The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series returns to Williams Grove Speedway on July 19 and 20. The Morgan Cup, a traveling trophy that resides with either the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series or Williams Grove Speedway, will now be up for grabs on Saturday, July 20. In the event the A-main winner on July 20 is not a full-time Outlaw or member of the PA Posse, the winner will decide in victory lane which side will be awarded the trophy.

Friday night's thriller won by Donny Schatz will mark the end of the spring event at Williams Grove, and the Friday purse will be adjusted upwards, which increases each position including first place from $8,000 to $10,000.

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series is back in action Sunday at Orange Country Fair Speedway in Middletown, N.Y., where the drivers meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. followed by hot laps and racing. On Tuesday the series invades New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway for the NAPA Auto Parts Outlaw Classic.

Schatz, who started 12th, picked off series points leader Daryn Pittman and two of Pennsylvania's fiercest competitors, Fred Rahmer and Hodnett, over the final three laps to win at the historic central Pennsylvania venue for the 17th time in his career.

The lead was never safe in the 25-lap feature event. Paul McMahan started on the pole and led the first 10 laps before Hodnett worked his way to the front to complete Lap 11 just as caution came out. Hodnett tried to pull away on the restart but McMahan, Rahmer and Pittman stayed in close pursuit. It looked as if the vaunted PA Posse with Hodnett and Rahmer was going to deal the Outlaws their second consecutive defeat in as many nights before Schatz ran them both down on the last lap, surprising Rahmer by going to the outside in turns 1 and 2, then setting up Hodnett in turn 3, passing under him in turn 4 and charging down the long front stretch to absolutely stun the huge crowd.

"Man to lead the last lap is important and I got Greg at just the right time, he went to the bottom to protect it and I wasn't about to lose that way," said Schatz, driver of the Tony Stewart Racing STP/Armor All J&J. "I gave it everything I had tonight, it worked. A lot of nights it doesn't."

It definitely was working for Schatz, who has now finished first or second in each of the past three World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series events as he chases his sixth series championship.

"When my tires were cold I thought I could keep momentum around the top, then those guys showed me the bottom," said Hodnett, driver of the Trone Outdoor Maxim. "I knew I needed to slow down and put the right rear back under the wing and hopefully it rotated and got a decent shot off. Donny was just able to run way harder than we were so, you know, just chalk it up to experience."

Rahmer, the legendary leader of the PA Posse who is experiencing a bit of a resurgence on the Pennsylvania dirt tracks this season, looked at times as if he was going to be the man to beat, but Pittman, Hodnett and eventually Schatz were able to do just enough to hold him back.

"Our car wasn't as good as it needed to be, you can't drop the ball at all with these guys," said Rahmer, driver of the Truline Contractors XXX machine. "We came home third and hopefully we can come back and just make the show [on Saturday] to start and just get a little better, I've got to drive a little better, the guys did a good job on the car, just a little off and you can't do that on a show like this."

Pittman, the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series championship leader, etched his 15th top-five finish this season with his fourth-place run after setting quick time.

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series returns Saturday night to Williams Grove Speedway where the feature event will determine where the Morgan Cup trophy will reside the remainder of 2013. The traveling trophy goes to the organization represented by the highest finishing Outlaw or PA Posse racer in Saturday's A-main. The past two seasons, a dash determined the Morgan Cup winner, with Jason Sides and Steve Kinser earning victories that let the trophy find a home in the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series office in North Carolina.

World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series Top 20 Championship Standings

Last year it was hard to find an Outlaw in the top 10 at Lincoln, this time around Donny Schatz pressured Dietrich for the entire 35 laps before settling for second by about a car length at the checkered flag. Sammy Swindell, Tim Kaeding and Brad Sweet rounded out the top five on the first of four consecutive nights of action for the Outlaws.

Dietrich remained faithful to the bottom of the race track, making Schatz have to use the high side to get around him. Schatz kept pace using the high side early on, but as the bottom proved to be the preferred line he moved down and tried to force Dietrich into a making mistake.

"Just was determined to get the jump on every restart, I screwed up a couple of times, but was able to recover from it," said Dietrich, of Aspers, Pa. "I saw his nose probably half a dozen times, I was just trying to hit my marks, I figured if I could just hit my marks everything would probably be OK. It just feels real good to beat the best of the best guys in the world."

Dietrich wound up leading all 35 laps in his Sandoes Fruit Market Maxim, and the capacity crowd went crazy as the PA Posse member pulled into victory lane.

"I tried everything, tried pulling the wing back, putting it forward," said Schatz, driver of the Tony Stewart Racing STP/Armor All J&J from Fargo, N.D. "The guys did a tremendous job, you come out here there is some pretty stiff competition, we're not happy with second, but it is definitely a step in the right direction."

Also for the second consecutive year at Lincoln, Sammy Swindell qualified at the top of the charts in the Big Game Treestands Eagle and was able to earn a position in the dash. An unlucky dash draw of eight, though, shifted Swindell from the front to row to the fourth row, where he eventually worked his way back to a podium finish by the end of the night.

"The last couple of weeks have been really bad for us, and so it's good to come here and get a third," said Sammy Swindell, of Germantown, Tenn. "We were a little scared to go too far. Everything we did the first part of the year seemed to be wrong. To come here and get a third is just great."

Sixth-place finishing Brent Marks was the next PA Posse driver in the finishing order, one spot ahead of World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series championship point leader Daryn Pittman.

The night did not go so well for one of the PA Posse's biggest stars, Greg Hodnett, from Thomasville, Pa. He went out late in time trials and qualified an impressive eighth, when few drivers were moving up in the qualifying order. But Hodnett's night would end there, as a mechanical failure would keep the car off of the track for the rest of the event.

Kerry Madsen managed to save what could have been a rough night. The Aussie qualified a dismal 40th but he was able to work his way up to the third position in his heat race, and was racing for a spot in the dash. He would not be able to take the dash spot away from Hafertepe Jr., but he would go to the feature. Madsen started 24th in the feature due to his qualifying position, but picked up eight spots to finish 16th.

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series heads to Williams Grove Speedway on Friday and Saturday, with Saturday night's feature now the determining event for where the Morgan Cup trophy will reside the remainder of 2013. The traveling trophy goes to the organization represented by the highest finishing Outlaw or PA Posse racer in Saturday's A-main. The past two seasons, a dash determined the Morgan Cup winner, with Jason Sides and Steve Kinser earning victories that let the trophy find a home in the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series office in North Carolina.

3/8-MILE WINNERS

There have been four races on a 3/8-mile track this season. The winners are: Shane Golobic - 1 (Antioch Speedway on April 5); Kyle Larson - 1 (Stockton 99 Dirt Track on March 22); Daryn Pittman - 1 (Tucson International Raceway on March 9) and Donny Schatz - 1 (Kings Speedway on April 12).

QUARTER-MILE WINNERS

There has been one race on a quarter-mile track this season. The winner was: Paul McMahan - 1 (Silver Dollar Speedway on March 23).

Both literally and figuratively, championship points leader Daryn Pittman and reigning King of California Tim Kaeding capped the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series five-week West Coast swing in a head-to-head battle on Saturday in the SoCal Showdown at Perris Auto Speedway.

Pittman and Kaeding, along with Donny Schatz, are the only drivers to record multiple feature victories this season and of course, they were in a heated match to decide the winner on the famed half mile.

Kaeding took the lead on the start of the 30-lap feature, which went without a caution, and he entered traffic on Lap 8. One lap later, Pittman passed Schatz for the runner-up position on the bottom groove in turn three.

On the fast track, Pittman reeled in Kaeding before once again powering to the lead in turns three and four of Lap 18.

"Really the pass was the same with the way I got Donny," Pittman said. "I dove it in pretty deep into (turn) three. Them guys were kind of opening up their entry.

"Basically the same thing with Kaeding and I felt a little contact coming off of (turn) four. They were kinda opening up their entry and trying to come back across. I just shortened up the corner and we kind of met in the middle. It might not have been the prettiest thing, but I don't think it was anything anybody else wouldn't do for a win."

Kaeding saw things a bit differently.

"He slid underneath us and kinda got us in the left front (tire) a little bit," he said. "I'm just happy we didn't crash and ended up second. A podium is better than finishing last.

"We're not in the points deal, but we're definitely going to be the Outlaw killer this year."

While Kaeding stayed within five car lengths for the final 12 laps of the main event, Pittman hit his marks to record his first victory at Perris Auto Speedway since 2002. It also gave Pittman his third feature win this season - tops in the series.

A night after winning his second event of the season, Schatz rounded out the podium with a third-place finish.

"The track was fast and we just kind of missed it there in the feature," he said. "We were ok there at the end, but you just couldn't hardly get anybody. We just couldn't even get through lapped traffic. It was a little bit tricky."

Jason Meyers placed fourth and fast qualifier Chad Kemenah ended fifth.

Joey Saldana was sixth, David Gravel seventh, Sammy Swindell eighth, Craig Dollansky ninth and Cody Darrah rounded out the top 10.

Keep in mind, Kemenah had just finished second to Schatz in the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series return to Kings Speedway on Friday night.

"That's just what happens when you get a race track to race on wide enough," Kemenah said. "These fans come out and just get a hell of a show. That was a lot of passing.

"I just want to thank all the fans for coming out here and Donny for such a good race. They got their money's worth and we're excited."

Schatz was a bit more subdued in celebrating his first career victory at the 3/8-mile track, which has featured a different winner in each of the last seven World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series main events.

"It was fun to have a good enough car to go around the race track in perfect condition to be able to go on the top and the bottom all the way around the whole track," Schatz said. "It was fun, but it was definitely not an easy win."

Despite nine cautions that kept the leader out of traffic, the race showcased seven official lead changes and possibly twice as many actual ones. Schatz and polesitter Tim Kaeding swapped the lead five times in the first 10 laps before a flat right rear tire derailed Kaeding around the midpoint of the 35-lap feature.

But as Kaeding faded before eventually spinning off the track in turn two on Lap 20, Kemenah picked up the heat on Schatz and rocketed to the top spot exiting turn two on Lap 17. He held onto the lead until Schatz powered around him in turn two on Lap 22.

"You knew the track was going to change drastically and it was pretty slick when we started," Schatz said. "We were able to maneuver on both ends."

Kemenah stayed within striking distance as they hit traffic on Lap 28, but the ninth - and final - caution flag was waved one lap later as D.J. Netto collided with fourth-place running David Gravel in turn two. The crash popped Gravel's left rear tire and forced him to pit. He returned to the race, but finished 12^th.

Schatz got a clean restart and maintained the lead in the closing laps with Kemenah and third-running Sammy Swindell in tow.

"It was a fun race to watch," Swindell said. "We weren't any better than they were. It might have been different if I could have ever got to the front, but I don't think we were strong enough to quite get there. It was fun to watch and be able to participate in it."

Championship points leader Daryn Pittman, who dropped from 13^th to last place after spinning on the opening lap, placed fourth to collect his series-leading ninth top five. Kraig Kinser drove from 12^th to finish fifth.

Joey Saldana ended sixth, Craig Dollansky seventh, Paul McMahan eighth and Kyle Hirst charged from 20^th to ninth to earn the KSE Hard Charger Award. Steve Kinser rounded out the top 10.

After driving from the back up to eighth following his caution, Kaeding slid off the track on the final lap and was credited with a 13^th-place finish.

Kings Speedway Notebook

NOTES - This was the first race this season with fewer than 30 cars. … Chad Kemenah established quick time in qualifying for the first race this season. … Sammy Swindell claimed his third heat race win, Joey Saldana his second and Tim Kaeding his series-leading sixth of the season. … The dash draw was a six. … Kaeding became the 12^th different dash winner of the season. … Brian Brown became the 12^th different Last Chance Showdown winner of the year.

Paducah International Raceway has never seen a World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series repeat winner in the seven features since the opener in 1998. That streak will be on the line as Joey Saldana - last season's winner - and the Outlaws head to the high-banked track on Friday, April 19.

"Paducah's a really fun race track," Chad Kemenah said. "It's pretty wide, it gets really racy there usually and it puts a really good show for the fans. It's usually really, really exciting."

It is also the only World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series event in Kentucky this season.

"Turn one and two is pretty tricky," championship points leader Daryn Pittman said. "I've kinda always struggled there. It's got a lot of bank to it. It's fast. It's got long straightaways and kind of tight corners. I'm definitely looking forward to going back and trying to improve on what I've done in the past."

Jeff Swindell claimed the inaugural event with Andy Hillenburg, Danny Lasoski, Craig Dollansky, Jason Meyers and Jac Haudenschild each picking up a win before Saldana's triumph last year.

3/8-MILE WINNERS

There have been three races on a 3/8-mile track this season. The winners are: Shane Golobic - 1 (Antioch Speedway on April 5); Kyle Larson - 1 (Stockton 99 Dirt Track on March 22) and Daryn Pittman - 1 (Tucson International Raceway on March 9).

HALF-MILE WINNERS

There have been five races on a half-mile track this season. The winners are: Tim Kaeding - 1 (The Dirt Track at Las Vegas on March 7); Danny Lasoski - 1 (Volusia Speedway Park on Feb. 17); Terry McCarl - 1 (Volusia Speedway Park on Feb. 16); Daryn Pittman - 1 (Volusia Speedway Park on Feb. 15) and Donny Schatz - 1 (The Dirt Track at Las Vegas on March 6).

On Friday at Antioch Speedway, Shane Golobic's dreams were nothing like reality.

Golobic passed polesitter Jonathan Allard in thick traffic on lap 10 and held off Joey Saldana - Golobic's favorite World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series driver - to capture his first career victory, which left him talking almost as fast as he drove after an emotional celebration on the frontstretch.

"It doesn't compare," Golobic said as a smile engulfed his face. "I always knew it'd be pretty awesome to win one. I didn't know if I was ever going to get the chance. There's some guys who win a lot of races and don't ever get to win an Outlaws race, so to be able to do it is awesome.

"I couldn't be happier right now. We beat the best. The Outlaws are the best and we beat them. It's just surreal to even think that we did it."

Allard took the early advantage at the start of the 30-lap feature with Golobic in tow. Golobic twice pulled side by side with Allard in turns one and two only to see Allard's momentum help him maintain the lead.

The duo reached traffic on Lap 7 and Golobic nearly made it three wide exiting turn two as he and Allard lapped Chad Kemenah, who had to start at the back of the field after going to the work area to change an MSD box before the green flag.

However, Golobic thought better and backed off. Three laps later, Golobic powered around Allard in turns three and four to gain the lead amidst a handful of cars in traffic.

"In traffic it's almost better to be running second," Golobic said. "He just kinda got hung up behind a lapped car and I kinda saw that and went to the top and got him. We got out front and started working traffic."

Allard dropped to fifth in two laps with Saldana picking up the pressure on Golobic. With about 10 laps remaining, Golobic struggled to lap Dominic Scelzi, who started the feature as the alternate when Kerry Madsen was unable to take the green flag because of a broken roll pin in the magneto.

"I knew Saldana was coming pretty hard toward the end," Golobic said. "He's been my favorite Outlaw for a lot of years, so for him to run second to me, it's crazy."

Saldana closed to within two car lengths, but Golobic was effective enough at picking his way through traffic and after clearing Scelzi with a handful of laps remaining, Golobic pulled away.

"I thought we had a shot there, but lapped traffic was tough," Saldana said. "I screwed up on one of them lapped cars and it cost me a shot at winning.

"(Golobic's) been running extremely strong. This is the style of racing that he likes and he did a great job tonight. He stayed focused with his car the whole night and ran a great race."

Cody Darrah passed Californian Tim Kaeding, who won the last World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series event at Antioch Speedway, for third place with three laps remaining.

"We were a little free when we were out in the open, but in lapped traffic I felt like we really had an advantage," Darrah said. "I love this race track. It's aggressive, especially tonight. It's one of those race tracks where you do the opposite that you do at every other place."

Kaeding finished fourth and NASCAR sensation Kyle Larson ended fifth.

Sammy Swindell was sixth, Allard seventh, Donny Schatz eighth, Kyle Hirst ninth and championship points leader Daryn Pittman rounded out the top 10.

Scelzi earned the KSE Hard Charger Award after maneuvering from 24^th to 18^th.

3/8-MILE WINNERS

There have been two races on a 3/8-mile track this season. The winners are: Kyle Larson - 1 (Stockton 99 Dirt Track on March 22) and Daryn Pittman - 1 (Tucson International Raceway on March 9).

HALF-MILE WINNERS

There have been five races on a half-mile track this season. The winners are: Tim Kaeding - 1 (The Dirt Track at Las Vegas on March 7); Danny Lasoski - 1 (Volusia Speedway Park on Feb. 17); Terry McCarl - 1 (Volusia Speedway Park on Feb. 16); Daryn Pittman - 1 (Volusia Speedway Park on Feb. 15) and Donny Schatz - 1 (The Dirt Track at Las Vegas on March 6).

On a perfect California Friday evening, Sammy Swindell completed the puzzle to capture his first World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series victory of the season and his third consecutive to remain undefeated at Merced Speedway.

"This track has been good to me," he said. "We've been here three times and have gotten the same result. I'm looking forward to coming back here again."

While Swindell wasn't ready to give up on the season after the first 10 races - when he recorded only one top-five finish and four top 10s - Merced was a sight for sore eyes. Swindell had a marvelous record at the third mile in the only two previous World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series events. He qualified in the top four both times, finished in the top four in his heat race both times and placed in the top four of the dash both times.

Oh, and he led an impressive 79 of the 80 feature laps.

That trend continued on Friday when Swindell, who went out last to qualify, timed in sixth quickest on a track that had slowed dramatically. He then placed third in his heat race and second in the dash to earn a spot on the front row of the 40-lap feature.

Yet it was NASCAR sensation Kyle Larson who jumped to the early lead. Larson led the first 13 laps before the right rear tire on his car popped going into turn one, giving the lead to Swindell.

"I think our car was good there to run with Kyle maybe in the last half of the race," Swindell said. "His car was pretty good to start; mine was a bit tight, but the track was going to go away and the fuel was going to come out. I felt like we had something."

With the bottom groove favored and only one caution the rest of the race, Swindell maneuvered through traffic perfectly. Championship points leader Daryn Pittman was able to close within three car lengths in traffic once, but Swindell was in control.

"Things went his way tonight," Pittman said. "Some nights things go your way and put you in the right position to win the race. He's awfully talented and when you give him a chance to win and put him on the front row, he's awfully hard to beat.

"Tonight track position was really important. I think Larson was going to be pretty hard to beat if he didn't have a flat."

Californian Tim Kaeding, who along with Pittman are the only multiple feature winners this season, passed Chad Kemenah for third place exiting turn two with two laps remaining. It was his sixth top five in eight events this season.

"It's been an awesome year," Kaeding said. "Tonight really wasn't where we needed to be, but we put ourselves in contention for a top five."

Kemenah placed fourth and Paul McMahan ended fifth.

Shane Golobic was sixth, fast qualifier and new track record holder Joey Saldana seventh, Brian Brown eighth and Donny Schatz recorded the KSE Hard Charger Award after piloting from 16^th to ninth. Jason Sides rounded out the top 10.

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series is brought to fans across the country by many important sponsors and partners, including: American Racing Custom Wheels (Official Custom Wheel), Armor All (Official Car Care Products), STP (Official Fuel Treatment), Hoosier Racing Tire (Official Tire), KMC (Official Custom Truck Wheel), University of Northwestern Ohio, VP Racing Fuels (Official Racing Fuel), Vicci (Official Apparel); in addition to contingency sponsors, including: Bruce High Performance Transporters, Cometic Gasket, Comp Cams, Edelbrock, JE Pistons, Klotz Synthetic Lubricants, KSE Racing Products, MSD Ignitions, Penske Shocks and Superflow Dynos; along with manufacturer sponsors, including: ButlerBuilt, Fuel Safe, Intercomp, J&J Auto Racing, Jake's Carts, Racing Electronics, S&S Volvo, TNT Rescue and Winters Performance.

It began during the bright afternoon when he announced his CJB Motorsports team will compete full time this season with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series. It was then capped under the lights with a splattering of confetti on the frontstretch at Silver Dollar Speedway, where McMahan earned his 15 ^th career World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series victory at the famed Mini Gold Cup.

"Kenny Speck passed away last Friday night at Tulare and we laid him to rest today, and this is the first time I've been back to Stephen's (Allard) hometown here in Chico," he said after an emotional Victory Lane. "To win here, I know he's smiling down, looking on me - both of them are. I said earlier in the night that if I could win here this would be for them guys and I was fortunate enough to get it done."

While McMahan was all smiles after leading the final 33 of the 40-lap feature, several other drivers left the track in a less-than-desirable mood following a hectic finish, including runner up Chad Kemenah.

After taking last weekend off to heal from a concussion, Kemenah took another wild ride as he collided with NASCAR star Tony Stewart racing for second place to the checkered flag. Kemenah won the position, but ended with a wrecked car in the process.

For Stewart, who started on the pole and led the first seven laps in his first career race at Silver Dollar Speedway, the trouble started in turn four on the final lap.

After David Gravel drove around him in turn three for second place, Gravel spun sideways in turn four. Stewart had nowhere to go and the two drivers crashed in the bottom of the corner. Both were able to keep going, but the melee started the havoc.

Stewart plowed forward to the middle of the track while Gravel's car was momentarily straightened before he eventually spun across the finish line in sixth place.

"He's going for a second-place finish so we can't fault him for that," Stewart said. "He just spun in front of us and we clipped him on the way by. Then you're racing to the checkered there and Chad got a really good run on the inside of us. Just banged into him, drove over the left front (tire) and it tore his car all to pieces for a second-place run."

World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series officials had to review a video replay to determine the exact finishing order for everyone behind McMahan, who is second in the championship points standings and can now chase more than wins.

"When I headed to the race track I still didn't know what we were doing," he said. "Right before the drivers meeting (crew chief) Barry Jackson told me that we've got a contract to sign. So I got pretty excited."

Shane Golobic finished fourth and Roger Crockett placed fifth.

After Gravel, Kyle Hirst ended seventh, 14^th-starter Kraig Kinser eighth, championship points leader Daryn Pittman ninth and 17^th -starter Tim Kaeding rounded out the top 10.

Steve Kinser earned the KSE Hard Charger Award after maneuvering from 23^rd to 13^th.

World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series Top 20 Championship Standings

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series is brought to fans across the country by many important sponsors and partners, including: American Racing Custom Wheels (Official Custom Wheel), Armor All (Official Car Care Products), STP (Official Fuel Treatment), Hoosier Racing Tire (Official Tire), KMC (Official Custom Truck Wheel), University of Northwestern Ohio, VP Racing Fuels (Official Racing Fuel), Vicci (Official Apparel); in addition to contingency sponsors, including: Bruce High Performance Transporters, Cometic Gasket, Comp Cams, Edelbrock, JE Pistons, Klotz Synthetic Lubricants, KSE Racing Products, MSD Ignitions, Penske Shocks and Superflow Dynos; along with manufacturer sponsors, including: ButlerBuilt, Fuel Safe, Intercomp, J&J Auto Racing, Jake's Carts, Racing Electronics, S&S Volvo, TNT Rescue and Winters Performance.

After hitching a ride in NASCAR star Tony Stewart's plane, Kyle Larson, the newest NASCAR sensation, picked up his first World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series victory of the season on Friday in front of a sold-out crowd during the inaugural event at Stockton 99 Dirt Track.

"I've got to start off by thanking Tony for letting my fly on his jet here to the races," he said. "Without him, I wouldn't be here."

The win was Larson's third in as many seasons as he heads back to Fontana, Calif., for Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series event in Southern California.

With estimates of more than 10,000 spectators at Friday's World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series event, a pair of California stars duked it out after outlasting the attrition. There were nearly a dozen flips on the new 3/8-mile track that was built inside the old horse racing track at the San Joaquin Fairgrounds.

Paul McMahan, who became the ninth different dash winner in as many features this season, led the first two laps of the 30-lap feature before Larson found the lead by winning the drag race into turn one.

Kaeding drove around Larson exiting turn two on a restart on Lap 10 - the third straight attempt after Willie Croft and Jonathan Allard both flipped during previous tries - to capture the lead. The duo entered traffic on Lap 16 before a caution two laps later for a spin by Jason Statler.

Because of track conditions, all restarts were single file during the main event and Kaeding took advantage with the clear track. As he closed in on traffic, however, Larson closed in on the lead. They entered traffic on Lap 25 and on the ensuing lap, Larson was stuck on the bottom behind Statler.

That allowed Kaeding to put several car lengths of distance, which was quickly erased. Two laps later, Kaeding nearly made contact while trying to lap Sam Hafertepe Jr. entering the bottom of turn three. As Kaeding was forced to dramatically slow his car, Larson sailed around the top groove. His momentum allowed him to slip by Kaeding for the lead as they crossed the start-finish line.

Seconds later, Austen Wheatley spun exiting turn four to set up a green-white-checkered finish. While Kaeding tried to throw a pair of slide jobs on Larson for the lead in the final two laps, neither was successful.

"I think the biggest thing was lapped traffic," Kaeding said. "That kind of cost us the race I think. You've got guys that want to just keep racing and not go a lap down, (but) I'll take a second any night."

Larson claimed the previous two Gold Cup Race of Champions - held near the end of summer each year at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., where the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series wraps up this weekend on Saturday with the Mini Gold Cup.

"It's cool to get to race with Tim because he's by far the best out here in California and he can contend for Outlaws wins no matter where he goes in the country," he said. "It's a lot of fun to get to race with Tim and it's fun to beat him for a win because he's beat me so many times for wins. It's good to steal some back from him."

Donny Schatz charged from 13^th to third, earning his third top-five finish of the season.

"We had a good car," he said. "The thing would go around the top and the bottom in (turns) three and four and the top in (turns) one and two. I just had to go where other guys weren't. It was pretty treacherous up there; the cushion would hook you and grab you. We made a lot of spots up, but would have liked to been there racing for the win."

Championship points leader Daryn Pittman was fourth and McMahan ended fifth.

World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series Top 20 Championship Standings

Ok, it's not like Craig Dollansky was a team on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. But his World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series feature victory on Saturday at Thunderbowl Raceway was much needed in the tireless effort toward momentum.

Coming off arguably his most successful racing season, Dollansky struggled in the first seven races of this season. He entered Saturday ninth in the championship points standings, hadn't led a feature lap and had only three top 10s and no top fives this season.

"It's definitely not the start to the year we'd like to have," he said. "It's still fairly early in the year. It sure wasn't like we were completely hanging our heads by any means. We know what we're capable of."

That all changed with 35 continuous laps led by Dollansky, who jumped to the lead from outside the front row on the start. With tricky track conditions favoring the bottom groove, Dollansky maintained the lead as polesitter Jonathan Allard tried a variety of racing lines in an effort to get the top position.

"I just wasn't aggressive enough on the start and then I was too aggressive when we got to racing and hurt my tire pretty bad," Allard said. "Once we got in there I felt better. I was sliding the car around a bit, which I got nervous about. We gained some speed on them and then the yellow came out."

Seven cautions played into Dollansky's hand as he never had to pass a car in traffic. While Allard tried high and low to get a shot at the lead, Dollansky hit his marks lap after lap in the clear track.

"Once we got the lead I was just trying to manage tires and manage fuel," he said. "It was something I had to be aware of."

Dollansky executed to earn his first career win with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series at Thunderbowl Raceway and it marked the 10^th consecutive season that Dollansky has recorded at least one feature victory. He also moved up to fourth in the points standings.

Allard held off championship points leader Daryn Pittman for the runner-up position.

"I just ran a really slow pace," Pittman said. "It was really hard to run that slow. It didn't matter how hard we ran, if we didn't make it to the 35 ^th lap it was all going to be a waste. I really figured the top two, as hard as they were running, might have tire issues. That's the gamble we took and either way we came home third."

Lucas Wolfe secured his first top five of the season with a four-place result and Paul McMahan ended fifth.

Last Chance Showdown winner Tim Kaeding, who claimed Friday's feature at Thunderbowl Raceway, earned the KSE Hard Charger Award after driving from 16 ^th to sixth. Sammy Swindell placed seventh, Joey Saldana eighth, Kraig Kinser ninth and Jason Meyers rounded out the top 10.

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series returns to action on Friday in the grand opening of Stockton 99 Dirt Track in Stockton, Calif.

Visibly exhausted and likely sore, Kaeding mustered a smile and laugh when describing his postrace celebration plans after ending his Victory Lane celebration surrounded by a packed grandstand of his biggest supporters on Friday night at Thunderbowl Raceway.

"Sit in an ice cold bath," he said.

It was an elbows-up type of night during the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series opener at the high-banked, third-mile oval, which featured more cars on two wheels than a typical motorcycle race.

That fit right into Kaeding's style and background, even if the track known to be rough was the roughest ever.

"I'm saying this was probably the roughest I've ever seen Tulare in (turns) one and two," he said. "(Rough) is what I grew up on. This is kind of my home away from home. Anything that's rough is usually what I like. It's get in, stand on the gas, hold on and see what happens at the end."

While many people likely picked Kaeding to record the victory - his third overall and second straight at Thunderbowl Raceway with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series - nobody could have predicted the finish.

Donny Schatz outraced polesitter Jac Haudenschild through the opening turns of the first lap to control the top spot, which he maintained for the first 14 laps.

Kaeding, meanwhile, cracked the top five on the second lap. He gained a position in each of the next two laps until sliding Haudenschild for the runner-up position on a restart of Lap 8. Schatz held a several car length advantage until the third caution - and second red flag - of the feature for Cory Eliason's fiery flip in turn two on Lap 15.

The race was red flagged for approximately 15 minutes as repairs had to be made to the fence. When the race restarted, Schatz found himself in the nasty ruts in turns one and two, which forced his car into the fence and broke the front axel. He was unable to restart and finished 23^rd.

That gave the lead to Kaeding, who faced a new challenge from Cody Darrah as the final 21 laps of the race were caution free.

Darrah dove to the bottom in turns one and two to pass Haudenschild for second place on the restart. As Kaeding powered around the track in the high lane, Darrah made the bottom groove work. They entered traffic on Lap 20 and one lap later, Darrah pulled side by side with Kaeding as they exited turn two.

Momentum continued to keep Kaeding in the lead, but Darrah stayed with a couple of car lengths until he used a slide job on Kaeding for the lead entering turn one. Darrah dove to the bottom in turn one and slid up the track in front of Kaeding exiting turn two.

"I knew he was close; I didn't know how close he was," Kaeding said. "He did the same thing I did at the beginning of the race to get spots - just to slide. He did the slide for life and it stuck."

However, Darrah never got his tires back underneath him after taking the lead. As they entered turn three side by side - Darrah on the bottom and Kaeding committed to the top - Darrah closed to the back of Wayne Johnson in traffic. Darrah's car slowly began to slide around and eventually did a full spin on the bottom in turns three and four before he continued as the white flag waved.

"I never got my tires back under me and I just spun it out," he said. "It was pretty stupid. I'm pretty pissed off because we (had) such a good car. These guys work so hard and they deserve a win. I gave it to them for about a quarter lap and then I took it away."

Darrah lost valuable position, but was able to hold off Haudenschild for the runner-up spot with Kaeding winning by nearly five seconds.

"It was a good race all the way around," Haudenschild said. "Tim, he's the man here. It was good just to be up there running with him."

David Gravel finished fourth to record his second top five while driving for the injured Bill Rose. Championship points leader and fast qualifier Daryn Pittman ended fifth for his series-leading fifth time in seven races.

That's exactly what Stockton 99 Dirt Track is doing on Friday, March 22, when the premier sprint car series in the country will welcome another track to the California fraternity.

"As long as we can get more race tracks in California I think that's great," Jason Sides said. "It'll be good to go there and see what it's all about. I hear it's a big track so another big track in California like Calistoga, that'd be great."

Stockton 99 Speedway, which is located on the San Joaquin Fairgrounds, recently added the big 3/8-mile dirt track to the impressive facility. Stockton 99 Dirt Track was built in the infield of the old horse racing track at the fairgrounds and it joins a quarter-mile paved track, a karting track and a drifting track on the property.

"It's going to be new for everybody," Joey Saldana said. "I think it's great to have a new venue. I just hope the fans support it and it makes a stop we have every year with the World of Outlaws at Stockton."

Reserved seating is already sold out, but general admission and box seats can be ordered online by clicking WorldofOutlaws.com/tickets or by calling 877-395-8606.

World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series Points Standings through March 9

Heck, he gives himself an A+ so far this season with the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series and rightfully so.

Pittman, who won the season opener after accepting an offer to drive for NASCAR star Kasey Kahne during the offseason, became the first repeat winner of the season on Saturday in front of a near capacity crowd at Tucson International Raceway during the Wildcat Shootout Presented by NAPA Auto Parts.

"It's been an A+ for sure," he said. "I think all of us are really disappointed in our first night at (Las) Vegas. That was our first humbling experience as a team, but nobody was down. We got messages all night from each other, just stay positive and come back the next day. And we rebounded with a solid night at Vegas the second night.

"This is a tough sport and a grueling year that we know can turn around in a hurry. So we've just got to stay focused, go into the next race and try to win."

It was the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series first race at the 3/8-mile oval since 2007 and the first event in Arizona since 2009. Speaking of history, Pittman's two wins this season are more than he recorded in the past four years combined. It also helped him to maintain the championship points lead, which he's held since the season-opening victory.

"Points matter in October and November," Pittman said. "Right now we've just got to win races and go after that, and that's what we're going to try to do."

However, it could have easily been a sixth different feature winner in as many races this season. Polesitter Joey Saldana, who Pittman replaced at Kasey Kahne Racing, won his first dash of the season and led the first nine laps of the 30-lap feature before a lengthy red flag because Chad Kemenah flipped in turn three.

On the restart, World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series officials deemed that Saldana got on the gas too early and he was penalized one row. That moved Pittman to the lead, which he never relinquished.

"Outlaws races are very hard to win, so if you're going to lose one you want to lose it racing," Saldana said. "I don't know what's right or wrong. I'm the leader of the race. I don't know what I did any different."

Pittman powered to a sizeable advantage and by the time he entered traffic on Lap 18, he led by nearly a straightaway.

In thick traffic, Saldana passed Brian Brown for the runner-up position exiting turn four on lap 25. However, he was unable to make up any ground on Pittman, who empathized with Saldana's situation.

"Obviously we were the beneficiary of that and it was great, but I would have been ticked if it was me to have the same penalty on us," Pittman said. "Their job is to make the rules and enforce them. Ours is to push them as far to our advantage as we can to try to get an advantage. He got bit tonight. I'm sure he's unhappy about it.

"At the end of the day I think we had a great race car. I think we had something for him no matter what. It would have been nice to race for it to see who would have came out on top, but our car was awfully good."

Saldana's second-place finish was his second straight podium. Brown picked up his first podium finish of the season in third.

"With the crowd being good enough, hopefully we'll get to come back here soon," he said. "The track was in great condition. (It was) probably a little bit too narrow. It made it tough to pass, but when you're starting in the front you don't mind that every once in a while."

Paul McMahan, who established a new track record in qualifying, placed fourth and Tim Kaeding ended with his third consecutive top five.

Donny Schatz was sixth, Danny Lasoski seventh, 16^th-starter David Gravel eighth, Kraig Kinser ninth and Cody Darrah rounded out the top 10.

Kerry Madsen rallied from 21^st to 12^th to earn the KSE Hard Charger Award for the third time in six races this season.

Wildcat Shootout Presented by NAPA Auto Parts Notebook

World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series Top 20 Championship Standings

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series is brought to fans across the country by many important sponsors and partners, including: American Racing Custom Wheels (Official Custom Wheel), Armor All (Official Car Care Products), STP (Official Fuel Treatment), Hoosier Racing Tire (Official Tire), KMC (Official Custom Truck Wheel), University of Northwestern Ohio, VP Racing Fuels (Official Racing Fuel), Vicci (Official Apparel); in addition to contingency sponsors, including: Bruce High Performance Transporters, Cometic Gasket, Comp Cams, Edelbrock, JE Pistons, Klotz Synthetic Lubricants, KSE Racing Products, MSD Ignitions, Penske Shocks and Superflow Dynos; along with manufacturer sponsors, including: ButlerBuilt, Fuel Safe, Intercomp, J&J Auto Racing, Jake's Carts, Racing Electronics, S&S Volvo, TNT Rescue and Winters Performance.

The guy is just flat out good.

With the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip in the distance, Kaeding celebrated in style after he scored his second straight World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series feature victory at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas on Thursday night.

"I think a couple of years ago I lost all my luck at the casinos and it's paying me back out here at the race track," he said. "We had a great race car all night long and we did what we had to do, and that was run up front and steal the win from everybody."

Kaeding roared from his third starting position to the lead on the backstretch of the opening lap with polesitter and Wednesday's feature winner - Donny Schatz - in close pursuit. By Lap 12, Kaeding had established nearly half a straightaway lead as he entered traffic.

That advantage disappeared in two laps. Kaeding and Schatz raced side by side down the backstretch and into turns three and four on Lap 14. Kaeding stayed on the inside groove as Schatz powered around the top, which gave him enough momentum to take the lead exiting turn four.

As they continued to battle through traffic and with Joey Saldana pressuring Kaeding for the runner-up position, Kaeding had a near-perfect entry in turn one with 10 laps remaining. He slid up in front of Schatz to regain the top spot as they exited turn two.

"It was a hard track to pass on," Kaeding said. "We snuck by him there. He got stuck on the outside and we kinda got back to the bottom and had some clear track."

Four laps later, Brady Bacon stopped in turns three and four to bring out the second - and final - caution of the 30-lap feature. Kaeding chose the inside lane on the double-file restart as Schatz's left front tire went flat during caution.

That gave Kaeding a sizeable advantage on the restart as he rocketed to the lead. Schatz shot down to the bottom groove and struggled, which bogged down that lane.

"It hurt me, actually," said Saldana, who restarted behind Kaeding on the inside of the second row. "I kinda thought it might help me, him being on the outside. He was smart enough he knew he needed to get down. It just took my groove away and that got Jason a clear run around there."

That allowed Jason Sides, who restarted fourth, to drive around the outside of Schatz and Saldana for second place. However, he was unable to catch Kaeding, who had an open track without traffic until the checkered flag.

"The cautions kind of plagued us last night; we could have used a caution or two tonight," Sides said. "But there again, TK was on a good run. We'd like to maybe have another caution to give us a shot at racing with TK off the start.

"I'm happy to run another second place like last night … two top threes both nights and make a little money, maybe offset some of my expenses from Vegas here."

Saldana finished third to earn his first podium of the season.

"There was a point during the race I thought we had a shot at maybe getting them guys, but it's just a good, solid effort all night," he said.

David Gravel, who was racing for injured World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series driver Bill Rose, scored his best finish of the season in fourth place. Kyle Larson rallied from 15^th to round out the top five and earn the KSE Hard Charger Award.

Schatz placed sixth, Daryn Pittman seventh, Sam Hafertepe Jr. eighth, Wayne Johnson ninth and fast qualifier Lucas Wolfe was 10^th for the second straight night.

World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series Top 20 Championship Standings

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series is brought to fans across the country by many important sponsors and partners, including: American Racing Custom Wheels (Official Custom Wheel), Armor All (Official Car Care Products), STP (Official Fuel Treatment), Hoosier Racing Tire (Official Tire), KMC (Official Custom Truck Wheel), University of Northwestern Ohio, VP Racing Fuels (Official Racing Fuel), Vicci (Official Apparel); in addition to contingency sponsors, including: Bruce High Performance Transporters, Cometic Gasket, Comp Cams, Edelbrock, JE Pistons, Klotz Synthetic Lubricants, KSE Racing Products, MSD Ignitions, Penske Shocks and Superflow Dynos; along with manufacturer sponsors, including: ButlerBuilt, Fuel Safe, Intercomp, J&J Auto Racing, Jake's Carts, Racing Electronics, S&S Volvo, TNT Rescue and Winters Performance.

Fighting extreme gusts of wind all night, defending series champion Donny Schatz outlasted future NASCAR star Kyle Larson to garner the opening night at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas. The win was Schatz's series-leading seventh at the half mile and more significantly, it was his 125^th career World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series feature victory.

"I think it's more important to be win No. 1 on the season," he said after becoming only the fourth driver to ever reach the 125-win milestone. "It's always hardest to get the first win of the season out of the way."

Schatz started on the pole of the dash after the No. 8 pill - the highest possible - was randomly selected for the third consecutive race to invert the first four rows. However, he was passed by Jason Sides in the closing laps of the dash, giving Sides the pole position for the 30-lap feature.

That didn't last for long as Schatz rocketed around the high groove to take the lead exiting turn four on the opening lap. He maintained a several car length advantage as Brian Brown battled Sides for the runner-up position during the first eight laps before entering traffic.

As Schatz closed on the back of Logan Forler to put him one lap down, the first of seven cautions bunched the field back up. Schatz chose the inside line on the double-file restart - as every driver did on the restarts all night - and he continued to maintain the top spot as several cautions plagued the continuity of the event.

"When I got on the top I felt ok, but the wind just had mass havoc," Schatz said. "One corner it turned you too much and the other corner it got you tight, so I could just never get it the way I wanted to."

Sides, who was committed to the bottom as Schatz continually drove the top groove, pulled into the lead exiting turn two on Lap 14 only to see a caution for Paul McMahan relegate the running order to the previous lap. That gave the lead back to Schatz, who faced a new challenger several laps later.

Larson, who has picked up a World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series win in each of the past two seasons, used the bottom groove to slide under Schatz and Sides on a restart of Lap 18 for the top spot. Following a caution for a spin by Steve Kinser in turn one on the ensuing lap, Larson maintained the lead on the bottom line with Schatz within striking distance on the high groove.

But just as it looked like Larson had enough for the victory, his car stumbled in turn two on Lap 28. Schatz capitalized and regained the lead at the flag stand amidst traffic.

"I was making a ton of mistakes in the beginning of the race and halfway through I got settled down," Larson said. "I caught traffic and started running out of fuel. It was stumbling on the exits. I missed the bottom once and Donny got by me."

The duo raced side by side for the next lap with Schatz again narrowly edging Larson as they were shown the white flag with traffic racing wheel to wheel directly in front of them.

"Going down the last lap there was a hole there on the bottom and I went there because I knew those guys would be better there," Schatz said. "I just couldn't take the top anymore. I wore everything out."

Schatz had an advantage exiting turn two, but Larson stayed within a car length as both dove to the bottom in turn three - inches apart.

"I knew it was going to stumble off (turn) two and I was just going to try to beat him into (turn) three, but it stumbled a little too bad and I could only just get to his inside," Larson said. "If I could have just not stumbled as bad Donny would have not been able to block me and he would have had to take the long way around the corner and I might have been able to beat him to the line."

Schatz got a little more traction as the drivers slid through turn four and it propelled him to the historic victory. Sides, who was only a couple of car lengths behind the battle for the lead in the closing laps, powered to the top groove in turns three and four on the final lap. His momentum allowed him to drive by Larson for the runner-up spot in the final 100 feet.

"When they both went to the bottom behind a lapped car I just ran it in as hard as I could and just tried to run the top, the middle, anywhere that would stick," Sides said. "(The track) was kind of rough and had some holes in it, but it made for an exciting race I think. The top and the bottom, we were just racing all over. I thought it was pretty good racing myself."

Tim Kaeding, the 2012 World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series winner at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas, finished fourth with Kerry Madsen charging from 25 ^th to fifth to earn the KSE Hard Charger Award.

Brown was sixth, Joey Saldana seventh, 19^th starter Jason Meyers eighth, Cody Darrah ninth and fast qualifier Lucas Wolfe rounded out the top 10.
