A.J. “SKIP” JACKSON, TONI LUTAR & JASON JOHNSON ENTER MYRACELIFE.COM WORLD CHALLENGE KNOXVILLE, IOWA (June 26, 2008) - While “Jackson, Johnson & Lutar” may sound like the name of a well-established law firm, it is actually the names of the three most recent entrants in the $10,000-to-win MyRaceLife.com World Challenge to be held on Friday, August 8, during the SuperClean Knoxville Nationals presented by Lucas Oil at the famed Knoxville Raceway in Iowa. A.J. “Skip” Jackson of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; Toni Lutar of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada; and American Jason Johnson of Eunice, Louisiana, are ready and raring to go in the fifteenth annual 16-lap international invitational, which serves as the finale for the Friday night MyRaceLife.com-sponsored Knoxville Nationals program. Jackson and Johnson are both inversion-eligible as they qualified early this year in the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at the Sungold Stadium at the Premier Speedway in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia, as did previous entrant American Mark Dobmeier of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Lutar is not inversion-eligible as he did not compete in any of the five qualifiers, although he is invited to compete due to his status as an international sprint car driver competing in the 48th annual Knoxville Nationals. A.J. “Skip” Jackson will pilot the J&S Auto Sports-owned, Shaver-powered J&J chassis sprinter, which is sponsored by Slideways Karting Center, Housby Trucks, Turfwerks, Acheson Auto Sales, Graffiti Graphics, Sundance Realty and National RP Support. Toni Lutar will wheel his Don Ott-powered JEI winged sprint car, which is sponsored by Northwest Auto Parts, Weld Racing, and Red Devil Brakes. Jason Johnson, who now calls Thomasville, Pennsylvania, home, will be piloting the Kasey Kahne/Mike Curb-owned Mopar-powered JEI chassis sprint car, which is sponsored by Remington, Mopar and Team ASE Dodge.
