ROSSBURG, Ohio — A couple of years ago, Jacob Allen told his father he didn’t think he was cut out for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series tour. “I really do believe I feel like I can win any race that I show up to,” Allen said. Allen’s previous season bests included one win, nine top-five finishes, 20 top-10s and 79 laps led. “To me, it’s like a humbling feeling more than anything,” Allen said about the stat. “It meant a lot, especially with Logan (Schuchart) winning it the year before,” Allen said. Allen has struggled at both tracks recently, finishing no better than 19th at Eldora this year and 23rd at Sharon last year. In the 33 different tracks the World of Outlaws has raced at this season, Allen has had a new career-best finish at 23 of those tracks.
