Tatnell & Kemenah Start 1-2 in Tonight's Factory Value Parts World Challenge
Thursday, August 10, 2006
Australian Brooke Tatnell and American Chad Kemenah will start on the front row for tonight’s 16-lap Factory Value Parts World Challenge at the Knoxville Raceway. Due to the utilization of a slightly different qualifying format this year, which rewarded drivers that competed in one of five qualifiers in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, high-points inversion-eligible qualifier Donny Schatz will start the $10,000-to-win invitational in eighth position.
The line-up for the 13th Factory Value Parts World Challenge tonight is as follows:
Brooke Tatnell, Australia,
Chad Kemenah, USA,
Brian Brown, USA,
Paul McMahan, USA,
Daryn Pittman, USA,
Jason Johnson, USA,
Craig Dollansky, USA,
Donny Schatz, USA,
Skip Jackson, Australia,
Kerry Madsen, Australia,
Trevor Green, Australia,
Lynton Jeffrey, Australia,
Toni Lutar, Canada,
Chris Schmelzle, Canada,
Jamie McDonald, New Zealand,
Troy Little, Australia.
It should be noted that Chris Schmelzle of Canada and Jamie McDonald of New Zealand were inversion-eligible, but were outside of the top 106 in qualifying points which relegated them towards the tail of the field. The five international qualifiers this year were held at the Ohsweken Speedway in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada; Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; Premier Speedway at Sungold Stadium in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia; Powerbuilt Speedway in Ruapuna, South Island, New Zealand; and Todd & Pollock Speedway at Baypark Stadium in Mount Maunganui, North Island, New Zealand.
