Mr. Ohsweken Speedway: Jason Sides Wins for the Third Time at Canadian Track

Ohsweken, ON-July 30, 2010- Jason Sides really isn't sure what makes him so good at Ohsweken Speedway in Canada, but every single time he has been to the track he has been in contention for a win with the World of Outlaws. He added to his stellar record at the 3/8-mile on Friday night, as he dominated the 30-lap contest score his third win in four starts at the track located in Glenn Styres backyard.

For Sides, the $10,000 triumph was his fourth World of Outlaws A-Feature win of the season which is a career-high. He won in the series debut at Ohsweken in 2007 and also was victorious last season at the track in the finale, after running up front early in the opener only to have a flat tire force him to the work area.

"It's just one of those places where you have a lot of confidence coming in because you have run well at before and I think that carries into each time we come here," said Sides in Victory Lane. "This is just one of those places that I really like and I hope to come back many times."

Sides sliced his way through lapped traffic for a majority of the race on Friday night after starting on the pole aboard the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim. He set a blistering pace, lapping all the way up to the 14th-place finisher.

"The car really was good anywhere," stated Sides. "We probably weren't going as fast as the second and third-place cars, but we were getting through lapped cars quicker than them. We were able to choose our lines right and correctly. There were so many lapped cars spread out everywhere that we were trying to pick and choose the right lines to go to."

The only caution of the night flew on the 17th lap with Sides choosing the low line on the double file restart, with Steve Kinser lining up beside him. Sides shot into turn one, quickly opening a lead and was back in lapped traffic just six laps later and weaved his way through the slower machines for the final eight laps.

"I'm not sure if it was right or wrong, but we had been on the bottom the first few times and it's just where I wanted to run," he said when asked about his choice of the low line on the double file restart. "I got a good restart and that helped."

Craig Dollansky used a strong restart on the 17th lap to get around Steve Kinser for the second spot. Dollansky lined fifth in the main event after charging from the 10th starting spot in the dash. He ended up second in the Big Game Treestands Maxim. In four starts at Ohsweken Speedway he has finished seventh or better all four times, with the last three all being podium finishes.

"We had a good run going the other night at Drummondville (Autodrome Drummond) and had a driveline go on us and we started tonight out with another driveline problem," Dollansky shared. "We got that sorted out and just kept working with things. We started deep in the dash and got ourselves forward there. We were able to get pretty close to Jason (Sides) there at the end of the feature."

Donny Schatz snagged the third spot on the final lap from Joey Saldana as the pair drag raced down the front straightaway. He lined up eighth in the Armor All/STP J&J and gained a position on the opening lap and worked his way into the Top-Five just past the halfway point of the 30-lapper. He got around Steve Kinser on the 22nd lap before battling Saldana for the final eight circuits.

"It was a fun race," said Schatz. "Joey (Saldana) got ripping around the top there and then it slowed back down. We lost some ground in the dash and had to make it back up. I had a good car and the fun part is that I know we did something wrong from the first time I hit the gas and we can fix that for tomorrow."

Dollansky had a close call on the 17th lap when Alain Bergeron spun in turn two right in front of him, collecting Kraig Kinser. Dollansky was able to just avoid any contact and restarted on the inside of the second row.

"It was a close call," said Dollansky. "I would have liked to have stayed in lapped traffic or had a few more laps. It seemed like Jason (Sides) was getting loose and I was getting loose too. It's great that we got the event in here tonight. I know they have dealt with rain every time we have been up here the last couple of years."

Schatz has finished on the podium each and every time he has competed at Ohsweken Speedway, as he entered Friday's race with three straight runner-up finishes at the track. He rebounded after falling out of the race at Autodrome Drummond on Tuesday night while running second with a mechanical problem in the late going.

"We haven't been bad here we just need to be a little better," stated Schatz. "Jason (Sides) is good here when they have the speed up when you can just let the tires fry and still go somewhere with the speed up. Hopefully we can come back tomorrow and be a little better. We've been fighting some sort of ignition issue. It took us out of the race the other night at Drummondville and obviously it's not gone yet. We'll keep working on that and hopefully find it and to finish first, you have to first finish. We'll work on that too."

Joey Saldana, the current World of Outlaws point leader, came home fourth in the Budweiser Maxim, with Steve Kinser, who is second in points, one spot behind him in fifth aboard the Bass Pro Shops Maxim.

Danny Lasoski was sixth in the Casey's General Stores JEI, with Doug Esh finishing seventh to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award in the Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX. Sam Hafertepe Jr. used a strong restart on the 17th lap to gain six spot in the Lone Star Speedway Maxim to end up eighth on the night. Paul McMahan was ninth in the Great Clips Maxim. Jason Meyers rounded out the Top-10, after having a flat tire on the 17 th lap and having to restart the back of the field in the GLR Investments KPC.

The World of Outlaws wrap-up the Six Nations Showdown Presented by Arrow Express at Ohsweken Speedway on Saturday, July 31.

Previewing the World of Outlaws at Ohsweken Speedway

Ohsweken, ON--July 29, 2010- Build it and they will come. Glenn Styres did exactly that when he constructed Ohsweken Speedway right in his backyard in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada with the intent of having the best sprint car drivers in the world race at his track. Again in 2010, the World of Outlaws will converge on the always racy 3/8-mile in Ontario for two full nights of racing on Friday, July 30 and Saturday, July 31 with $10,000 awaiting the winner each night.

Jason Meyers and Jason Sides split wins at Ohsweken last season with Meyers taking the opener and Sides the finale. Sides is the winningest driver with the World of Outlaws at Ohsweken Speedway, having taking the checkered flag twice in the three races the series has contested at the track dating back to 2007. In fact, Sides has led in each and every one of those feature events. He was running second last season in the opener when a piece of debris cut a tire on his machine, forcing him to the work area. The veteran restarted at the tail of the field and charged all the way back to finish eighth.

Meyers, who was caught up in a first-lap wreck in his debut at Ohsweken in 2007, made up for that last season by winning the opener and finished fourth in the finale. He took the lead from Sides on the 10th lap and would lead the final 21 circuits to score the win over Donny Schatz and Craig Dollansky. Meyers is currently second in wins this season with seven and is third in points, just 18 markers out of second and 47 out of the lead as he chases his first title.

Donny Schatz, the four-time and defending World of Outlaws champion, has been the most consistent driver at Ohsweken Speedway with the series, having finished second in all three events at Ohsweken Speedway dating back to 2007. The North Dakota native has won twice this season and is currently fourth in points.

Joey Saldana leads the series into Ohsweken on the strength of 10 A-Feature wins as he chases his first series title, with 20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser hot on his heels, just 29 markers out of the top spot as he seeks his record 21st championship. Kinser is the most recent winner on the tour, taking the checkered flag on Tuesday night in the series debut at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec.

A full racing program is on tap each night this weekend at Ohsweken Speedway, with time trials, heat races, a dash, the Last Chance Showdown and a 30-lap A-Feature event paying $10,000 to-win both on Friday, July 30 and Saturday, July 31.

The Buzz:

· Jason Sides looks to add to his strong track record at Ohsweken Speedway, where he has won twice and finished eighth. He has led more laps at the track than any other driver, pacing the field for 52 laps in his three starts.

· Jason Meyers finished first and fourth last season at Ohsweken Speedway after getting caught up in a first lap wreck at the track in his debut there in 2007. He is second this season in wins with the World of Outlaws with seven and is currently third in points.

One year ago: Jason Meyers and Jason Sides split wins at Ohsweken Speedway. In the opener, Sides led early, before Meyers got around him on the high side of turn two and quickly opened a four-car length advantage. Sides began to pull away on the eighth lap, as he entered lapped traffic. On the ninth lap, Meyers nearly took the lead in turn two as a lapped machine stopped in front of Sides, bringing out another caution. On the restart on the 10th, Meyers again went high in turns one and two and pulled even with Sides, with the latter again leading down the back straightaway. As they entered turn three Meyers took the lead with Sides quickly battling back. Meyers would withstand a charge from Donny Schatz late in the race to score the win, with Craig Dollansky third, Steve Kinser fourth and Jac Haudenschild fifth.

In the finale, Dollansky led early, before Sides used a strong restart on the 10th lap to get along sides the leader, nearly taking the top spot from him in turns one and two and then taking the lead as the pair powered their way through turns three and four. Sides quickly pulled away once in front. He was in lapped traffic on the eighth go-around, though the second caution of the night came on the 10th lap giving him clear track to work with. Sides began to pull away with 10 laps remaining as Dollansky and Schatz battled for the second spot. The leader found himself in lapped traffic the last couple of laps, but weaved his way through the slower machines en route to the victory, with Schatz second, Dollansky third, Meyers fourth and Jac Haudenschild fifth.

Kinser Conquers Quebec: Wins Inaugural World of Outlaws Event at Autodrome Drummond

Drummondville, QC-July 27, 2010- Steve Kinser has an amazing record over the years when he visits a track for the first time with the World of Outlaws, having scored well over 50 wins in debut events for the series. The 20-time series champion added to that remarkable list on Tuesday night as he was victorious in the World of Outlaws first-ever race at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada before a standing room only crowd on a picture perfect night.

Kinser started on the outside of the front row and battled his teammate Donny Schatz in the early going, taking the top spot from him on the fifth lap as the pair exited turn four, using the low side of the four-tenths-mile to surge ahead. He would quickly pull away in lapped traffic. The native of Bloomington, Indiana would pace the final 31 circuits of the 35-lap contest to score his sixth A-Feature win of the season and the 558th of his amazing career.

"It is special," said Kinser in Victory Lane of scoring another inaugural event win. "I thought we may have been jinxed earlier when Johnny (Gibson) said earlier how we have won a lot of races in our first time at a track and I know we have, but you sort of hate hearing it before you go out there. To get another first win is great."

Kinser was out front for three double file restarts and chose the low line each and every time. He led Donny Schatz into turns one and two on the first two and had Paul McMahan lined up on his outside on the final restart with six laps remaining. Kinser used strong restarts each time to stay in front aboard the Bass Pro Shops Maxim.

"The leader gets to set the pace with the line he chooses, so I choked them down a bit and caught the moisture getting off (turn) four," explained the Hall of Famer. "I didn't want them to get up to speed and get a run at me coming off four. They were pretty slow starts, but that's what you have to do sometimes, pick a spot and do what you can."

Schatz, who led the first four laps of the race on Tuesday night, used a strong restart on the 22nd lap to look high off turns one and two in his bid for the lead. He used the same strategy on the following lap, but could not quite make the pass. The final restart of the night would come with six laps remaining, after Schatz stopped on the track with a mechanical problem while running second.

"I didn't really know when to move back up and Donny (Schatz) showed himself and I moved back up on top," Kinser noted. "Then I started running out of fuel on the last five laps and didn't think I was going to make it to the checker on the last lap. It was spitting and sputtering, but we made and that's what matters."

Paul McMahan ended up second on Tuesday night to earn his 10th Top-Five finish in the last 12 races, which is the most of any driver during that span. The veteran started fourth in the Great Clips Maxim and ran in the Top-Five all night, getting around Chad Kemenah late in the going for third, before moving into second when Schatz dropped out.

"We've been real good," said McMahan. "The car was awesome fast all night long. It's just great to be back in Canada. The fans are great and it's unbelievable how packed the place is. Hopefully we'll be back many times down the road."

Joey Saldana, the current World of Outlaws point leader finished third after lining up 11th in the Budweiser Maxim to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award. The second generation driver holds a 29-point advantage over Kinser as he chases his first title.

"We were struggling with our car all night and weren't too bad in the feature," said Saldana. "It's hard racing with these guys when you start in the 11th spot and it's tough to make it up. We had a good solid car and just came home third."

McMahan lined up on the outside of Kinser on the final restart with six laps to go. He dove to the low side of turns one and two to no avail as he kept pace with Kinser on the restart. Coupled with Saldana's third-place finish it was the fourth time this season that both Kasey Kahne Racing cars have finished on the podium on the same night.

"My motor wasn't taking off very good so I was trying to get down to the bottom as fast as I could," shared McMahan. "I got down there and had one shot at Steve (Kinser) and he was better than we were. I was probably a third-place car until Donny (Schatz) broke. We came home second and it was a great night for Kasey Kahne Racing."

Jason Meyers, who is currently third in points, finished fourth in the GLR Investments KPC. Sam Hafertepe Jr. used a strong restart following the lap-29 caution to power his way from 10th to fifth in the final six laps in the Lone Star Speedway Maxim.

Chad Kemenah scored a sixth-place finish in the Golden Flavor Sesame Sticks Maxim, with Kraig Kinser seventh in the Quaker State Maxim. Lucas Wolfe was eighth in the Allebach Racing Maxim with Danny Lasoski ninth aboard the Casey's General Stores Maxim. Jason Sides rounded out the Top-10 in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Friday, July 30 and Saturday, July 31 at Ohsweken Speedway in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada for a two-night event.

of Outlaws Wrap-up: Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30’s, Williams Grove Summer Nationals & Lebanon Valley Speedway

Concord, NC-July 26, 2010-

Morgan Cup On Tap in 2011- Williams Grove Speedway officials released details recently of the inaugural Morgan Cup that will take place in May of 2011, pitting the Top-Five World of Outlaws finishers and the Top-Five Pennsylvania Posse in this year's Morgan Hughes Nationals against each other in a 12-lap dash, which will pay $10,000 to-win, with the victor also earning the coveted Morgan Cup. With Lance Dewease and Greg Hodnett's wins last weekend, the PA Posse has now won eight straight against the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove heading into the National Open in the fall.

The level of competition just keeps rising: Lance Dewease won the opener of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's at Lernerville Speedway on July 20 to become the 14th different driver to visit Victory Lane with the World of Outlaws in 2010. Greg Hodnett and Doug Esh followed with wins on Saturday and Sunday, to bring the total number of winners this season with the series to 16. A total of 16 drivers were victorious last season in 67 total races. A total of 26 drivers have led laps in feature events thus far in 2010 with the World of Outlaws, surpassing the 25 that paced the field in 2009.

Mr. Consistent: Paul McMahan led the first 10 laps last Friday night in the opener of the Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway, after winning the dash to earn the pole position. He jumped to an early lead over Chad Layton and Steve Kinser. He wound up fourth after his tires went away late in the race to earn his eighth Top-Five finish in a nine-race stretch. He led again the follow night coming home second to earn his ninth Top-10 in a 10 races, which was the most of any driver on the tour over that span. He wrapped up the weekend with a Top-10 at Lebanon Valley Speedway and has more Top-10 finishes in the last 11 races than any other drive on the tour. The veteran is currently sixth in points, less than 50 points out of the fifth spot.

It's been a while: Jonathan Allard made his first visit to Williams Grove Speedway since 2004 last weekend for the Summer Nationals. He timed in 13th in a very strong 48-car field in the opener and won The Last Chance Showdown to earn a spot in the main event on Friday night, where he finished a very respectable 17th, which was a career-best effort at the half-mile. The two-time King of California came up just a couple of spots short of racing his way into the main event in the finale of the Summer Nationals.

A career-best finish: Danny Dietrich scored his best World of Outlaws finish last Friday night in the opener of the Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway. The 22-year old lined up 18th in the 25-lap event and steadily made his way to the front, finishing a very solid seventh to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award for passing the most cars in the main event.

Running up front: Don Kreitz Jr., who has nine career World of Outlaws A-Feature wins, picked up his best finish with the series since 2005 last Friday night in the opener of the Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway, coming home sixth. He began the night by turning in the seventh fastest lap in time trials of the 48 cars that took to the track. Kreitz followed that up with a second-place finish in the third heat race to earn a spot in the dash, where he would finish eighth. The veteran has won six times over the year with the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove.

Mactching a career-best run: David Gravel matched his best career World of Outlaws finish on Sunday night in his second start at Lebanon Valley Speedway coming home seventh. The Connecticut native finished seventh last year at Eldora Speedway with the series, and has two career Top-10 performances. He opened the night by turning the fourth fastest lap in time trials, which also matched a career-best, as he also timed in fourth at Eldora. Gravel earned a spot in the dash at Lebanon Valley Speedway, which marked the first time in his career he was in the dash with the World of Outlaws.

Hard charger: Brian Ellenberger came from the 25th starting spot in the opener of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's at his home track of Lernerville Speedway to finish 13th to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award for the third time this season, which is third-best in the series.

First time in the dash: Danny Holtgraver, the current Lernerville Speedway point leader, finished second in the third heat during the Silver Cup to earn a spot in the World of Outlaws dash for the first time in his career. The 20-year old finished 10th in the dash to earn a fifth row starting spot in the opener of the Twin 30's. He finished 19th in the opener and was a career-best 14th in the finale as he made his third and fourth career A-feature starts with the World of Outlaws.

Leading some laps: Tyler Walker led his first laps with the World of Outlaws since 2003 last week in the finale of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's. He lined up on the pole of the inverted race and paced the first five circuits before a spin coming off turn two. The Californian native finished as the last car on the lead lap, in the 14th spot in the opener of the Silver Cup thus earning him the pole for the finale, as the lead lap finishers from the opener were inverted.

First A-Feature event: Steve Lines raced his way into the Silver Cup through The Last Chance Showdown to start 18th in the opener to qualify for his first A-Feature event with the World of Outlaws. He was not able to start the finale after having the steering on his machine break. Lines, who is a three-time South Australia title winner, has made a trip to the United States each of the last two years in the summer to compete in a number of races in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio before heading back to his native land.

Tony Stewart Racing’s Schatz, Kinser Surge in LaCrosse Extreme Tough Challenge

CONCORD, NC - July 26, 2010 - They have 24 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series championships between them, and during the weekend Tony Stewart Racing's Donny Schatz and Steve Kinser surged toward the top of the LaCrosse Footwear Extreme Tough Challenge standings after events at Williams Grove Speedway and Lebanon Valley Speedway.

Schatz was the top-running World of Outlaws driver on Friday night at Williams Grove in Mechanicsburg, Pa., marking the second time he has earned the most points in an Extreme Tough Challenge event this season. On Sunday night at Lebanon Valley in West Lebanon, N.Y., Steve Kinser was the top touring driver at the checkered flag and picked up the maximum five Extreme Tough Challenge points for the first time this year, moving him into a third-place tie with Kasey Kahne Racing's Joey Saldana at 13 points overall.

Through five Extreme Tough Challenge events for the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and three events for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, Schatz is now the overall leader by four points over World of Outlaws Late Model Series star Shane Clanton.

"It's great that LaCrosse Footwear is involved and my hat's off to them," said Schatz, the four-time and defending World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion. "Anyone that gets involved and puts up money like they are doing is helping the sport. Hopefully we can keep running up front in their races."

In addition to Schatz and Kinser, Jason Meyers picked up seven points between the two events and Craig Dollansky earned four points, his first points of the mini-series that concludes in November with the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.

Clanton has earned the most points in two of the three World of Outlaws Late Model Series Extreme Tough Challenge events. Through eight events (three Late Model races, five Sprint Car races), 18 different drivers have earned points.

The Extreme Tough Challenge features 16 overall events - eight per series - where drivers who are competing full-time in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series or the World of Outlaws Late Model Series earn points toward the championship. The top five finishers no matter the series will share a $15,000 point fund, and the winning driver will receive the Extreme Tough Challenge champion trophy.

Previewing the Inaugural World of Outlaws Event at Autodrome Drummond

Drummondville, QC--July 26, 2010- The World of Outlaws will truly be worldly this week on Tuesday, July 27, as the series heads to Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada for an inaugural event, which continues the second East Coast Swing of the season and will mark one of five total races in Canada for the series at three different tracks in 2010, including three shows this week.

The event at Autodrome Drummond will mark the first World of Outlaws race in the Province of Quebec, which will be the fourth inaugural event for the series in 2010, and will be the first ever 410-winged sprint car race at the banked four-tenths-mile.

The World of Outlaws raced in Canada for the first time in 1979 at Victory Lane Speedway in Winnipeg with Sammy Swindell winning that event. The series has competed at three different tracks north of the border in the last 31 years, with seven drivers taking the checkered flag over that span, including five that will be in action at Autodrome Drummond.

Joey Saldana leads the series into Autodrome Drummond as the current World of Outlaws point leader on the strength of 10 A-Feature wins as he chases his first title. Steve Kinser is right behind him, just 36 markers out of the top spot as he seeks his record 21st title. Jason Meyers is currently third only 45 markers out of the lead as he too chases his first title.

Saldana and Meyers each were victorious in Canada last season, with Saldana winning at Castrol Raceway and Meyers picking up the checkered flag at Ohsweken Speedway, while Kinser scored his first win north of the border in 2008 at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton. Donny Schatz, the four-time and defending series champion, who is fourth in points, also has won in Canada, as has Jason Sides, who is fifth in the standings.

The Buzz:

· Another great points race is shaping up this year, with Joey Saldana currently leading Steve Kinser by just 36 markers with Jason Meyers third, only 45 behind, with those three drivers leading the series in wins this season.

· The World of Outlaws will make two separate trips to Canada this season, with the first being this week, followed by a stop at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton in late August.

· Jason Sides has won twice in Canada with the World of Outlaws, with both of those

victories coming at Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario.

· Jason Meyers scored his first career win in Canada last season at Ohsweken Speedway. He also has won twice north of the border, with one of those victories coming at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton.

· Donny Schatz also scored his first win in Canada in 2008 adding to the wins he has in Australia.

A Dazzling Debut: Doug Esh Wins in First Trip to Lebanon Valley Speedway

West Lebanon, NY-July 25, 2010- Doug Esh had never seen Lebanon Valley Speedway until Sunday afternoon when he rolled through the pit gate, but that didn't really matter as he quickly got up to speed and put himself in the right spots to win in his debut at the blazing fast half-mile to score his first World of Outlaws A-Feature win of the season and the second of his career.

Esh started on the pole and beat Jason Sides into turn one at the drop of the green and would use strong restarts a couple of times en route to the $10,000 triumph, as he continues to fill in for the injured Jac Haudenschild in the Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX.

"This is unbelievable," said Esh in Victory Lane. "I have to thank Lon Carnahan for giving me a shot. It's a shame that Jac (Haudenschild) got hurt. The Triple X car, I had never driven one and this may be the best car I have ever sat in. Leonard, Marie and Kyle worked hard all day and had one of the fastest cars here tonight and I just had to get the job done."

Esh was out front with two laps to go when the second and final caution flag of the night flew, setting up a double file restart with 20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser lining up alongside of him. Esh chose the low side of the track and led the field into turns one and two to hold onto the lead and was able to pull away a little bit on the final lap of the 25-lap contest.

"He is 'The King' and I am the little guys," quipped the winner when asked about having Kinser line up next to him on the double file restart. "I figured if I could get a good run off of (turn) four and get to the corner first I could get it done. Jason Sides and I battled all night from the front row. These motors take off great and never stop."

Esh chose the low side at the half-mile on both double file restarts, at a track where traditionally the pole position is on the outside line and drivers always chose the high side of the track on restarts when given the choice. The first caution of the night flew on the 13th lap, at which time Esh had opened a fairly sizable lead over Jason Sides.

"Leonard (Lee) and I talked about it and all night I started on the bottom and was able to get the lead, so why change that," explained the native of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. "The car felt great down there and the motor runs great off the corner. I didn't want to change what was working."

Steve Kinser used strong double file restart on the 13th lap to get by Jason Sides for second and looked to the inside of Esh in turns one and two and again in three and four to no avail on that same lap. On the finale restart he lined up on the high side of the half-mile next to Esh and wound up second in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim to score his series leading 26th Top-Five finish of the season.

"I wanted to be down in the moisture, is where I wanted to be," shared the 20-time series champion. "There was no way you were going to beat anyone off the top off of (turn) four, it was just too slick. Once you got speed up there you were all right. I wanted to try and work the bottom and think I could have. I didn't need that last yellow, if we would have raced in traffic that was probably about the only shot we had."

Donny Schatz came from the ninth starting spot to finish third aboard the Armor All/STP J&J to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award. He gained three spots on the opening lap before Jason Meyers got back around him for sixth on the second circuit. The pair then battled for the next several laps. Schatz was able to gain a spot on the lap-13 double file restart on the way to his 21st Top-Five finish of the season.

"We had a shot at it, but catching him is one thing and passing him is a whole different thing," stated Schatz. "It was a good run for us starting ninth, you can't complain about that. We passed all the guys on the bottom and would have liked to have had a few more laps, but 25 laps was enough and we got a pretty respectable finish."

Summer Slam: Greg Hodnett Wins $20,000 Finale of Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway

Mechanicsburg, PA-July 24, 2010- Greg Hodnett fondly recalled on Saturday night how the late Jim Nace used to the say the bottom of the track was the "Money Lane." That proved to be true in the finale of the Summer Nationals at the famed Williams Grove Speedway, as Hodnett worked the low side of the half-mile to perfection, to score the $20,000 win as the "Month of Money" continues for the World of Outlaws.

Hodnett dove under Paul McMahan in turn two on the 26th lap to take the top spot and would lead the final five circuits of the 30-lapper to pick up his 10th career World of Outlaws A-Feature win and his fourth in the last six races for the series at Williams Grove Speedway.

"It was a really good race and an exciting race, at least from my standpoint where I was," said Hodnett in Victory Lane. "The race track was in really good shape for the second night of a two-night show. There were a lot of slide jobs and I'm sure it was exciting for the fans."

Hodnett fell all the way back to ninth early in the race after starting third and used an open red flag on the eighth lap to his advantage, as his crew made a number of changes on the Macri Concrete Maxim. On the ensuing restart, he began his march to the front moving all the way up to sixth, as he charged past Tyler Walker and Jason Meyers. He battled Craig Dollansky for the fifth spot for a few laps, before taking that position on lap-14. Joey Saldana, Jason Sides and Sammy Swindell were next on his radar, as he moved into second with 11 laps to go, setting his sights on McMahan.

"We were all balled up and couldn't run the center, so we actually freed it up and it got to rolling better," explained the winner of the open red flag. "On the restart, I went to the bottom and I could see those guys weren't going anymore and I figured they were losing their tires. I just kind if laid back and let them come to me."

The victory for Hodnett extended the Pennsylvania Posse's win streak to eight at Williams Grove Speedway against the World of Outlaws dating back to last season, which is the longest win streak in the long, storied rivalry.

"It means a lot," Hodnett admitted of winning for the PA Posse. "All the guys here do a great job. It feels good to be one of the guys that have helped hold them at bay. Every week we come here is tough. I think that competition level puts us in a good spot when the Outlaws come to town. The Outlaws guys and the guys that run here every week are so smart that they figure things out quickly. Any little thing you can find that works, you had better take advantage of, because it won't last long."

Paul McMahan started on the pole after winning the dash for the second consecutive night and ran third in the early going, as Sammy Swindell led and Jason Sides moved into second on the opening lap. McMahan took the lead from Swindell coming off turn four on the 16th lap when the fourth and final caution of the night flew, negating the pass. On the restart, McMahan would lead the field down the front straightaway into turn one. The veteran would wind up leading 10 laps aboard the Great Clips Maxim en route to a runner-up finish.

"Second place here at the Grove is nothing to hand your head about," stated McMahan. "To get beat by Greg Hodnett and Lee Stauffer is nothing to bat an eye at. Those guys are awesome. I've been the bridesmaid now three times in the last month. My wife told me this morning before I came out here that it was my turn and that I was going to win a race. I kind of feel like I let her down."

Jason Sides moved into second right at the start of the race and looked low in turns three and four for the lead on the opening circuit, but could not quite get enough of a run on Swindell. Again on the second lap, Sides would look low, this time in turns one and two to no avail. He would run in the Top-Four all night on his way to a third-place finish in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim.

"They guys never gave up and neither did I," shared Sides. "We had a crappy night last night (Friday) after we drew a bad number and went out late. We had a really good race track tonight and went out early and it does show that an early draw here is important. Anytime you can get a good draw is good."

McMahan lined up on the inside of the track twice on double file restarts and on the outside twice as well. The lap-16 restart saw him charge down the front straightaway and into the lead. For McMahan, the podium finish was his ninth Top-Five in the last 10 races, which leads all drivers over that span.

"My car was working really good and I could put it anywhere on the race track," said McMahan. "Sammy (Swindell) chose the top each time and was starting really early and went way up high. I just got a good restart off the bottom and a good run down the front straightaway and cleared him in (turn) one and he slide me and was able to keep running the same line that I had been running and got back by him. We just needed it to be 25 laps and not 30."

Jason Sides fell back to fifth on the seventh lap, before working his way back around Craig Dollansky and Joey Saldana on the way to his 15 th Top-Five finish of the season, which matched his best career run at Williams Grove Speedway. Sides began the night by turning the fastest lap in time trials of the 46 cars that took to the track.

"Before that last caution I think we could have won it," Sides said, "I got by on the bottom and were floating there in the middle some and was catching Paul (McMahan) and Sammy (Swindell). Traffic was going to help I think and I wish we would have gotten to it sooner."

Sammy Swindell, who led the first 15 laps on Saturday night, ended up fourth in the Big Game Treestands Maxim. Chad Layton came home fifth in the Middleswarth Chips J&J.

Lance Dewease, who won the opener of the Summer Nationals on Friday night, came all the way from the 24th starting spot to finish sixth in the Advance Development Services Maxim to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award. Joey Saldana finished seventh in the Budweiser Maxim to extend his lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings. Tyler Walker was eighth in the Hunter Truck Sales Maxim, with Steve Kinser coming from 17th to finish ninth in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim. Sam Hafertepe Jr. rounded out the Top-10 in the Lone Star Speedway Maxim.

The World of Outlaws continue the second East Coast swing of the season on Sunday, July 25 at Lebanon Valley Speedway in New York.

Seventh Heaven: Lance Dewease Wins Opener of Summer Nationals to Extend PA Posse Win Streak to Seven at Williams Grove Speedway & Earn Seventh World of Outlaws Win

Mechanicsburg, PA-July 23, 2010- Lance Dewease has accomplished quite a bit in his illustrious career, but one thing he had never done was to win two World of Outlaws A-Feature events in one season, let alone in one week. That is until Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway in the opener of the Summer Nationals, as he followed up his win at Lernerville Speedway earlier this week with a victory at his home track in front of a very large crowd at the historic half-mile.

The victory was the seventh A-Feature triumph for Dewease with the World of Outlaws in his career and also extended the Pennsylvania Posse's win streak to seven against the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove Speedway dating back to last season.

"It means a lot," said Dewease in Victory Lane. "We always like to defend our own turf here at 'The Grove.' These guys are tough and they are the best in the business. I was pretty happy with our race car the other night at Lernerville (Speedway) and was happy with it again tonight."

The race began with Chad Layton, who won against the World of Outlaws back in May, leading at the start, though the first caution of the night flew before that lap was in the books, leading to a complete restart. On the second start, Paul McMahan who lined up on the pole led the field into turn one and opened a comfortable lead in the early going.

The only red flag of the night flew on the eighth circuit when Steve Kinser who had just taken the second spot from Chad Layton got into the turn four wall and upside down. On the ensuing double file restart, McMahan chose the high line, with Dewease sliding to the lead in turn one, only to have the caution come out before the lap was complete for a Sam Hafertepe Jr. crash, leading to a single file restart, since a complete lap was not in the books after the double file restart.

On the following single file restart, Dewease was all over McMahan, nearly the taking the lead off turns three and four on the ninth lap. Two laps later, Dewease would get around McMahan in turns three and four and quickly began to pull away.

The remainder of the 25-lap contest went without a caution, with Dewease leading the final 15 circuits, weaving his way through lapped traffic to score his second World of Outlaws win of the season.

"After that red, I don't know if my tires cool off or lost some air, but I got really good there for a while," he explained. "We got the wing back under it, and when we can get the wing back here, we usually get going pretty good. After I got by him, I wasn't sure where to run and was driving across the middle of the race so good, that I thought we'd be all right there and we were."

Dewease started fifth in the main event aboard the Advanced Development Services Maxim and got around Donny Schatz in the early going for fourth, before moving up to second after the lap-8 incident involving Kinser and Layton. Dewease began the night with a 14th-place qualifying effort, which put him on the pole of a heat race, which he ran second in to earn a spot in the dash. He came from eighth to fifth in the dash.

"Qualifying is everything right now and the times are so close that if you are even off just a hair, it shows," noted the veteran. "We've been fortunate enough to put ourselves in positions to win races."

Schatz ended up second in the Armor All/STP J&J to earn his 20th Top-Five finish of the season. He fell to fifth early before gaining a couple of spots, before getting around Paul McMahan for second on the 16th lap of the 25-lapper. Schatz began the night by turning the fastest lap in time trials of the 48 cars that were in attendance.

"It was a good night," shared Schatz. "We qualified good and were good in the heat. We got better the longer the feature went and that is a testament to my guys. We felt like we had the car where we needed it to be and you can't ask for more than that. There was one car a little better and my hat's off to those guys. We're going in the right direction."

Jason Meyers worked his way from the 10th starting spot to finish third in the GLR Investments KPC to earn his 21st Top-Five finish of the season. He used a very strong initial start of the race to move up to sixth and found himself in fourth just eight laps into the going. After battling Paul McMahan for a number of laps, he got around him with four to go, to earn the final spot on the podium.

"We'll definitely take it," Meyers said. "We were trying to move around on the race track tonight and we got going through the middle pretty good, which I think will help us tomorrow night. I'm happy with tonight, especially after pulling a late pill draw (for qualifying). I'm looking forward to coming back tomorrow and hopefully getting a better pill draw and seeing if we can better this a few spots."

Schatz, who has 15 career wins with the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove Speedway, has his sights set on the $20,000 top prize that awaits the winner on Saturday night, as he has won the Summer Nationals two of the last three years. The four-time and defending series champion gained some ground as well on Friday night in the series standings, as he finished ahead of each of the three guys in front of him in points.

"Everything we did tonight is big for tomorrow," explained Schatz. "That's kind of the key when you come to these two and three-day shows here at The Grove. We have a pretty good qualifying package and have been running pretty good and that's pretty important. We haven't been on a track this slick all year and we're glad to be on something like this. We were a little hesitant on how far to go. We're glad to get what we did and we'll come back tomorrow."

Meyers, who is looking for his first career win at Williams Grove, moved into the second spot in the World of Outlaws standings after Steve Kinser ended up 23rd. He trails Joey Saldana by 34 markers heading into the finale of the Summer Nationals on Saturday night. He has finished on the podium in three of his last five starts at the half-mile.

"Every time you come in here you learn something," Meyers noted of Williams Grove Speedway. "We seem to be getting the hang of it here and hopefully we'll be even better tomorrow."

Paul McMahan, who led the first 10 laps of the race on Friday night, ended up fourth in the Great Clips Maxim, to earn his eighth Top-Five finish in the last nine races.

Greg Hodnett was fifth aboard the Macri Concrete Maxim, with Don Kreitz Jr. sixth in the Sharman Builders Maxim. Danny Dietrich came from 18 th to finish seventh in the Sandoes Fruit Market Maxim to earn his best career World of Outlaws finish along with the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award. Stevie Smith was eighth aboard the Zemco Speed Equipment Maxim. Alan Krimes was ninth in the Conestoga Valley Garage Maxim, with Sammy Swindell rounding out the Top-10 in the Big Game Treestands Maxim.

The World of Outlaws wrap- up the Summer Nationals at the famed Williams Grove Speedway on Saturday, July 24 with $20,000 awaiting the winner.

Previewing the World of Outlaws at Lebanon Valley Speedway

West Lebanon, NY--July 23, 2010- There are not too many tracks on the World of Outlaws circuits that are quite as fast as the ultra high-banked Lebanon Valley Speedway in New York.

Jac Haudenschild Sidelined by Broken Right Hand

Concord, NC-July 22, 2010- Jac Haudenschild, who has won twice this year with the World of Outlaws, will miss a couple of weeks of action after suffering a broken bone in his right hand. Haudenschild is currently ninth in the World of Outlaws championship standings on the strength of 19 Top-10 finishes with eight of those being Top-Five performances.

The Hall of Famer took a wild ride at LaSalle Speedway on July 8 in the finale of the Showdown for the Bud Crown, getting into the turn three fence and wall very hard. He competed in a few races following that accident, turning in a very gutsy performance in the Knight Before the Kings Royal, charging from the 23rd starting spot to finish sixth, while driving with significant pain and discomfort in the hand.

"It's pretty disappointing," said Haudenschild. "We've felt good in the car this year and been fast and have won a couple of times. We're looking forward to getting back to racing in a few weeks."

Haudenschild hopes to return to the seat for the Knoxville Nationals at the famed Knoxville Raceway in Iowa, August 11-14 then be back in World of Outlaws action at Nodak Speedway in Minot, North Dakota on August 20-21 in the Magic City Showdown.

 

Halfway There: Joey Saldana Picks up Goodyear Mid-Season Championship as He Seeks His First World of Outlaws Title

Concord, NC-July 22, 2010- After winning a career-high 20 A-Feature events and 21 times overall last year, Joey Saldana has one goal this season and that is to win his first World of Outlaws championship. He is halfway to achieving that feat, as a very strong first half of the 2010 season has him on top of the series championship standings on the strength of 10 wins along with 25 Top-Five finishes and 30 Top-10's. For his efforts through the first half of the 2010 campaign, Saldana was named the Goodyear Mid-Season Champion on Tuesday night at Lernerville Speedway, collecting $10,000 for being on top of the standings.

"It feels pretty good to pick up this bonus," said Saldana. "I think it's awesome that Goodyear is putting up the money and did something like this. It's great that Goodyear stepped up and wanted to be part of our series. That in itself is huge for the World of Outlaws that Goodyear wanted to be involved with the series. To have them give us a Mid-Season point fund is great."

Saldana quickly got up to speed with the new tires from Goodyear this season, finishing eighth or better in each of the first eight races of the season and taking the point lead for the first time following the fifth race of the year. He leads the series in laps led, as well as money earned and is tied with Steve Kinser for the most Top-Five finishes on the circuit.

"They have built us a great tire and are doing a great job," shared the second generation driver when asked about Goodyear. "They just really got back into the sport with how long they had been gone. I think everything has been great. Goodyear is doing a great job and I appreciate their point fund. Hopefully we can win the whole deal at the end of the year."

Saldana currently holds a 25-point lead over 20-time series champion Steve Kinser, as he chases his first series title. The native of Brownsburg, Indiana finished second in points in 2007 and has been third twice in his World of Outlaws career. In the 30-plus year history of the series, only seven drivers have won titles, with Steve Kinser leading the way with 20, Donny Schatz with four, Sammy Swindell with three, Mark Kinser with two, while Dave Blaney, Bobby Davis Jr. and Danny Lasoski each have one title.

Saldana has led the World of Outlaws championship standings for longer than any of the other three drivers that have sat atop the leader board this season, holding the top spot for a total of 28 races, despite suffering a significant hand injury back in March that required extensive surgery. There have already been eight lead changes at the top of the standings this season through the first 40 races.

"I've never really been in this position or in the position where I've had a legitimate shot at the championship," explained Saldana. "We'll just keep doing what we are doing. We are winning races, though when we are not winning, we are having terrible nights. The thing that is saving us right now is that we have won a lot of races and more than the next guys in points. We can't fall out of races to stay in this thing. We'll definitely keep working hard and hopefully we can win a championship for Kasey Kahne Racing."

Each of the drivers currently in the Top-10 in the World of Outlaws championship standings received a cash bonus from the Goodyear Mid-Season point fund, which totaled $55,000.

Previewing the Summer Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway

Mechanicsburg, PA--July 22, 2010- In the sprint car world, there is not much that is more intense than a trip to the famed Williams Grove Speedway in Pennsylvania, especially for World of Outlaws drivers. With the track itself being one of the most challenging on the circuit, along with the level of competition always at its peak, in addition to the rivalry with the Pennsylvania Posse alive and well, drivers have to be on their game every time they turn a wheel on the historic half-mile.

Another chapter will be written in the storied rivalry between the World of Outlaws and the Pennsylvania Posse this weekend, as the series makes its second visit of the season to Williams Grove Speedway for the annual Summer Nationals on Friday, July 23 and Saturday, July 24, with $20,000 awaiting the winner of the finale as the "Month of Money" continues.

Chad Layton and Fred Rahmer split wins at Williams Grove earlier this season when the World of Outlaws made a stop at the track in May, to extend the Pennsylvania Posse's win streak to six. Layton battled Kraig Kinser in the opener, trading the lead a couple of times. In the finale, Brian Leppo led early, before Sam Hafertepe Jr. took the top spot. Rahmer used a strong restart with five laps remaining to move into third and swept around the Top-Two coming to the white flag, after lining up 24th in the field.

Donny Schatz, who has won the Summer Nationals in two of the last three seasons, charged from 18th to finish seventh in the opener at Williams Grove in May and started on the pole in the finale and was battling for the lead when he was caught up in a very hard first lap accident going into turn three that ended his night. The four-time and defending series champion has 15 career wins at Williams Grove Speedway dating back to 2000.

Steve Kinser, who kicked off the "Month of Money" with a win in the Kings Royal last Saturday night, has nearly 40 career wins at Williams Grove Speedway with the World of Outlaws. The 20-time series champion charged from 25th to 10th in the opener at the track in May and then came all the way from 25th to fifth in the finale. He has won five times this season as he chases his record 21st title.

Joey Saldana, who leads the World of Outlaws into Williams Grove Speedway, ran very strong in the spring at the track finishing second and fourth, after setting fast time in the opener and qualifying fourth in the finale. The second generation driver leads the series with 10 A-Feature wins this season, including the finale of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's on Tuesday night at Lernerville Speedway.

The World of Outlaws first competed at Williams Grove Speedway in 1978, with 26 drivers picking up a win over that span with Kinser and Schatz on top of that list.

The Buzz:

· The Pennsylvania Posse has won six consecutive races against the World of Outlaws at William Grove Speedway dating back to a sweep of all four races last season, making it the longest ever win streak during the rivalry.

· Steve Kinser passed more cars than any other driver in the spring at Williams Grove, coming from 25th to 10th in the opener and 25th to fifth in the finale to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award both night.

· Craig Dollansky has won a couple of preliminary features with the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove during his career and has over 20 Top-10 finishes at the track.

· Lucas Wolfe finished fourth in the opener for the World of Outlaws at Williams Grove back in May and was victorious earlier this season in a weekly show at his home track.

· Sam Hafertepe Jr. led 15 laps at Williams Grove on May 14 en route to a career-best second-place finish, as he continues to seek his first World of Outlaws A-Feature win.

World of Outlaws Fast Talkers: Williams Grove Summer Nationals

Mechanicsburg, PA—July 21, 2010— Prior to heading to the famed Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania for the Summer Nationals on Friday, July 23 and Saturday, July 24, each of the 16 drivers competing full-time with the World of Outlaws, shared their thoughts on the prestigious event at the always challenging half-mile. The winner of the finale of the Summer Nationals on Saturday night will earn $20,000, as the “Month of Money” continues for the World of Outlaws. Cody Darrah won the rain-delayed Summer Nationals last season, with the event being completed in October, on the same night as the National Open. Earlier this season at Williams Grove, Chad Layton and Fred Rahmer picked up wins to extend the Pennsylvania Posse’s win streak to six over the World of Outlaws, which is the longest it has ever been in its storied rivalry.

Craig Dollansky, Driver of the No. 7 Big Game Treestands Maxim:

“It’s a tough arena to go into to race for sure, but one of the tracks that I look forward to going to. Last time we were there it was in pretty good shape and a pretty racy-type track. Hopefully it’s that way again and a good show for the fans. When there is booing and cheering you definitely notice that. There is a lot more booing going on for the World of Outlaws guys that cheering. That’s the way it is and that’s what makes the racing what it is. You have fans that are for you and fans that are against you and you definitely have more Posse fans out there.”

Brian Ellenberger, Driver of the No. 22 Ti-22 Performance JEI:

“I’m looking forward to getting back out there and hopefully we can find some changes that will help me roll around there a little better. We’ve been struggling out there. I’ve raced there a fair amount of times over the year. We used to pull out there in the early part of the season and race out there every year. It’s a tough track and qualifying is very important, so hopefully we can qualify a little better than we have there in the past.”

Ben Gregg, Driver of the No. 2B Kronik Energy Maxim:

“I really enjoyed going there. I was probably a little more nervous going there than I needed to be, but I kind of took right to it. I’m looking forward to going back and getting a second shot at it. Having laps there definitely helps, especially since we had a two day show there the first time around. We’re just trying to pay attention to our program and get in the show up there.”

Sam Hafertepe Jr., Driver of the No. 15H Lone Star Speedway Maxim:

“We’re looking forward to going over there and have done really well the last three or four times over there, so we are pretty confident with what we have for that place. Having a couple of days over there will be good and hopefully we can draw some good numbers and get a good qualifying time and that will set us up for the whole weekend. We race our own deal and do our own program and we concentrate on what our car does and not really worry about what everyone else is doing.”

Jac Haudenschild, Driver of the No. R19 Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX:

“Going to Pennsylvania is always tough and those guys run there every week and get around there pretty good. They are definitely tough at the Grove. The heat races are always tough at the Grove and it comes back to qualifying and you have to qualify good and it’s tough to qualify good there because you have a lot of local guys that run good over there. If you can get through the heat race and get a good starting spot in the main event, you feel like you can get up through there.”

Chad Kemenah: Driver of the No. 63 Golden Flavor Sesame Sticks Maxim:

“Williams Grove is kind of a beast of its own and I don’t know if anyone has ever figured out the potion over there. You go there and always hope for the best. You never know when you leave Williams Grove. Those guys are tough for sure and some of the toughest locals we race all year. The race track itself adds so much to it. The race track itself is such a beast and those guys race there every week and they have it figured out. Hopefully we can go in there and have a couple of consistent runs.”

Kraig Kinser, Driver of the No. 11K Quaker State Maxim:

“In the sprint car world, when you go there, it’s like walking on hallowed ground, because there is so much history. If you like sprint car history, the Grove is a living legend and you always want to run well there, especially with the Posse guys there. The competition there makes it tough and it’s always a stellar field there. We try to focus on what we are doing. I grew up on the other end of that rivalry being around the Outlaws guys. They are some of the toughest competition around. They are friends and competitors and we share a common goal and a common love for the sport.”

Steve Kinser, Driver of the No. 11 Bass Pro Shops Maxim:

“It’s definitely a tough place and they have a lot of good race cars there. Like anywhere else, qualifying is very important. It can put you pretty deep in the field if you don’t watch it. I definitely need to run better there than I did last time. We look to get back on pace when we get there and hopefully have a good weekend over there.”

Danny Lasoski, Driver of the No. 6 Casey’s General Store JEI:

“We always look forward to going to Williams Grove. We feel like we have an “Ace in the hole,” with Barry Jackson. That’s his home track and we usually run good there. We were running good there the time before until we flipped and are ready to get back there. When we go there, you get to measure up against the local guys and they are the best in the country. We know this is the “Month of Money” and all the big races are up and you prepare each night to win and hope for the best.”

Toni Lutar, Driver of the No. 4X Northwest Used Auto Parts KPC:

“There is some pretty heavy competition there, but it’s a fun place to race at. The fans are pretty unique and pretty intense there. It’s a very fast track, that’s for sure. It’s a tough place that’s for sure, but I like going there and we had a good time back there in the spring. We’re looking forward to going back there this weekend for two nights of racing.”

Paul McMahan, Driver of the No. 91 Great Clips Maxim:

“I’m really looking forward to getting back to the Grove. I think we had a pretty good race car there last time and just got caught up in that big wreck on the first lap. I’m looking forward to getting over there and hopefully the Great Clips car is as good there as it’s been the last few weeks. Qualifying is important anywhere we go nowadays, but it’s most definitely important at Williams Grove. They have a great caliber of cars there. They have 15 or 20 guys that can win a race and we have our 15 or so guys that can win a race. It’s a tough crowd to go into, especially with it being on their turf.”

Jason Meyers, Driver of the No. 14 GLR Investments KPC

“We’re still looking for that win at Williams Grove for Charlie Garrett who builds our motors, who is from out there and that is his home track. We’re looking forward to hopefully getting that this trip. The rivalry certainly exists among the fans, and as a driver it’s certainly one of the most competitive areas that we go into. It’s a tough place and a very important place to run well at and be consistent. We’ve run pretty good there the last few years, though we had not so good of a visit the first time this year. We’re looking forward to going back and recouping that.”

Joey Saldana, Driver of the No. 9 Budweiser Maxim:

“That place is definitely qualifying oriented and if you don’t qualify well you don’t race well. It seems like the last three times we have been there, we have qualified a lot better. I think as long as we can keep our qualifying effort going, we can hopefully race better than we have in the past there. The fans definitely make the PA Posse into an event in itself with the Outlaws versus the Posse. You can’t knock Knoxville (Raceway) or Chico (Silver Dollar Speedway) or Eldora (Speedway). There are a lot of other places that have good 410-sprint car racing with good equipment. It just seems they don’t have the fan following behind them like PA does, so you hear about those guys a lot more.”

Donny Schatz, Driver of the No. 15 Armor All/STP J&J:

“It’s a level of respect that you have to learn for that race track and I’ve been lucky to have learned it. When I started going there I did bad and actually hated it. It’s one of those places that now I look forward to going to. No matter how good or bad my car is, I feel like I am in a good position to win when we go to that place the way we run around there. It’s fun for me and I have a lot of friends up there and a lot of people I enjoy seeing. It’s a fun place to go and we look forward to getting out there in the summer. Rain has kind of plagued it the last couple of times we have been there, so hopefully we can keep that way too and have a great weekend and try to win the Summer Nationals.

“It means a lot to the fans so it is important. We don’t get too much wrapped up in it. They do have some great racers, but there are great racers out here as well. It’s just that camaraderie and you have to be loyal to your part of the country and defend your part of the country. That’s what it boils down to and you can’t blame them for that. If there were that many guys racing in North Dakota, I’d be the same way and we’d just called them the “North Dakota Posse.” It’s a neat deal and something that has had a lot of hype over the years. We don’t just set our sights on beating the Posse when we go out there. We want to win every night and we’ll try to do that.”

Jason Sides, Driver of the No. 7S Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim:

“It’s definitely a tough track and one where it pays to have a lot of laps at and someone that races there all the time. We have struggled there recently, so if we can make the features and not have to use a provisional it will be a good weekend for us. That’s one of those places where those guys run it so much and we don’t run it very much that it’s a different type of atmosphere and everyone that runs there weekly has an advantage on us.”

Lucas Wolfe, Driver of the No. 5W Allebach Racing Maxim:

“I’m happy to get back there. We were good earlier this year there so hopefully we can have the same kind of results when we go back this time. The guys there run very well and run quite a few races there and are very competitive. It’s a tough challenge and its fun to go back there and race those guys, since we don’t get to race them very often. They’ve had the upper hand here lately and hopefully I can be the one that changes that.”

 

Lance Dewease & Joey Saldana Split Twin 30’s While Donny Schatz Claims Overall Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Title

Sarver, PA-July 20, 2010- Lance Dewease and Joey Saldana won the battles on Tuesday night at Lernerville Speedway in the Twin 30's, while it was Donny Schatz, who won the war, claiming the overall title in the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup before a very large crowd at the historic high-banked four-tenths-mile. Schatz won the Silver Cup in 2006 and 2007, making him just the third driver to win the Silver Cup three times.

For Dewease, the win marked his first at Lernerville Speedway, while for Saldana it was his second career triumph at the track. Dewease made his debut at Lernerville in 1988 and had made nearly 30 starts at the track entering the Silver Cup, with his previous best finish being a runner-up performance with the World of Outlaws in 2003. The $15,000 win made Dewease the 14th different driver to score a victory in a main event with the World of Outlaws this season and was the sixth of his career with the series.

"I'm so happy to finally win at Lernerville," shared Dewease. "Don Martin was one of the best promoter's ever and to win his race means a lot to me. We always enjoy coming over and have had some good runs before and some not so good. I'm just proud of my entire team. This feels great."

Saldana's win, also earned him $15,000, and was his series leading 10th of the season and the 69th of his career, putting him just one victory shy of becoming the eighth driver all-time to win at least 70 A-Feature events.

"I'll take it," said Saldana in Victory Lane. "We started fourth and got the win. This is a track we have usually struggled at and to have two decent runs was pretty good. We should have had a Top-Five in the first one and got spun out and came back to 11th."

Schatz used a runner-up finish in the first Twin-30 coupled with a fourth-place effort in the finale, coming from the 13th starting spot to claim the overall event title, which went to the driver that had the best average finish in the two features. The four-time and defending series champion was one of just two drivers that finished in the Top-Five in both events, with Jason Meyers being the other. Schatz started 13th in the second race and charged into the Top-Five by the 12th lap of the 30-lap contest. He earned the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award in the finale.

"It's always special to win anything out here, whether it's a race or a title or an event title like this tonight," noted the North Dakota native. "It's good to know that we were in contention in both race and able to run strong enough in them to pick this up. We always enjoy coming to Lernerville and usually run pretty decent here as well."

Dewease started fourth on Tuesday night in the first Twin-30 aboard the Advanced Development Services Maxim and jumped into second on the opening lap, following a yellow and a red flag that led to two complete restarts to open the race. After pole sitter Dale Blaney opened an early lead, Dewease tracked him back down as the pair was in heavy lapped traffic on the eighth circuit. He took the lead for the first time on the 11th lap, diving under Blaney coming off turn four. Blaney charged back by on the very next lap on the high side of turn four to reclaim the top spot.

On the 24th lap Dewease again used the low side of turn four to get by Blaney for the lead and ultimately the win. Blaney would end up pulling off the track while running second with two laps to go after running out of fuel. Dewease began the night by turning the quickest lap of the 38 cars that to the speedway.

"We could run all over the place in the first feature," explained Dewease. "We started running the middle and shortened up the track on Dale (Blaney) a bit and was really able to get off (the corner). We passed him three different times and that didn't last because the caution came out put him in front of me. He's a very good competitor and gets going good when it gets slick. I'm just happy we had a good race car all night."

The final two laps of the race saw a red flag and four cautions, with two consecutive green flag laps needed by way of rules to end the race, thus extending it to 32 circuits. Donny Schatz used a strong restart on the third-to-last restart to get around Jason Sides for second. He would finish in the runner-up position in the Armor All/STP J&J.

Sides ended up third in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim, with Paul McMahan fourth in the Great Clips Maxim. Jason Meyers came from 11 th to finish fifth in the GLR Investments KPC, with Craig Dollansky sixth in the Big Game Treestands Maxim. Sam Hafertepe Jr. was seventh in the Lone Star Speedway Maxim, with Danny Lasoski eighth, piloting the Casey's General Stores JEI. Sammy Swindell was ninth in the Big Game Treestands Maxim with Tim Shaffer rounding out the Top-10 aboard the Kistler Engines J&J.

The second Twin-30 saw Tyler Walked lead the first five laps from the drop of the green, before he spun on the sixth lap. Brian Ellenberger restarted on the pole, with Saldana diving under him entering turn one. The current World of Outlaws point leader, who earned the Goodyear Mid-season championship on Tuesday night, would lead the remainder of the 30-lapper. He chose the high side each and every time on the four double file restarts that ensued while he was out front in the Budweiser Maxim.

"We tightened the car up quite a bit from the first one and were still quite a bit loose," Saldana said after winning the finale. "We just worked on the car and got a good result. The crew worked hard as always."

Craig Dollansky came home second in the finale, with Meyers third, Schatz fourth and McMahan fifth. Jason Sides was sixth with Sammy Swindell one spot behind him. Sam Hafertepe Jr. was eighth in the second Twin-30 to score his second Top-10 finish of the night, with Dewease ninth and Kraig Kinser rounding out the Top-10 in the Quaker State Maxim.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Friday, July 23 and Saturday, July 24 at Williams Grove Speedway in Pennsylvania for the Summer Nationals, which will pay $20,000 to win the finale.

Previewing the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30’s at Lernerville Speedway

Sarver, PA--July 19, 2010- Only one time this year will the best sprint car drivers in the world compete twice on the same night and that will be on Tuesday, July 20 at the famed Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania as the World of Outlaws take to the always racy four-tenths-mile for the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's. Each of the 30-lap races will pay $15,000 to-win, with it possible for one driver to score a $30,000 payday if they can win both portions of the event, which is the richest one-day show on the World of Outlaws calendar.

The finish of the first Twin 30 will determine the starting line-up for the finale, with the lead lap cars being inverted. Last season 19 cars were inverted for the second 30-lapper with a number of drivers working their way from the back of the field to the front.

Danny Lasoski battled Jason Sides late in the going in the opener of the Twin 30's last season to score the win, while Stevie Smith was victorious in the finale. Lasoski charged from 19th to seventh in the second Twin 30 to be crowned the overall winner of the Silver Cup, adding his name to an illustrious list of former winners.

The Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's continue the "Month of Money" for the World of Outlaws, which kicked off last Saturday night with the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway, with 20-time series champion Steve Kinser picking up the win. Kinser, who is currently second in points, just 12 markers behind Joey Saldana, as he chases his record 21st title, has won the Silver Cup twice in his legendary career and leads all World of Outlaws drivers at Lernerville with 17 wins.

Donny Schatz, the four-time and defending World of Outlaws champion, has two Silver Cup triumphs with those coming in 2006 and 2007. The North Dakota native, who is Kinser's teammate at Tony Stewart Racing, has won twice this year and is currently fourth in points.

Sammy Swindell, who won the inaugural Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup in 1992, and has three overall Silver Cups, will be in attendance as he looks to add to his two World of Outlaws wins this season. With Swindell being in action along with 1995 World of Outlaws champion Dave Blaney, that brings the number of past series champion that will be in action to a record- five.

A total of nine drivers have been victorious in the previous 18 Silver Cups, with Mother Nature claiming one victory. Mark Kinser, the two-time World of Outlaws champion leads all drivers with four triumphs in the event. Seven of the nine drivers that have won a Silver Cup will be in action on Tuesday, July 20 in the Twin 30's.

The Buzz:

· The Twin-30 lap format will be in effect, with the first race being a standard World of Outlaws event, while the second will be an inverted feature. Each will pay $15,000 to-win.

· A record five former World of Outlaws champions will be in action during the Silver Cup, led by Steve Kinser, along with Donny Schatz, Sammy Swindell, Danny Lasoski and Dave Blaney.

· Danny Lasoski became the ninth winner of the Silver Cup last season, following his win in the opener of the Twin 30's, which was his first career triumph at Lernerville.

· Steve Kinser heads to Lernerville with plenty of momentum having won the Kings Royal on Saturday night to earn his fifth win of 2010. He is currently second in points as he chases his record 21st title.

· Donny Schatz is one of just four drivers that has won the Silver Cup more than once. He looks to build on second and four-place runs at Eldora Speedway last weekend as the "Month of Money" continues.

· Joey Saldana, who leads the World of Outlaws in wins this season with nine, is seeking his first Silver Cup win. He is the track record holder at Lernerville, setting that mark in 2002.

· Jason Meyers, who won a couple of times at Lernerville also is seeking his first Silver Cup and has finished in the Top-10 in five of his last six starts at the track.

· Jac Haudenschild, who has won twice this season, is looking for his first World of Outlaws win at Lernerville. He has over 20 career Top-10 finishes with the series at the track.

· Brian Ellenberger, the defending Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year with the World of Outlaws has four career wins at Lernerville Speedway, which is his home track, including one earlier this season.

· Ben Gregg and Toni Lutar, who are competing for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award with the World of Outlaws this season, will both be making their first start at Lernerville Speedway in the Silver Cup.

· A strong contingent of drivers that have plenty of laps at Lernerville will also be in action including: Ed Lynch Jr. who won the Silver Cup in 2002 as well as Tim Shaffer who won it in 2005 and Dale Blaney who recently won the Brad Doty Classic.

World of Outlaws Wrap-up: Brad Doty Classic & Kings Royal Weekend

Concord, NC-July 19, 2010-

What a crowd: The 22nd edition of the Brad Doty Classic played to the largest crowd in Limaland Motorsports Park history last Wednesday on a perfect, sunny day at the ¼-mile bullring. Fans from far and wide began arriving in the early afternoon to make sure they got a good seat with the track always providing thrilling action. The event began with an autograph session under the pavilion that saw former winners Steve Kinser, Jac Haudenschild, Joey Saldana and Jason Meyers take part, along with Doty, who again helped promote the event this year.

"I'm really happy," shared Doty after the race. "That was the largest crowd we've ever had and a perfect day for it. It was a little warm, but all in all it was a great night. I can't be partial to any one driver I guess, but Dale (Blaney) is a great guy and he is the third two-time winner. The race has a lot of history to it and it was great to see Dale pull a win. We are already working on it for next year getting things lined up. I can't wait."

A second generation: Sheldon Haudenschild, Jac Haudenschild's son competed in the Brad Doty Classic and qualified for his first World of Outlaws main event. The younger Haudenschild raced for the first time with the series last season at Eldora, though he missed qualifying for the feature in that race. At Limaland Motorsports Park, he timed in 23rd in a very stout 47-car field. He followed that up with a fourth-place effort in the third heat race to earn a spot in the main event, where he lined up 19th.

First timer: Two-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart made his World of Outlaws debut in the Brad Doty Classic at Limaland Motorsports Park last Wednesday night. Stewart, who won for the first time in his career in a 410-winged sprint car last season, qualified 35th his first time out. He came up just one spot short in the third heat race of transferring to the main event and was one spot short of transferring from the C-Main into The Last Chance Showdown. He also competed on both night of the Kings Royal weekend at Eldora Speedway, which he owns, pulling double duty racing with the World of Outlaws and the NRA Sprint Invaders. He won both NRA features at the half-mile.

Making the trip west: Jonathan Allard and the Morrie Williams-owned team made the trip east from California to compete in the Brad Doty Classic and Kings Royal this past weekend. For California native it was his first trip to Limaland Motorsports Park. Allard and the team plan to continue to follow the World of Outlaws until the Gold Cup Race of Champions at his home track of Silver Dollar Speedway in California in September.

Star-studded heat race: The heat race on Friday night during the Knight Before the Kings Royal featured three current NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers, which marked the first time in World of Outlaws history that a heat race featured three current NASCAR Cup drivers, with Kasey Kahne starting on the pole of the heat, with Dave Blaney lining up fifth and Tony Stewart ninth. Kahne would go on to win the heat, while Stewart finished seventh and Blaney 12th. Blaney would work his way back through The Last Chance Showdown to qualify for the A-Feature.

Up close and personal: Fans got a chance to meet their favorite World of Outlaws drivers on Saturday afternoon prior to the Kings Royal as a huge autograph session was held in the Fan Zone at Eldora Speedway on a beautiful sunny and warm day. Fans began lining up well in advance of the 4 p.m. start time and a steady stream of hundreds of fans walked through the line to meet the drivers. In addition to the autograph session, the band Whiskey Road performed in the Fan Zone.

Charging hard: Jac Haudenschild came all the way from the 23rd starting spot last Friday night at Eldora Speedway to finish sixth in the Knight Before the Kings Royal. The Hall of Famer was caught up in a second-lap accident that sent him to the work area. He restarted the race at the tail of the field and quickly began to charge back through the field. He as up to 13th just two laps later and continues his charge to the front on his way to picking up the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award for the sixth-place effort.

Hard Luck award : Chad Kemenah received the Chizmark & Larson Insurance Hard Luck Award on Friday night at Eldora Speedway, after sustaining significant damage to the rear end of his machine from a push truck as they attempted to the push off for the A-Feature, which prevented him from taking the green flag. The Ohio native was slated to line up in the 12th row of the feature, but unfortunately was not able to answer the bell. Mike Larson presented the $100 bonus to Kemenah following the race.

Two more quick times: Paul McMahan continues to be the leading qualifier with the World of Outlaws in 2010, setting fast time both nights at Eldora Speedway over the weekend, to pick up his eighth and ninth quick time honors of the season. No other driver has been fastest in time trials more than four times other than McMahan, who earned five bonus points in the World of Outlaws standings each night at Eldora for being fastest in time trials. He has earned more qualifying bonus points than any other driver this season.

A career-best run: Greg Wilson finished fifth in the Kings Royal on Saturday night to match his best-career World of Outlaws finish. The Ohio native lined up 19 th and steadily worked his way to the front. He opened the week with a very solid ninth-place effort in the Brad Doty Classic at Limaland Motorsports Park, an event he also finished fifth in under the World of Outlaws banner in 2005 when it was held at Attica Raceway Park.

Hard charger: Chad Kemenah rebounded from the bad luck that plagued him on Friday night at Eldora Speedway to work his way from the 23rd starting spot to a ninth-place finish in the Kings Royal to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award. The veteran was up to sixth at one point before the caution flag flew leading to a double file restart. For Kemenah, it was his seventh Top-10 finish of the season.

On the air: Steve Kinser, who won the Kings Royal for the record seventh time, will make an appearance on The Race Reporters with host Michael Knight this Wednesday, July 21 at 7 p.m. Eastern online at The Power Up Motorsports Channel. Knight will be joined for the journalists' roundtable by Jim Chiappelli, the News Director at SPEED and Keith Waltz, of National Speed Sport News. The Race Reporters can be heard "live," downloaded into an iPod, or accessed for listening on a delayed basis by clicking on the show icon at www.PowerUpChannel.com.

Hard Luck II: Sam Hafertepe Jr. received the Chizmark and Larson Insurance Hard Luck Award on Saturday night in the Kings Royal, following a lap-20 accident in turn four that ended his night. The native of Sunnyvale, Texas, who started the race third, charged into the second spot in the early going and was running seventh at the time of the incident. Mike Larson presented the $100 bonus to Hafertepe following the race.

Builders Get Jump on 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Cars with 33-Gallon Tanks

CONCORD, N.C. - July 18, 2010 - A unique gathering of chassis builders met in June at Knoxville Raceway to discuss the design and construction of Sprint Cars, to talk about recent changes to the cars, and how modifications from wings to tires have affected them.

The greatest minds in chassis construction also considered the direction of racing, and how to build cars flexible enough to meet the ever-changing demands of the sport. For instance, beginning in 2011, it has already been announced a 33-gallon fuel cell will be mandatory for full-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series teams. For chassis design and construction, knowing far in advance will help to eliminate issues when cars are being prepared to kick off the 2011 season at Florida's Volusia Speedway Park.

"The chassis builders meeting was a very interesting and intense experience, and I look forward to following up that gathering with the annual Sprint Car Summit this week in Pittsburgh" said World Racing Group President Tom Deery. "The passion for constructing Sprint Cars that are safe as ever but can still give their teams an edge is clearly evident. Each constructor has strong beliefs as to what makes a good, safe car, and each constructor wants to be part of the process, push the rules to the limit. Giving them as much knowledge as possible in advance, especially considering the 33-gallon tank that will be required in 2011, is critical to making sure each team has what it needs to be competitive at the start of next season."

While the cars might look similar when sitting in the stands, close inspection reveals customization from each builder and team. By the World Finals in November at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, several teams will no doubt be testing equipment to make a championship run in 2011. Knowing as many updates as possible now will make it that much easier to find success when the green flag waves in February.

Another Crown for Steve Kinser: Wins Seventh Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway

Rossburg, OH-July 17, 2010- There is only one driver in the storied history of the Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway that has competed in each and every edition of the famed classic and just one driver that has made the main event in each and every one. This driver has won the Kings Royal more times than anyone, has more Top-Five finishes in the race than anyone else, as well as Top-10's. That driver is 20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser, who holds every major record associated with the event. He added to his legacy in the Kings Royal on Saturday night, claiming the $50,000 win over Kerry Madsen.

Kinser has now won the Kings Royal a record seven times in his illustrious career. It was his first victory at Eldora Speedway driving for Tony Stewart, who is also the owner of Eldora and was on-hand at the half-mile all weekend. After nearly taking the lead from Kerry Madsen on a double file restart with three laps to go, Kinser had one final shot at the big payday and used a textbook slide job in turn one to take the top spot and ultimately the win, which was his fifth of 2010. The cameras from SPEED were rolling to capture of the action for broadcast on August 7.

"It feels good to win one for Tony Stewart Racing and Bass Pro Shops," said Kinser in Victory Lane. "I know that Donny (Schatz) has won a few for them. It was a lot of fun to get out there and win it tonight. Kerry (Madsen) ran a great race and I hated to get into him on the last night, but you have to go for it when you can go for it. I just really enjoy getting to run at Eldora."

Following a caution on the 22nd lap, the next 15 circuits went green, putting the leaders in heavy lapped traffic as the laps wound down. With 10 to go, Kinser had tracked Madsen back down and tagged the wall a couple of times, nearly taking the lead at a few different points on the track.

"I was reeling him in pretty fast and got into the wall on the front stretch and got right back on him and got into the wall on the back chute or I was going to go by him, explained the winner. "I was catching him pretty quick and messed up both times. I got a third chance, so I guess it ended up all right."

Kinser lined up on the inside of the track on all but one of the double file restarts on Saturday night. The one time he lined up on the outside, he was in front of the field. He was very strong on the last three double file restarts of the race, keeping right with Madsen and nearly taking the lead a couple of times in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim.

"It was hard to do and the last one I got it timed just about right and got a good run off the bottom to get him," noted Kinser of restarting on the bottom.

Kerry Madsen led 27 laps en route to his best career finish in the Kings Royal, a second-place effort aboard the Hall Haulage KPC. He took the lead from Kinser on the 12th lap with a slide job in turn four. Kinser nearly retook the top spot as the pair had a drag race down the front straightaway, with Madsen leading by just a touch at the line to officially be scored the leader. Madsen blasted to the high side in turn two on the next lap and quickly began to pull away.

"I'm just disappointed," Madsen admitted. "The car was unreal, how good it was. Sonny Kratzer just gave me a dream car tonight. We were pretty close to getting a Kings Royal win and we just didn't get that last restart right and Steve (Kinser) got in front of me. We had a quicker car, but two laps wasn't enough to get back by him. We'll have to deal with second here tonight, but I am very proud of this team."

Danny Lasoski made a charge at the end of the race to finish third in the Casey's General Store JEI. He started on the front row of the main event after winning the fifth heat race of the night, with the six heat finishers starting first through sixth in the feature, through an inversion. Lasoski fell back to ninth on the 10th lap of the 40-lapper, before working his way back to the front.

"We put a little harder tires on than everyone else and just had no idea they would spin as much as they did during the first 20 (laps)," noted Lasoski. "We had a couple of cautions go our way that bunched the field back up in open track. We were able to run the 3 and the 11 cars back down and we had a really good car. We just couldn't finish he deal. "

Madsen was in the lead for four caution and red flag periods, choosing the high side of the track each time for the double file restarts. Over the two nights of racing at Eldora, the leaders chose the high side of the half-mile most of the time for the double file restarts.

"I was getting such good restarts there," shared the native of St. Mary's, NSW, Australia. "I knew the gloves were going to come off on that last restart. You get such a good run coming off (turn) four and it worked every time. We just didn't get it done on that last restart. It was exciting, but unfortunately we were second. We'll just go on from here."

Danny Lasoski had one of the fastest cars on the track over the last 15 circuits working his way into the Top-Five and then battling Kinser and Madsen for the lead. On a couple of restarts the trio nearly got three-wide as they charged into turn one with Lasoski diving in the middle of the track as he sought his first Kings Royal win.

"I had to go where they weren't," said the native of Dover, Missouri of the final restart. "I knew pretty much what they were going to do. I was about three foot short of clearing them both with the slide (job)."

Donny Schatz, who won the Kings Royal in 2009, came home fourth in the Armor All /STP J&J. Greg Wilson scored his best-career Kings Royal, coming fifth in the All Star Plumbing Maxim. Sammy Swindell was sixth in the Big Game Treestands Maxim, with Tim Shaffer seventh in the Kistler Engines J&J. Ed Lynch Jr. was eighth in the Howard Concrete J&J. Chad Kemenah came all the way from 23rd to finish ninth to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award. Tim Kaeding rounded out the Top-10 in the DTR Transport KPC.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Tuesday, July 20 at Lernerville Speedway in Pennsylvania for the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's, which will be highlighted by two 30-lap A-Feature events, paying $15,000 a piece to win.

World of Outlaws Fast Talkers: Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30’s at Lernerville Speedway

Sarver, PA-July 18, 2010- Prior to heading to the historic Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania for the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's, each of the 16 drivers competing full-time with the World of Outlaws, shared their thoughts on the prestigious event that will be contested on Tuesday, July 20. The Silver Cup will again be highlighted by Twin 30-lap A-Feature events this year, with $15,000 going to the winner of each segment, with it being possible for one driver to pocket $30,000 if they sweep both ends of the race, which is the richest single-day event on the World of Outlaws calendar and the only time all season that fans will have the chance to see two main events in a single night. Danny Lasoski and Stevie Smith each won last during the Silver Cup, with Lasoski being crowned the overall champion of the event, after charging from 19th to seventh in the finale, which was lined up by an inversion of the lead lap finishers from the opener.

Craig Dollansky, Driver of the No. 7 Big Game Treestands Maxim:

"It's always been a traditional big event that they have had there and one that we always look forward to. It's brought a new element to the event having double features and I think it went pretty well last year. It must have turned out pretty good since they are doing it again this year. Anything we can do for the fans to put on a good show is great. That's a racy track and the folks up there do a great job, so we are really looking forward to it."

Brian Ellenberger, Driver of the No. 22 Ti-22 Performance JEI:

"I can't wait to get back there. We've gotten to run over there a couple of times this year and feel like we have a car that can get around there very nice. It's in my backyard. I can't wait to get home. What's better than two features in the same night? As a driver and the crew, being able to go out and run the first feature and then it comes down to being able to set that car up. The guys that are good at that will certainly be able to make the changes for the second feature. We have two shots at it and two is better than one."

Ben Gregg, Driver of the No. 2B Kronik Energy Maxim:

"That's a track I am really looking forward to seeing and getting to race at. They talk about it a lot and it has a lot of history and we're anxious to get over there. I'm sure we'll have to do a few things different, but we really won't know until we get there and check out the track. We love racing and anytime you can race more rather than less, we are all for it. It should be a fun event and one that the fans really enjoy."

Sam Hafertepe Jr., Driver of the No. 15H Lone Star Speedway Maxim:

"We've been fast there in years past. We had some technical difficulties last year and didn't make the show because we didn't get a lap in qualifying. We were pretty fast and just missed it by a little bit. I'm looking forward to going back this year. It kind of depends how you are running at the end of the first one to determine what you need to do in the second. If you are in the back of the first one, then you'll be in a good spot in the second one. If you are up front in the first one that means you are pretty fast should have a good chance in the second one as well."

Jac Haudenschild, Driver of the No. R19 Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX:

"We like Lernerville and are looking forward to it. We ran second there last year. Lernerville is a nice track and is usually pretty racy. We always like going back there. They split it up for the fans and the fans seem to like it. Hopefully we can do good in both races. We're looking forward to going up there."

Chad Kemenah: Driver of the No. 63 Golden Flavor Sesame Sticks Maxim:

"Lernerville is a really neat race track and usually a great show for the fans. Hopefully we can have a good run over there and over the next few weeks. We have to get things turned around. You try to win every one you get into. The guys that ended up in the back of the first one ran up front in the second. We all try to win every race that we get into, so it will probably be the same."

Kraig Kinser, Driver of the No. 11K Quaker State Maxim:

"Lernerville is always a good track to race at and they have a lot of good competition there. It's a fun track to drive on. It's a tricky and there are a lot of big races that are there and have been there in the past. It's pretty much the start of a big month and a half for us and you want to be working good and running good over the next few weeks. Hopefully everything works well for us. Sprint car guys, we want to race as much as we can, so getting to race twice in the same night is great. We love what we do and it's a pleasure to get put on two shows in one night and it's special for the fans as well."

Steve Kinser, Driver of the No. 11 Bass Pro Shops Maxim:

"Don Martin was a great guy and treated everyone that came through there very well. He made everyone feel welcome and was a super nice guy. It's a little bit different format, but other than that, you still have to be prepared and have a fast race car. It will be the first time at Lernerville with the new tires, but we've been running them everyone else, so we'll see if some of the things we are doing now and have done there in the past are compatible with the track."

Danny Lasoski, Driver of the No. 6 Casey's General Store JEI:

"The Silver Cup is definitely one we'll always cherish. Don Martin was such a great promoter and a great person, so to win that thing will always hold a special place to me. Gary Risch and his people do a fantastic job over there now. We always look forward to going to Lernerville and especially the Silver Cup. It's pretty neat for the fans to get to see two races in one night. Lernerville is a very unique track and they always have the surface prepared well. You can race the top, the middle and the bottom. There are always multiple grooves. Last year we had our car working pretty good over there."

Toni Lutar, Driver of the No. 4X Northwest Used Auto Parts KPC:

"I've never been there and have heard it's a pretty fast place. I'm looking forward to going over there. That will definitely be a fun event, getting to race twice in the same night. The more racing, the better and the fans enjoy it as well. I've done double features in the past so I kind of know what to expect. I'm just looking forward to going to Lernerville. It will be fun."

Paul McMahan, Driver of the No. 91 Great Clips Maxim:

"This will be the first time I'll be part of the two features. It's a good thing for the fans and that's the main thing. It's all about the fans and they enjoy it, so we have to do things like to keep them coming back. We're looking forward to it and you would like to win both of them. If you can go out and win both races starting wherever in the first one and in the back in the second one, it will be one of a heck of a show for the fans. I'm looking forward to it and it's that time of the year. It's the "Month of Money" and time to get busy."

Jason Meyers, Driver of the No. 14 GLR Investments KPC

"The fans enjoyed it last year and it's a great event. Lernerville is a great race track and we always enjoy going up there. We used to go up there a lot more and I wish we still did. We still have a couple of shows there a year and always look forward to that. With the different format, it kind of depends on what the race track does. You gear up for the first race since that's the one that pays the points and then you have to see where you finish that one for how the second one will shape up."

Joey Saldana, Driver of the No. 9 Budweiser Maxim:

"As a sprint car driver, that's definitely one of the big five races you want to have on your resume. I've been close there, but never really good enough to say I had a shot at winning that race. Hopefully this year we can go to Lernerville and put a good showing in. With the format of two features, you have to run good in two of them not just one. Hopefully we make the right adjustments and run up front and win that Don Martin Silver Cup."

Donny Schatz, Driver of the No. 15 Armor All/STP J&J:

"I have always enjoyed racing there. Mother Nature has played a role in things up there the last several years, so hopefully it's sunny and the rain stays away and we can have a great event. You have to make sure you are on top of everything and make sure that everything is as fresh as fresh can be especially the motor, since you don't have time between the features to really look everything over. It changes things a little bit."

Jason Sides, Driver of the No. 7S Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim:

"Those twin races like that are pretty neat. It's something different for the fans and they really enjoy it. Anytime we can do something like that, makes for a run and exciting night for everyone. You really don't have to do anything different. We just have to keep (Danny) Lasoski behind us. He took it from us last year and we ran second. Then we started at the back in the other race and he was able to get up through there a little better than we were. We'll see how it goes this year."

Lucas Wolfe, Driver of the No. 5W Allebach Racing Maxim:

"It's a big paying race and it's not far from home so a lot of family can come out and see the race. We don't get to race at Lernerville that much anymore, so it's always good to go over there and any tracks that are close to home. It's a unique format and it worked out pretty well last year and offers a lot of racing for everybody. Hopefully we'll be good in both of them."

 

Joey Saldana Scores First LaCrosse Footwear Extreme Tough Challenge Victory at Eldora Speedway

ROSSBURG, OH - July 16, 2010 - Joey Saldana, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series overall points leader, earned his first LaCrosse Footwear Extreme Tough Challenge victory Friday night at Eldora Speedway, holding off Donny Schatz and Paul McMahan at the intimidating half-mile legendary oval.

The victory moved Saldana to within two points of Extreme Tough Challenge points leader Shane Clanton of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. Schatz, Steve Kinser and Lucas Wolfe added to their totals in the Extreme Tough Challenge while McMahan scored his first points in the mini-series that concludes in November at the World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.

"You have to be consistent in all of the races to have a shot at winning it," said Saldana, of Brownsburg, Ind. "It's the same situation as we're in with Steve Kinser right now for the overall World of Outlaws points. We just have to keep doing what we're doing and do the best job we can."

Clanton has earned the most points in two of the three World of Outlaws Late Model Series Extreme Tough Challenge events. Through six events (three Late Model races, three Sprint Car races), 17 different drivers have earned points.

The Extreme Tough Challenge features 16 overall events - eight per series - where drivers who are competing full-time in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series or the World of Outlaws Late Model Series earn points toward the championship, which will be decided at the World of Outlaws World Finals in November at The Dirt Track at Charlotte. The top five finishers no matter the series will share a $15,000 point fund, and the winning driver will receive the Extreme Tough Challenge champion trophy.

Also, at each Extreme Tough Challenge event, LaCrosse will distribute keepsake posters as well as provide hat and t-shirt giveaways. Fans can get involved at every race through a unique Extreme Tough competition with the chance to win a pair of LaCrosse boots.

Back on Top: Joey Saldana Wins Knight Before Kings Royal & Retakes World of Outlaws Point Lead

Rossburg, OH-July 16, 2010- After a couple of frustrating races that saw him have some bad luck and fall to second in the World of Outlaws championship standings, Joey Saldana got back on track in a big way on Friday night, scoring the win in the Knight Before the Kings Royal at the famed Eldora Speedway in Ohio and retaking the top spot in the standings as well.

The $10,000 win was Saldana's series leading ninth of the 2010 campaign and his 18th career triumph at Eldora, with nine of those coming in World of Outlaws events. With the victory, Saldana moved into sole possession of eighth-place on the all-time World of Outlaws win list with 68 A-Feature wins.

Saldana lined up second with Lucas Wolfe leading the field into turn one, before he blasted around the high side of turn two to take the top spot and quickly jumped out to a comfortable lead in the Budweiser Maxim.

"We worked hard and it was a great effort by everyone," said Saldana. "This is the motor we should have won Lakeside (Speedway) with and I destroyed it. Rick Long with Speedway Engines worked really hard to get it back to us. There are a lot of people that helped us to get this motor back for this weekend and I can't thank them enough for getting us an engine that can compete and win these races."

Saldana was out front during two yellow flag and one red flag period on Friday night. He chose the high side of the track on each restart and charged into turns one and two to quickly open a lead. He would pace all 30 circuits to score his second win of the season at Eldora Speedway.

"I've seen this place so many times throughout the years just from watching and the top is faster," shared the winner. "It seems like if you can get momentum faster than the next guy you'll be ok. This track is definitely a momentum place and its fun when it's like that, but it's still pretty tough to drive."

During a long green flag stretch that lasted 25 laps, following a third lap caution, Saldana set a blistering pace around the high side of the legendary high-banked half-mile and wound up lapping up to the 12th-place finisher. He looks for the track to be a little bit different tomorrow for the 27th Annual Kings Royal, an even he has won twice in his career.

"The track was pretty treacherous on the cushion tonight and I don't think they'll let it be like that tomorrow," noted Saldana. "They'll probably make it slicker so it's more even for everybody. I was told there were a lot of lapped cars between us tonight. We'll just have to wait and see. We learned a lot tonight and I know that lapped traffic will be very tough tomorrow. We'll see what happens tomorrow."

Donny Schatz used a strong double file restart with three laps to go, to take second from Paul McMahan. He would end up in the runner-up spot aboard the Armor All/STP J&J. The four-time and defending series champion started third and fell back to fifth on the opening lap. He then worked his way by Jason Sides for fourth, before tracking down Lucas Wolfe for third with just four laps remaining and then McMahan.

"We got better as the race went on and that's all you can ask for," Schatz said. "Tomorrow is 40 laps and that's like another whole race. I'm just glad to get a second-place finish tonight. The Armor All guys did a great job and we learned a lot. Hopefully we can come back tomorrow and be better."

Paul McMahan continued his strong summer coming home third in the Great Clips Maxim to earn his 14th Top-Five finish of the season. He started fourth and charged past Donny Schatz on the opening lap, before getting by Lucas Wolfe on the second lap. He was running second on the final restart with three laps to go and lined up on the low side of the track.

"I don't think I had anything for Joey (Saldana)," McMahan said. "I spun the tires on that restart and it was just a mistake on my part. It was a great night for KKR and everyone involved with this team. This is five straight Top-Fives and hopefully we can move up a couple of spots tomorrow and get that 50-grand."

Steve Kinser ended up fourth in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim to earn his series leading 35th Top-10 finish of the season. Lucas Wolfe was fifth in the Allebach Racing Maxim. Jac Haudenschild came all the way from the 23rd starting spot to finish sixth in the Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX. He was caught up in a second lap incident which sent him to the work area and then stormed back through the field.

Dale Blaney was seventh in the Ti-22 Performance Maxim, with Jason Sides eighth piloting the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim. Craig Dollansky was ninth in the Big Game Treestands Maxim, with Daryn Pittman rounding out the Top-10 in the Indy Race Parts Eagle.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Saturday, July 17 with the 27h Annual Kings Royal at the famed Eldora Speedway which will again pay $50,000 to-win. The cameras from SPEED will be on hand to capture all of the action for broadcast on August 7.

World of Outlaws Point Leader Steve Kinser to Appear on Wind Tunnel on SPEED this Sunday

Concord, NC-July 16, 2010- Steve Kinser, the current World of Outlaws points leader and 20-time series champion, will join host Dave Despain on Wind Tunnel on SPEED this Sunday, July 18 at 9 p.m. Eastern.

The Hall of Famer recently took over the lead in the series standings after a runner-up finish in the Brad Doty Classic, as he chases his record 21 st title and holds a four-point lead over Joey Saldana heading into the Kings Royal weekend at the famed Eldora Speedway in Ohio. Kinser is a six-time winner of the Kings Royal which leads all drivers, and has competed in each and every one of the previous 26 Kings Royal events, qualifying for the main event in the finale each time.

Rossburg, Ohio--July 15, 2010- The history, aura and prestige of the Kings Royal at the legendary Eldora Speedway in Ohio is second to none and that tradition continues to grow each and every year. Another chapter will be added to the famed event this weekend as the World of Outlaws will take part in the storied classic with $50,000 awaiting the winner along with the crown, robe and scepter. The list of winners of the Kings Royal is a "Who's Who" of Sprint Car Racing, with five drivers that have won World of Outlaws titles winning the event, along with four Hall of Famers.

The Kings Royal weekend kicks off on Friday, July 16 with the Knight Before the Kings Royal, which is a full racing program, followed by the 27 th Annual Kings Royal on Saturday, with the cameras from SPEED capturing all of the action of the finale for broadcast on Saturday, August 7.

Steve Kinser, the 20-time World of Outlaws champion, who has won the Kings Royal a record six times, leads the series into Eldora Speedway after taking the lead in the championship standings on Wednesday night following a runner-up finish in the Brad Doty Classic at Limaland Motorsports Park. Kinser won the first Kings Royal in 1984 and followed that up with victories in the famed event in 1988, 1991, 1997, 2003 and 2005. The living legend is the only driver that has made the A-Feature at each and every one of the 26 previous Kings Royal events and has finished on the podium 15 times to lead all drivers in the event.

Donny Schatz, the four-time and defending World of Outlaws champion, is the reigning winner of the Kings Royal, scoring his second win in the crown jewel event last season. He wore the purple robe for the first time in 2007. The North Dakota native, who drives for Eldora Speedway owner Tony Stewart's team, has five career wins at the half-mile.

Joey Saldana, who leads the World of Outlaws with eight victorious this season including one earlier in the year at Eldora, is also a two-time winner of the Kings Royal. He sat on the throne in Victory Lane for the first time in 2002 and was victorious again in 2006. The second generation driver has seven overall wins with the World of Outlaws at Eldora in his career.

Jason Sides, who has won three times this season and is currently fifth in points, made history in 2004 winning the Kings Royal to score his first career World of Outlaws A-Feature win, making him the only driver in the history of the series to accomplish that feat. He won at Eldora last fall.

Sammy Swindell, who has won the Kings Royal three times will also be in action this weekend, along with Dave Blaney who has won the event twice and his brother Dale who was victorious in the 2000 Kings Royal.

The Buzz:

· A record number of former winners of the Kings Royal will be in action this weekend, with the addition of 1995 World of Outlaws champion Dave Blaney, bringing the number of drivers that have worn the crown and robe to nine.

In a League of His Own: Dale Blaney Victorious In Brad Doty Classic at Limaland Motorsports Park

Lima, OH-July 14, 2010- Growing up in Ohio, Dale Blaney looked up to Brad Doty as he had the chance to watch the Hall of Famer race numerous times over the years in their home state. While Blaney never got to race against him, he watched his brother compete against Doty and gained a great respect for the fellow Ohio native. Blaney, who has won some big races in his career, added another to that list on Wednesday night as he was victorious in The 22nd Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by Racing Optics at Limaland Motorsports Park in front of the largest crowd in the track's storied history.

For Blaney, it was his second win in the Brad Doty Classic, though his first with the event being under the World of Outlaws sanction and first since the event was moved to Limaland Motorsports Park, where he has won a number of times in his career. The victory on Wednesday night was worth $10,000 to the native of Hartford, Ohio and was his fifth with the World of Outlaws.

"This is awesome," said Blaney. "I won this race a long, long time ago when it was an All Star race at Attica (Raceway Park). I've been in contention here a couple of times and ran a couple of times in the Top-10. I love this place when it gets like this, slick, with a little cushion, a little bottom and a little middle. I've made more laps than probably most everybody at this place, so that was crucial. This is a very special win."

Blaney started on the pole in the Ti-22 Performance Maxim after winning the dash and beat fellow front row starter Kraig Kinser into turn one at the drop of the green. He quickly began to pull away when the first caution of the night flew on the sixth lap. The veteran was out front for two cautions and one red flag, choosing the low side of the ¼-mile bullring each time on the double file restarts. On a lap-20 restart, Paul McMahan inched ahead of Blaney in turn one, though Blaney blasted back by him in turn two and was credited with officially leading that lap and all 40 circuits on the night.

"I was looking for some help on the last one, whether I should go to the top," explained the winner. "It made it easier when I saw (Jason) Sides beside me, because I didn't know who was there and it made it a little easier of a choice. I knew someone would throw one at me in turn one and I just tried to diamond off and get into (turn) two as quick as I could. As long as I left (turn) two in the lead, I felt pretty good."

Blaney looks to carry the momentum from his win in the Brad Doty Classic into this weekend's King Royal at Eldora Speedway, where he is a former winner of that famed event with the World of Outlaws. He has won a World of Outlaws event in each of the last two seasons in his home state of Ohio.

"This leads into a big, huge month and a half of awesome racing," shared Blaney. "It gives us a little momentum going into this weekend. I have always run well over there at Eldora (Speedway) and hopefully we can follow this up with a couple of good runs over there. If the car is as good over there as it was tonight, we'll be a player."

Steve Kinser got around Jason Sides on the last lap on Wednesday night to take the second position in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim, after the pair had a spirited battle. The 20-time series champion also challenged Paul McMahan for a number of laps earlier in the race for third. Kinser used the runner-up finish, which was his series-leading 34th Top-10 finish of the year to take over the lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings by four points over Joey Saldana, who finished 17th, as he chases his record 21st title.

"I stuck myself too much in the middle and kept thinking I was going to come in and work better than everybody else," noted Kinser. "Finally I climbed on the top when the (No) 91 showed it back to me, and started driving around those guys, but I would have had to have found it earlier. I should have gone up there and tried it earlier, that's my fault. I'm not going to complain, but I sure would have liked to have won it."

Jason Sides wound up third in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim to match his best career finish at Limaland Motorsports Park. He got around Kraig Kinser at the start to move into third and then battled Paul McMahan for a number of laps for second.

"I probably should have stayed in the middle line that I was running and I thought we found something on the bottom and could get to (Dale) Blaney there and I left the middle open for Steve (Kinser) and he came charging," said Sides. "To get beat by those two guys isn't too bad, but I wanted to win it starting up toward the front. Maybe next year."

After qualifying 32nd, Kinser found himself starting eighth in the fourth heat. He charged all the way to a second-place finish in that 10-lap contest to earn a spot in the dash, where he would finish seventh to pick up a fourth row starting spot in the feature. He got around Jessica Zemken on the second lap of the main event to move into sixth and then passed his son Kraig on the sixth circuit to move into the Top-Five. He then battled Danny Lasoski for fourth before working on McMahan and Sides.

"That definitely made a bunch of the night right there or I would have had to have started way at the back," he stated of the heat race finish. "That saved our night."

Sides did everything he could late in the race to try and track down Blaney. He was able to keep pace with him on a couple of restarts, but once the race got going again, Blaney would pull away each and every time, both in open track and in lapped traffic. The native of Bartlett, Tennessee opened the night by setting fast time for the fourth time this season.

"We got a little loose at the end and I was slipping and sliding coming off the corners with the wing all the way back," Sides said. "It just got a little too loose, but we'll take a third-place tonight."

Kraig Kinser ended up fourth in the Quaker State Maxim on Wednesday night, with Paul McMahan fifth in the Great Clips Maxim. Tim Kaeding was sixth in the DTR Transport KPC, while Sam Hafertepe Jr. was seventh in the G.H. Plumbing Maxim. Danny Lasoski came home eighth in the Casey's General Store JEI, with Greg Wilson ninth piloting the All Star Plumbing Maxim. Tim Shaffer rounded out the Top-10 aboard the Kistler Engines J&J.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Friday, July 16 with the Knight Before the Kings Royal at the famed Eldora Speedway.

World of Outlaws Fast Talkers: Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway

Rossburg, OH—July 14, 2010— Prior to heading to the famed legendary Eldora Speedway in Ohio to take part in the Kings Royal, each of the 16 drivers competing full-time with the World of Outlaws, shared their thoughts on the famed event. The weekend will begin on Friday, July 16 with the Knight Before the Kings Royal, followed on Saturday by the $50,000 to-win Kings Royal. A total of nine former Kings Royal winners will be taking part in the event, including five who are competing full-time with the Word of Outlaws this season. Steve Kinser, the 20-time World of Outlaws champion, leads all drivers with six wins in the Kings Royal, while Jac Haudenschild has won the event on three occasions, with Donny Schatz and Joey Saldana scoring two wins apiece, while Jason Sides won the event in 2004.

Craig Dollansky, Driver of the No. 7 Big Game Treestands Maxim:

“You always look forward to races like the Kings Royal. We were strong last time we were there and lost a tire toward the end of the race. I was pretty happy with our race car there and we were second quick, so we’ll go in there with a good race car and try to get ourselves in the hunt to win the Kings Royal. There is a lot of history at Eldora and the Kings Royal is one of the crown jewels of the sport. It’s one that has eluded me in my career and we’ll go in there with everything we have and see if we can get a win there with the Big Game Treestands car.”

Brian Ellenberger, Driver of the No. 22 Ti-22 Performance JEI:

“That’s a great race with a lot of history there. It’s certainly one of the biggest races of the year and we are looking forward to it. We’re looking forward to getting back to Eldora and running that race. You can tell by the size of the crowd what an important race it is. That’s one of the races that brings in a lot of people and everything that surrounds it is great. It’s a neat event all the way around and we’re glad to be able to take part in it.”

Ben Gregg, Driver of the No. 2B Kronik Energy Maxim:

“I’ve been going to that event since it started. I was at the first one and have been back there for a lot since. It’s always nice to go there and it’s great to get to run there in that event. We always have a good time going back to Eldora. We haven’t been very good there and we’re hoping to change that this time around. We’ll have a new motor that we’ll probably roll out there for that event and hopefully that will change things.”

Sam Hafertepe Jr., Driver of the No. 15H G.H. Plumbing Maxim:

“We always look forward to the Kings Royal and going to Eldora. It’s a big fast place and we do well at big fast places. We’re definitely looking forward to getting back there and hopefully finishing a couple spots better than last year. It would be a huge accomplishment for our team to win it. We haven’t won a World of Outlaws race yet and have come close several times. To win an event that prestigious would be great. I don’t even know if words could describe the feeling of what it would mean to win the Kings Royal.”

Jac Haudenschild, Driver of the No. R19 Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX:

“We like going to Eldora. It’s always a fast track and always good racing. If you get the car going good there it’s a fun place to race at. The money is the best part, but it’s a big race and a hard race to win. We’re looking forward to hopefully getting the (No.) R19 up front. It’s always special to win a big race like that. It means a lot to the car owner and the crew and everybody.”

Chad Kemenah: Driver of the No. 63 Golden Flavor Sesame Sticks Maxim:

“Anytime we can go to Eldora is a good thing. First because it’s close to home and second because we like the place. The Kings Royal just puts a lot more emphasis on everything. The history of event is pretty neat and that brings more fans to it. It’s a really neat weekend and when the Kings Royal gets here, you know you are in the “Month of Money.” Eldora kicks all of that off and you want to always do good over there.”

Kraig Kinser, Driver of the No. 11K Quaker State Maxim:

“The Kings Royal is one of the biggest races we run and everyone wants to run up front in it. Everyone wants to wear that crown at the end of the night. I’ve had some good runs there and some bad runs at Eldora, so hopefully we have some good momentum going there hopefully we have a chance of winning the race when the feature comes around. Just getting any win at Eldora is big for me. I’ve gotten to go over and see a lot of great races there. They used to run The Historical Big One and obviously the Kings Royal and just a lot of big races just in our sprint cars. Talking about dirt racing, there has been so many great races there in so many different types of race cars that run on dirt. Putting your name on a win list at a track like that is something very, very special.”

Steve Kinser, Driver of the No. 11 Bass Pro Shops Maxim:

“We always look forward to the Kings Royal. We have run it for a number of years and it’s always a special race. It’s one of the biggest races of the year and I always enjoy racing at Eldora anyway. I’m looking forward to it. Most of us race drivers would race for nothing to win the Kings Royal, but the money is good for sure and you need that to keep going up and down the road. It definitely is a race you want to try to win.”

Danny Lasoski, Driver of the No. 6 Casey’s General Store JEI:

“We always look forward to the big races. You know how our luck is at Eldora. We either do really good or really bad. Last time we were there, we finished second, so we are pumped up and looking forward to going there and see if we can win the Kings Royal. It would mean everything to win that. We’ve been fortunate to win the Knoxville Nationals and the Kings Royal is one of those races that has eluded us. We’ve run second before and that’s one we’d really like to add to our resume.”

Toni Lutar, Driver of the No. 4X Northwest Used Auto Parts KPC:

“That’s one of the big ones and a good race to get to. We came pretty close to making the main event last year, so hopefully we can make it this year. The race goes back a long way and there is so much history at the track itself that all of that certainly add to the prestige and aura of the race. It’s definitely one everyone looks forward to and they have some great fans out there.”

Paul McMahan, Driver of the No. 91 Great Clips Maxim:

“You always look to the events like that that pay a lot of money. We have a lot of big races coming up in July and August and the Kings Royal starts that off. That is a very prestigious race and everyone wants to win it. There have only been about eight or 10 guys that have won the Kings Royal, so to put your name on that list would be a feature in your cap. Anytime you can go back somewhere with a win in the same season helps. The race track will be a lot different. It’s a lot hotter out now and the track will be a lot slicker. It all depends on that qualifying time that you put down on your first lap of the night. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”

Jason Meyers, Driver of the No. 14 GLR Investments KPC

“Obviously it’s a big paying race, so it’s a race that is important to all of us. Eldora is a great facility and we always look forward to going over there. We’ve come close to winning that a couple of times, but it seems to be one that keeps eluding us. We’re looking forward to going back and trying to get it this year. It’s one of those races that you want to put your name on at some point. It’s very important to us and something we want to get done and hopefully this is the year. Wearing the crown is the most important part. The money is here today and gone tomorrow. To wear that crowd and get your name on that winners list is the most important and something that can never be taken away.”

Joey Saldana, Driver of the No. 9 Budweiser Maxim:

“There’s a pretty small group of guys that have won it and it’s a pretty elite group. For myself, when I got it, I started to realize that this was a place that I belong and I can race with guys like Steve Kinser and Jac Haudenschild and Dave Blaney. It’s a career changing race to win, that’s for sure. It’s something you shoot for and it’s something people don’t forget about if you do win it. As a sprint car driver it’s one of the biggest races you can win and one of the biggest of the year. I always look forward to it and it’s a show that you can focus on going out and winning because it’s just “Show-up point” so you don’t have to worry about points. You can go all out trying to win the race and it’s great that they let us do that.”

Donny Schatz, Driver of the No. 15 Armor All/STP J&J:

“Eldora is one of our favorite places to go and we look forward to getting there. It starts the “Month of Money,” so there are a lot of big races that follow it. We’ll try to get the big check and the big trophy. It’s probably had more prestige because of the guys that have won it. Steve (Kinser) has won it so many times, along with (Doug) Wolfgang and Sammy (Swindell). There has been a lot of great guys that have won the race. It’s the only one you get a crown and a robe for, so that’s pretty neat. It does pay pretty well also, so you take all of that into consideration and just enjoy it. If you don’t win it, it definitely makes for a long rest of the season and we don’t want to be in that position. We want to be up there fighting for it and hopefully get that crown and purple robe.”

Jason Sides, Driver of the No. 7S Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim:

“That was my first World of Outlaws win and to win the Kings Royal was pretty big for us. It was on my mom’s birthday as well which made it special. Her birthday is coming around again this year and we’ll see if we can win it again for her. It’s prestigious for sure and to me, it’s kind of like winning five races at once. It’s a big payday and helps our small team. We have the crown at home, along with the trophy and the big check hanging on the wall. It’s something we look at from time to time and think, ‘We did win that.’ It was a big win for us.”

Lucas Wolfe, Driver of the No. 5W Allebach Racing Maxim:

“It’s always one of the biggest races of the year and a great weekend. Hopefully we’ll be able to have a good run. We had a second-place run there earlier this season so hopefully we’ll be able to go back and repeat some of that success and hopefully improve one spot. You look at the list of names that has won the Kings Royal and it’s basically a “Who’s Who” of all of sprint car racing pretty much since it’s started. It’s one of those events you look forward to all year and it has quite a bit of history to it as well.”

Two Features in One Night: Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30’s Just One Week Away at Lernerville Speedway

Sarver, PA-July 13, 2010- Only one time this year can fans see the best sprint car drivers in the world race in two feature events on the same night, by purchasing just one single ticket, as the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's will take to the track on Tuesday, July 20 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania for the richest one-day event on the World of Outlaws calendar, with $15,000 awaiting the winner in each feature, with a possible $30,000 payday awaiting any driver that can sweep both ends of the double dip.

The Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's will consist of twin 30-lap feature events with the finish of the first 30-lapper determining the lineup-for the second, with all the lead lap cars from the opener being inverted for the finale. Last year Danny Lasoski won the opener in a late race thriller over Jason Sides and lined up 19th in the finale and charged all the way to seventh to earn the overall Silver Cup title, while Stevie Smith was victorious in the second Twin 30.

Leading the way to Lernerville Speedway next week for the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's will be current series point leader Joey Saldana, who is the track record holder at the always racy four-tenths-mile. Steve Kinser, the 20-time World of Outlaws champion, who has won the Silver Cup twice and is the winningest driver with the series at Lernerville, is less than 30-points behind Saldana as he chases his record 21st title.

Also in action will be Danny Lasoski, the 2001 World of Outlaws champion, who won the Silver Cup last season, along with two-time Silver Cup champion Donny Schatz, Jason Meyers, who has won seven times this year and is a former winner at Lernerville, Paul McMahan, Jason Sides, Craig Dollansky, Hall of Famer Jac Haudenschild, young gun Lucas Wolfe, Kraig Kinser, Sam Hafertepe Jr. Chad Kemenah, Brian Ellenberger and rookie contenders Ben Gregg and Toni Lutar. Sammy Swindell, who won the first Silver Cup in 1992 and has won the event three times, will also be in action.

Brian Ellenberger, who hails from right down the road in Butler, Pennsylvania, is thrilled to have the Twin-30 format back again in 2010. The reigning Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year with the World of Outlaws was victorious earlier this season at his home track of Lernerville and has five career wins at the track.

"What's better than two features in the same night," noted Ellenberger. "It's great for the fans and for us. We have two shots at it and two is better than one. I'm really excited for the Silver Cup. It's right in my backyard and we always enjoy going back to Lernerville."

Paul McMahan, who leads the World of Outlaws this season with seven fast time honors this season driving for Kasey Kahne racing, will be taking part in the Twin 30s for the first time next week. The veteran won earlier this season at the famed Eldora Speedway and would like nothing more than to win both ends of the Silver Cup.

"It's a good thing for the fans and that's the biggest thing," said McMahan. "It will be my first time taking part in the double features so I am looking forward to it. It's all about the fans and they enjoy it and we have to keep to keep doing that. We're looking forward to it and we're going to go out and try to win both races. If you can win both races and come from the back in the second one, you'll put on a great show for the fans."

Danny Lasoski, who added his name to an illustrious list of winners of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup last season, is looking forward to trying to repeat in the famed event. Just two drivers have ever won the event in back-to-back years, with Donny Schatz doing it most recently in 2006 and 2007, while Mark Kinser won four straight Silver Cups between 1996 and 1999.

"You have to watch the track, especially between the features and be able to make adjustments," explained the 2001 series champion of the Twin feature format at the Silver Cup. "We were able to work on the car last year and made the right changes to work our way to the front in the second feature. They reworked the track after the first feature which helped quite a bit. The fans saw an excellent show and we look to put on another great show this year."

Joey Saldana, the current World of Outlaws point leader and leading winner this season, is looking for his first career win at Lernerville He finished fifth in the opener of the Silver Cup last season and has 13 Top-10 finishes at the track as he looks to add his name to the list of winners.

"It's definitely exciting for the fans and that's what it's all about," said Saldana. "With the second race not being for points, you can really roll the dice and go for it and put on a great show for them. I'm really looking forward to it. I love to race and to get to race twice in one night, you can't ask for much more than that."

World of Outlaws Wrap-up: Kasey’s King of LaSalle, Jim Boyd Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway & Cedar Lake Speedway

Concord, NC-July 12, 2010-

World of Outlaws- 2: Mother Nature- 0: Both events in Wisconsin over the weekend had rain delay the start of racing action, though clear skies and great racing prevailed after the rain left. On Saturday night at Beaver Dam Raceway, one of the largest crowds in track history saw Joey Saldana win over his teammate Paul McMahan. On Sunday at Cedar Lake Speedway, a big crowd saw a lightning fast surface provide some breathtaking speeds on the high-banked 3/8-mile where Craig Dollansky was victorious over Sammy Swindell.

"I'm happy we were able to get the race in," said Lucas Wolfe on Saturday night at Beaver Dam after finishing fourth. "They did a great job with all the rain to get it in. The feature was pretty good given all the circumstances. The fans saw a good show."

Leading qualifier: Paul McMahan continued to be the strongest qualifier this season with the World of Outlaws, setting fast time for the series leading seventh time on Sunday night at Cedar Lake Speedway. The veteran has been quickest on a wide variety of tracks ranging from the high-banked 1/4-mile at River Cities Speedway to the high-banked half-mile at the famed Eldora Speedway. He has been fastest at six different tracks and has been among the Top-Five in qualifying on 16 occasions to earn 56 bonus points in the series standing to lead all drivers. The next closest driver is McMahan's teammate Joey Saldana, who has earned 52 bonus points in time trials.

Another strong run at Beaver Dam: Brian Ellenberger picked up the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award on Saturday night at Beaver Dam Raceway coming all the way from the 24 th starting spot to finish eighth. For the reigning Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year it was his second eighth-place finish this season and his second straight Top-10 at Beaver Dam. He finished ninth last year in his debut at the high-banked 1/3-mile bullring.

"I don't know what it is about that track," said Ellenberger. "I enjoyed running out there last year and was really looking forward to getting to go back. I was glad we were able to get the race in. I know it was a little late, but it was a good race and we had a good run."

Running up front: Lucas Wolfe turned in another very solid performance at Beaver Dam Raceway on Saturday night as he continues his strong start to the 2010 season. He was quickest in time trials for the fourth time this year, which has him tied for second most quick time honors this season. He followed that up with a third-place run in the dash and was fourth in the main event. The 2008 Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year is currently seventh in points on the strength of 21 Top-10 finishes with 12 of those being Top-Fives, which are both career highs.

"We were able to really be good all night," shared Wolfe after the race at Beaver Dam. "We were able to set fast time and make it through the heat and drew four for the dash. This is where we want to be running on a consistent basis and hopefully we can stay up there."

Some family bonding: Craig Dollansky had a number of family members in attendance on Sunday night at Cedar Lake Speedway to see him win. Making the win even more special was the fact that it was the first for him since his son Luke joined his crew. Dollansky has won twice this season and recently moved into the eighth spot in the series standings.

"I have my son Luke out here helping on the crew and I really enjoy having him out here," said the elder Dollansky after winning at Cedar Lake Speedway. "He is learning a lot and working very hard along with the rest of the crew. I am very proud of them and glad we were able to pick up a win."

Giving credit where credit is due : Joey Saldana, the current World of Outlaws point leader, is looking forward to the busy stretch of races that encompasses the month of July. While he would race every day if he could, he is quick to point out the grind that the World of Outlaws schedule has on each and every crew member in the pit area, especially in the heat of the summer with all the travel that accompanies the normal day-to-day maintenance on the race cars. The second generation driver applauds the dedication that crew members on the road have from each and every team.

"I enjoy it," said Saldana when asked about the busy time of the season. "I love it. My job is to be a race car driver and that's how I get paid. It's hard on these crews, not only my crew, but all of these crews. There are 16 teams out here full-time that put the same amount of effort in as everybody. When its 100 degrees out with the humidity and the driving and the racing, it's hard on these guys and they definitely don't get the credit they deserve. Every guy out here that puts a tool in their hand and works on these cars deserves a lot of credit for what goes on out here."

Hard charging Steve Kinser earned the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award last Thursday night at LaSalle Speedway after coming from the 15th starting spot to finish third. It marked the third time in four races that he garnered the honor which goes to the driver that passes the most cars in the feature event from their original starting position. The 20-time series champion used a number of double file restarts to gain spots during his march to the front. He is currently second in points and leads the series with 33 Top-10 finishes.

"Anytime you are in the back it definitely gives you a chance when you get double filed back up," shared Kinser after the race at LaSalle. "I lost ground on the first two or three and gained ground on the next two or three. It's sort of back and forth and you never know what's going to happen."

Hard luck award: Brian Ellenberger received the $100 Chizmark & Larson Insurance Hard Luck Award on July 8 at LaSalle Speedway. The reigning Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award winner was caught up in a second lap incident ending his night in his first visit to LaSalle Speedway. Mike Larson from Chizmark & Larson Insurance was in attendance and presented the cash bonus for the Hard Luck Award.

Craig Dollansky Dominates at Cedar Lake Speedway: Scores Second Win of 2010

New Richmond, WI- July 11, 2010- While he receives the accolades and the big check following a win, Craig Dollansky always is quick to credit his crew and entire team for their hard work and dedication, which play a very key component to being successful on the road with the World of Outlaws. Dollansky showed the important of a total team effort on Sunday night, as he came out on top at Cedar Lake Speedway in Wisconsin to earn his second A-Feature win of the season with the series and his second career win at the high-banked 3/8-mile.

The native of Elk River, Minnesota had a couple of different drivers chasing him over the course of the 30-lap contest, as first Jason Sides, who started on the pole looked for the top spot at the drop of the green. Sammy Swindell then moved into second and challenged Dollansky, before Jason Meyers moved into the runner-up spot later in the race and got alongside the leader a couple of times just prior to the halfway points of the race.

"It feels great to win," said Dollansky. "We have a very strong team here and everyone works so hard and they certainly deserve to win. It's been a long time since we won a race this year and it's not from a lack of effort, that's for sure. It takes a lot of work to get that done. We had a good dash draw which helped as well, but when you have something like that you have to capitalize on it. I was trying to not give the race away. I feel like I have given a couple away this year and was trying not to beat myself."

Dollansky was out front for three double file restarts on Sunday night and chose the low line on the first two and moved to the top of the high-banked 3/8-mile for the final restart on the 14th lap aboard the Big Game Treestands Maxim. He used a strong start each time to charge into turns one and two as the leader.

"I did not want to give it away," shared the veteran driver, when asked about the move to the top on the double file restart. "I was in the lead at Grand Forks (River Cities Speedway) and gave it away on that final restart and I didn't want to let my team down tonight. My team has worked hard and we have had a couple of races slip away by my fault and a couple of mechanical problems. This is a great team.

The start of Sunday night's racing program was delayed a couple of hours by rain, which marked the second straight night that rain pushed back the start of a World of Outlaws event. Dollansky had a large contingent cheering for him at Cedar Lake, where he picked up his second career win.

"Given the rain they got, my hat is off to these guys," shared Dollansky. "They did a great job tonight. It's great to win with a lot of family and friends here and with our car owner Tod Quiring in the house. I couldn't be happier for everyone involved."

Jason Meyers had a very solid night coming home second aboard the GLR Investments KPC, to gain valuable ground on Joey Saldana and Steve Kinser in the World of Outlaws championship standings. He now is just 48 points out of the lead The native of Clovis, California got even with Dollansky in turn one on the 12h lap in a bid for the lead and again the pair ran side-by-side in turns three and four on the 13th lap.

"It was fast tonight," said Meyers, when asked about the track. "You do not see tracks like this much in the Midwest. We used to see them in California all the time, but not so much anymore. We had a good car tonight. My guys worked really hard after last night. We have been struggling here lately. We are just tying to find some consistency. Everyone worked really hard tonight. We made a lot of changes and made up ground each time we touched the race track. We learned a lot here tonight, but this is probably a one in a million race track."

The native of Clovis, California got even with Dollansky in turn one on the 12h lap in a bid for the lead and again the pair ran side-by-side in turns three and four on the 13th lap. He caught Dollansky late in the race, but also had his hands full Swindell in the waning laps.

"I had a good run on Craig (Dollansky) there, but I think I showed him too much too early," explained Meyers. "I could not clear him and showed him that the top was there. All-in-all, we had a good car here tonight and we moved forward, and that is what it is all about. After coming off of crashing a Beaver Dam last night, this is what we needed getting ready for "The Month of Money" starting here this week."

Sammy Swindell picked up another podium finish on Sunday night coming home third in the Big Game Treestands Maxim. He lined up fourth and got around Jason Meyers on the opening lap and then had a spirited battle with Jason Sides for second.

"We had another good run tonight," said Swindell. "We keep picking up these third-place finishes and if we keep doing that, we'll win our fair share. I think I had something for Craig (Dollansky) if I could have gotten by Jason (Meyers). I was just having trouble from the standstill on the restarts and getting going. Once I got going and had momentum, I could get up there to those guys. We'll just keep working on it."

Jason Sides, who battled for the lead early in the race after starting on the pole, ended up fourth in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim. Paul McMahan, who began the night by setting quick time for a series-leading seventh time this season, wound up fifth in the Great Clips Maxim.

Jac Haudenschild was sixth aboard the Owens-Corning Fiberglass XXX, with Kerry Madsen in seventh in the Halls Haulage KPC. Lucas Wolfe came from 14 th to eighth to win the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger award in the Allebach Racing Maxim. Steve Kinser came from 15th to finish ninth in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim. Tim Kaeding rounded out the Top-10 in the DTR Transport KPC.

Joey Saldana, the current World of Outlaws point leader, was running fourth on the 12th lap at Cedar Lake when he spun. He wound up finishing 12th in the Budweiser Maxim and retained his lead at the top of the World of Outlaws championship standings.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Wednesday, July 14 in the Brad Doty Classic at Limaland Motorsports Park in Ohio.

Two in a Row: Joey Saldana Comes Out on Top of Jim Boyd “JB” Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway

Beaver Dam, WI— July 10, 2010— Joey Saldana has said a number of times this season that you need a little luck on your side when racing with the World of Outlaws, and he has had a couple of potential wins slip through his fingers by circumstances out of his control and by having some bad luck. He certainly had good luck on his side on Saturday night as he was victorious at Beaver Dam Raceway in Wisconsin in the Jim Boyd “JB” Memorial, despite having a rapidly deflating right rear tire during the waning laps at the high-banked 1/3-mile bullring.

Saldana had his Kasey Kahne Racing teammate Paul McMahan battle with him down the stretch, including on a couple of double file restarts. He held off McMahan to earn his series leading eighth A-Feature win of the season. The $10,000 victory for the second generation driver was the 67th of his World of Outlaws career which ties him with Stevie Smith for eighth on the all-time win list.

“We’ve given a few races away this year and in a situation like that, it’s out of your control and I thought we were going to give another one away tonight,” said Saldana in Victory Lane, when asked about his right rear tire. “We were able to hang in there and win the race. The crew definitely deserves to win with how hard they work day in and day out.”

Saldana was out front on six double file restarting, choosing the low line twice and the high line four times, including on the final double file restart with three laps to go. Following that restart, the red flag waved for a three-car incident involving Jason Meyers, Jac Haudenschild and Tim Kaeding before a lap had been completed, leading to a single file restart by way of rules.

“I was running better on the top and wanted to make that work up there,” explained the winner. “My car was good and it was a demanding race. Lapped traffic was pretty tough. You didn’t know where they were going to go. You just had to try and not make too many mistakes and luckily tonight we didn’t make too many.”

Saldana used the win to extend his lead in the World of Outlaws championship standings to 32 markers over 20-time series champion Steve Kinser as he chases his first title. In addition to leading the series in wins with eight, Saldana tops the leader board in Top-Five finishes with 23 aboard the Budweiser Maxim.

“We’re just doing the best we can do and I think we are better than what we are showing,” stated the native of Brownsburg, Indiana. “We’ve had a lot of situations that have been out of our control that have knocked us out of races. It was good to tonight. You have to have luck with these guys and tonight we had it.”

McMahan started fourth and got around Jason Meyers on the fifth lap for third and then worked his way by Lucas Wolfe on the 10th lap to set his sights on his teammate. McMahan was able to track Saldana down in traffic a couple of times, but was not quite able to make a pass. He fell back to third just past the halfway point of the 40-lap contest and again battled Wolfe for the runner-up spot before retaking it with 11 laps to go. The veteran would end up in the runner-up spot in the Great Clips Maxim.

“Joey (Saldana) had a tire going down and that was my only shot at getting by him since we weren’t going to get back into lapped traffic,” McMahan shared. “It was another good night for the Kasey Kahne Racing coming home first and second. My crew worked hard as always and it’s great to get good finishes for all of the people involved in this and who believe in me.”

Steve Kinser lined up seventh and steadily worked his way to the front to come home third aboard the Bass Pro Shops Maxim to earn his series leading 32 nd Top-10 finish of the season. He used a couple of strong double file restarts to pick up three spots over the final 10 laps of the race.

“It wasn’t too bad,” said Kinser of his run. “It’s hard to run third to those (two) cars the last couple of nights. We got going pretty good at the end of the race, was just a little bit tight. I felt good those last couple of laps, we just came up a little short.”

McMahan was able to keep pace with Saldana on the restarts and also gained a lot of ground on him in lapped traffic. The runner-up finish for McMahan helped mark the second consecutive one/two finish for Kasey Kahne Racing.

“The car was better around the top,” noted McMahan. “The restarts were pretty tough on the bottom. We were fortunate on that last double file restart to get up on top and try to chase Joey (Saldana) down. It just wasn’t meant to be. If we keep clicking off these finishes, we’ll get our wins.”

Lucas Wolfe continued his strong season coming home fourth in the Allebach Racing Maxim, after starting the night by setting fast time in qualifying. He started third and moved into second in the early going and then just past the halfway point retook that spot and was right on Joey Saldana in traffic. For Wolfe it was his 12th Top-Five finish of the season as he continues to close in on his first World of Outlaws win.

Craig Dollansky came home fifth in the Big Game Treestands Maxim, with Donny Schatz sixth aboard the Armor All/STP J&J. Kerry Madsen was seventh in the Halls Haulage KPC. Brian Ellenberger finished in the Top-10 for the second straight year at Beaver Dam Raceway coming home eighth in the Ti-22 Performance JEI. The reigning Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year came all the way from the 24th starting to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award.

Sammy Swindell was ninth aboard the Big Game Treestands Maxim, with Kraig Kinser rounding out the Top-10 in the Quaker State Maxim.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Sunday, July 11 at Cedar Lake Speedway.

Jason Meyers Edges Paul McMahan by Just Four Points to Earn Bud Crown Title: Top-3 in Event Points Share $15,000 Bonus from Budweiser

LaSalle, IL-July 9, 2010- Jason Meyers has received some unique trophies over the years for winning races and added another one to that collection on Thursday night, as he claimed the title in the Showdown for the Bud Crown, picking up a large shiny silver metal crown, filled with bottles of Budweiser. In addition to the crown, he pocketed $9,000 from the $15,000 bonus that the Top-Three in the mini-series standings split with Paul McMahan second and 20-time series champion Steve Kinser third.

The difference between Meyers and McMahan after the four races wound up being just four points, which was one single position on the race track, though Meyers held the tiebreaker if it would have come down to that, having won Round 2 of the Showdown for the Bud Crown at Volunteer Speedway in Tennessee back in March.

"It's really a neat deal for companies like Budweiser and someone like Kasey Kahne to get behind our sport and to come out here and put some races on for us with this mini-series," shared Meyers after Kahne presented him the title on Thursday night. "It was really great that they did this and we are very thankful to them. We've been working really hard this season and had a very good start to the year and hopefully this is a sign of things to come."

Meyers was the most consistent driver that competed during the four Showdown for the Bud Crown events, in all aspects of the night, as drivers earned event points not only for the feature event, but also for time trials and heat races.

The native of Clovis, California finished first, sixth, seventh and eighth aboard the GLR Investments KPC in the four A-Feature events, as well as was being quickest in time trials in two Bud Crown races and was among the Top-Two in qualifying in three of the races and seventh in the other, which set him apart from McMahan and Kinser. Meyers finished in the Top-Three in three of the heats races he took part in during the Showdown for the Bud Crown and was among the Top-Five in all four heat races during the mini-series.

"It was very important each time we hit the track with the event points that were earned," he noted. "I wasn't exactly sure where we stood in this thing until about a week ago. Right now we are just worried about winning the World of Outlaws championship and this is just a bonus on top of it."

Kasey's King of LaSalle on Thursday night brought the World of Outlaws back to LaSalle Speedway for the first time since 2004, before one of the largest crowds in track history on what turned out to be a very nice night weather-wise. Meyers entered the race at LaSalle with just one career start at the high-banked ¼-mile bullring, with that coming in 2004, when he finished fifth. He quickly got up to speed in his return to the track and raced his way into the dash to earn a Top-10 starting spot in the main event, eventually finishing eighth.

"It was completely different than the last time we were here," he explained of the track surface on Thursday night. "It was a very racy track here tonight. My hat is off to the guys at SLS (Promotions) for giving us a great surface to race on. We didn't exactly have the race car we wanted tonight, and definitely did not the finish quite where we wanted, but we'll work on that for the next race."

The Showdown for the Bud Crown tested drivers on three very different types of race tracks. The first two rounds were at the ultra high-banked Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee and Round 3 was at the big half-mile of Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia. The finale at LaSalle was held on a high-banked ¼-mile bullring.

"That's what the World of Outlaws is all about, going to different tracks," Meyers stated. "Versatility is what it takes to adapt and to adapt quickly. You have a lot of teams out here that do a great job at what they do and some of the toughest competition in the world is out here. You have to adapt and this mini-series showed exactly how that worked."

Previewing The World of Outlaws at Cedar Lake Speedway

New Richmond, WI-July 9, 2010- There aren't too many tracks on the circuit that have been hosting the World of Outlaws events longer than Cedar Lake Speedway in Wisconsin.

Joey Saldana Reigns Supreme in Kasey’s King of LaSalle While Jason Meyers Claims Overall Title in the Showdown for the Bud Crown

LaSalle, IL- July 8, 2010- Joey Saldana opened the Showdown for the Bud Crown with a win back in March and he wrapped up the four-race mini-series in the exact same way on Thursday night, picking up the victory over his teammate Paul McMahan at LaSalle Speedway in Illinois during Kasey's King of LaSalle Presented By Budweiser.

Saldana started sixth and quickly moved to the front. He challenged McMahan on a number of double file restarts, taking the top spot on a lap-22 restart. He charge into the lead in turn one, with McMahan battling back and taking the lead down the backstretch, with Saldana powering off turn four to move in front again. He would lead the remaining 14 laps en route to his seventh A-Feature win of the season and his first career triumph at LaSalle Speedway.

"It was a great effort," said Saldana. "We drew dead last (for time trials) and qualified 10th. We started ninth in the dash and moved up to sixth and then went from sixth to win, that was a great effort. They can't say that we started on the front row and they gave us that one. We worked for everything the whole night. We worked with our car and the whole crew did a really good job."

Saldana was out front with two laps remaining when the third and final red flag of the night flew, setting up a double file restart and a two-lap shootout for the $10,000 top prize. Saldana chose the high side of the high-banked ¼-mile for the restart, which marked the only time of the six double file restarts on the night that the leader chose the high side of the track. The native of Brownsburg, Indiana used a strong restart to jump out to a couple of car lengths lead and was able to open a slight gap on the final lap on the way to his 66th career World of Outlaws A-Feature win, which put him just one behind Stevie Smith who is eighth on the all-time series win list.

"I knew it was better and my car was working better on the top," shared the winner of his choice of the high side of the track on the double file restart. "I think the only reason Paul (McMahan) went up there was that I showed him my nose too soon and he felt like he felt like he was getting a good run up off the bottom. On initial starts, the bottom is definitely better, but on the double file restarts, the leader sets the pace, so to me the top was clearly better."

For Saldana, it was his second win this season aboard the Budweiser Maxim with his car owner in attendance, both coming during events that were part of the Showdown for the Bud Crown which was promoted by Kasey Kahne along with the World Racing Group.

"He's put a lot into the World of Outlaws and I just hope everyone appreciates what he's doing," said Saldana of his car owner. "I know we do and Budweiser does. He not only has these cars out here racing, but he takes time out of his very busy schedule to try and promote the World of Outlaws. That's why he wanted to put this series on and come to these tracks that we hadn't been to in a while and he got us back to these places. The crowds have been tremendous and the racing has been awesome."

McMahan led the first 21 laps on Thursday night after starting on the pole. He was challenge by Lucas Wolfe early in the race and then Jac Haudenschild. Each time he was leading under caution, the veteran chose the low line in the Great Clips Maxim on the double file restarts. He came into the night second in the Bud Crown standings and wound up just four points behind Jason Meyers who claimed the title for the four-race mini-series.

"I knew if Joey (Saldana) got out front he would be hard to catch," said McMahan. "He cleared me one time and I got back underneath him and we went back ahead and I just couldn't clear him. It was a great effort by the whole KKR team to come home first and second. We tried to come in and win this Bud Crown tonight and came up just a few points short. We did everything we had to do. We out qualified Jason (Meyers). We matched him in the heat race and outran him in the main event. We just came up a few points short."

Steve Kinser continued to be the most consistent driver on the World of Outlaws circuit on Thursday night, coming all the way from the 15th starting spot to finish third in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim to earn his series leading 31st Top-10 finish of the season. The 20-time series champion steadily worked his way to the front and was able to gain a number of spots late in the going on double file restarts.

"It wasn't too bad," Kinser stated. "I just have to get qualified better. I was pretty good the second half of the race when I could move up the track some. I had my hands full the rest of the night, but I'm not going to complain. I didn't figure I'd finish in the Top-Three tonight so I'll take it."

Jason Meyers came home eighth in Kasey's King of LaSalle aboard the GLR Investments KPC to win the overall Showdown for the Bud Crown title by a mere four points over Paul McMahan, with Kinser third. The trio split a $15,000 bonus for their efforts in the four-race mini-series. Meyers was victorious in Round 2 back in March at Volunteer Speedway.

"It's really a neat deal for companies like Budweiser and someone like Kasey Kahne to get behind our sport and to come out here and put some races on for us with this mini-series," Meyers said. "It was really great that they did this and we are very thankful to them. We've been working really hard this season and had a very good start to the year and hopefully this is a sign of things to come."

Donny Schatz, the four-time and defending World of Outlaws champion worked his way to fourth on Thursday night in the Armor All/STP J&J. Lucas Wolfe came home fifth in the Allebach Racing Maxim, with Tim Kaeding sixth in the DTR Transport KPC. Jason Sides was seventh in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim with Meyers eighth. Kraig Kinser was ninth in the Quaker State Maxim, with Danny Lasoski rounding out the Top-10 in the Casey's General Store JEI.

The World of Outlaws return to action on Saturday, July 10 with the Jim Boyd "JB" Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway in Wisconsin.

Previewing The Jim Boyd “JB” Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway for the World of Outlaws

Beaver Dam, WI-July 8, 2010- Jim Boyd was a fixture at Beaver Dam Raceway in Wisconsin every year when the World of Outlaws came to town. He also could be found at numerous other events throughout the season, helping his son Scott, and the crew at SLS Promotions put on some of the best and most exciting races in the Upper Midwest. The elder Boyd, who passed away earlier this year, will be honored on Saturday, July 10 with the first Jim Boyd "JB" Memorial at Beaver Dam Raceway as the World of Outlaws make their only appearance of the season at the high-banked 1/3-mile bullring.

The race will continue a stretch of six straight events for the series on short tracks, those 3/8-mile and smaller. Joey Saldana leads the series into the Jim Boyd Memorial as the current series point leader, while Jason Meyers leads the series in wins with seven entering this weekend.
