittman also figured into the WoO equation, thanks to<br />

the Mopar power under his front wing; Pittman finished the<br />

season fourth in points.<br />

Mopar supplied the power for several additional<br />

successful V8 dirt-trackers in 2003, and you<br />

can choose some of the same parts<br />

that took them to Victory Lane<br />

in these pages.<br />
