University of Northwestern Ohio Set To Make Big Impact During 41st UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented By Summit

Buckeye State School Will Field Nine-Car UMP Modified Team At Volusia Speedway Park Featuring Nationally-Known Stars & Student Drivers

BARBERVILLE, FL – Feb. 2, 2012 – If anyone attends a racing program at Volusia Speedway Park from Feb. 14-25 and leaves without remembering the words University of Northwestern Ohio, then they just weren’t paying attention.

The Lima, Ohio-based institution is, after all, the title sponsor of the 41st UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment, assuring itself plenty of spoken, visual and written exposure throughout the half-mile oval’s mid-winter motorsports spectacular.

What’s more, the school that boasts the world’s first High Performance/Motorsports degree program will also be an active participant in the racing meet’s DIRTcar UMP Modified action, which runs nightly from Feb. 14-21. The UNOH logo will adorn the bodywork of nine UMP Modifieds, including four driven by nationally-known pavement stars and four prepared and steered by UNOH students.

UNOH’s UMP Modified assault on Volusia will feature NASCAR veterans Kenny Wallace and Ken Schrader as well as the fast-rising Dillon brothers, Austin (2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion) and Ty (2011 ARCA Racing Series titlist). Each driver will compete in the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit in UMP Modifieds sponsored by UNOH.

“This is going to be the busiest Speedweeks we’ve ever had,” said UNOH Vice President of Development Steve Farmer. “It’s always a lot of work to get ready for Volusia, and this year our hands are full even more. We’re the title sponsor of the DIRTcar Nationals for the first time, plus we’re sponsoring the All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car series (which runs at Volusia on Feb. 15-16), we’re having our first UNOH Career in Motorsports Expo (on Feb. 18 at Daytona International Speedway) and we’re sponsoring Ty Dillon in the NASCAR Truck Series at Daytona.”

The year marks UNOH’s fifth consecutive year as a backer of Volusia’s annual dirt-track racing extravaganza. Previously a presenting sponsor, the school has increased its participation in 2012 – a clear signal of the significance the event holds for the Buckeye State university.

“Our involvement with the World Racing Group, the DIRTcar Nationals and the World of Outlaws has been very, very successful,” said Farmer. “It’s really enhanced the presence UNOH has in the industry as well as in motorsports and it provides us a great grassroots platform to recruit students and show them what the University of Northwestern Ohio has to offer.”

A private, not-for-profit school that launched its High Performance/Motorsports degree program in 1991, UNOH uses the DIRTcar Nationals to cap a unique extra-curricular activity that provides its budding mechanical minds true real-world training. Five years ago the university enhanced the motorsports program’s curriculum by launching a fully-sponsored, in-house UMP Modified team – a unique after-school pursuit in which a select group of students builds and maintains UMP Modifieds and races them in the weekly events at nearby Limaland Motorsports Park, which is owned and operated by UNOH. The trip to Florida for the DIRTcar Nationals serves as the culmination of the 2011-2012 racing season for the UNOH motorsports team, which is housed in a shop on the university’s 189-acre campus.

The UNOH UMP Modified team will invade Volusia with 32 students, all of whom receive scholarships in the same manner as student-athletes at other schools. More than 180 High Performance/Motorsports program students participated in try-outs for the select number of positions on the team; all the team members are transported to Florida each February to end their year-long stints with a busy week of activity servicing the UMP Modifieds.

UNOH’s army of student mechanics at Volusia will include Kody Weisner of Muskegon, Mich., Chris Puskas of Somerset, N.J., Travis Fleshman of West Union, Ohio, and Josh Ulrich of Gettysburg, Pa. – a quartet that will not only work on the University-built UMP Modifieds, but drive them as well. The balance of the team members will crew the UNOH-prepared cars, but Wallace, Schrader, the Dillon brothers (the grandsons of famed NASCAR team owner Richard Childress) and reigning Limaland Speedway UMP Modified champion Todd Sherman of Churubusco, Ind., who will enter the ninth UNOH-affiliated car, will also have students assigned to assist their efforts.

The four highest-profile UNOH drivers are not only well known on the national scene, but also accomplished in UMP Modified action at Volusia. Schrader is a former UMP Modified points champion of the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit (he won it in 2008), while Wallace and the Dillon brothers have each reached Victory Lane in UMP Modified competition over the past five years. Last year the Dillon boys and Schrader swept the Triple 25s program that closed out the UMP Modified portion of the DIRTcar Nationals, and last year’s marquee UMP Modified event, the ‘Gator Championship,’ was captured by Ty Dillon.

The UMP Modified schedule during the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit features $1,000-to-win A-Mains on Feb. Feb. 14, 15, 16 and 17; a pair of $700-to-win preliminary events on Feb. 18 and 19 leading into the headline ‘Gator’ championship race paying $5,000 to win on Feb. 20; and a multiple-features-only finale ($700 to win each) on Feb. 21.

Accenting UNOH’s activity at Volusia, the school will have a healthy presence at Daytona International Speedway, which sits less than a half-hour drive from Volusia. The school is sponsoring Ty Dillon’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series machine, and 34 UNOH High Performance Motorsports student “interns” will be in the Daytona pit area assisting ARCA teams as part of a work arrangement with the series. In addition, the inaugural UNOH Career in Motorsports Expo on Feb. 18 at Daytona will give area students who have expressed interest in UNOH an opportunity to hear several guest speakers from the motorsports industry, including Childress.

Throughout the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit, UNOH representatives will be available in Volusia’s midway area to promote the school’s Motorsports programs.

“The University draws students from all 50 states and 16 foreign countries, and in the last few years we have had an influx of students interested in our High Performance/Motorsports Programs from the state of Florida,” said UNOH President Dr. Jeffrey A. Jarvis. “By building and racing vehicles in Florida that will be driven and crewed by UNOH High Performance Motorsports students, the University hopes to continue to encourage both interested prospective students and local Florida high school instructors to check out everything that UNOH has to offer them.”

Founded in 1920, the University of Northwestern Ohio is comprised of the College of Business, College of Technologies and College of Distance Learning. UNOH offers over 60 programs in High Performance, Alternate Fuels, Diesel, Automotive, HVAC, Agricultural, Business, Marketing, Medical, Legal, Travel, IT Computer and Sport Marketing and Management with Associate degrees, Baccalaureate degrees and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.

The UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit is a 12-night short-track blockbuster that features nightly doubleheaders. Joining the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds on the busy schedule will be the UMP Late Models (30-lap A-Mains paying $7,000 to win on Feb. 20, 21 and 22 and a 40-lap, $10,000-to-win finale on Feb. 24); the World of Outlaws Late Model Series (50-lap A-Mains for $10,000 to win on Feb. 23 and 25); the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series (Feb. 17-19); the UNOH All-Star Sprint Car Series (Feb. 15-16); and the Super DIRTcar Series for Big-Block Modifieds (Feb. 22-25).

Following opener in Florida, ‘Greatest Show on Dirt’ springs cross-country for big month

CONCORD, N.C. - Feb. 2, 2012 - While most of the off-season attention is focused on the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series season-opening event in Florida, a month-long trip to the West Coast awaits the teams.

Following the 41st annual UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., Feb. 17-18-19, the teams head to the opposite coast for the month of March in the West.

"Going out there is great," four-time champion Donny Schatz said. "They've got great facilities. The settings are absolutely unbelievable. It's great to see the following that they have."

It begins on Saturday, March 3, in Tucson, Ariz., with the Wildcat Shootout at USA Raceway - a high-banked, 3/8-mile oval that hasn't hosted a World of Outlaws race since 2007.

The Outlaws then head up to Las Vegas for a Thursday race - March 8 - at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas. Schatz has won a series-best six of the 26 World of Outlaws' events at the semi-banked, half-mile.

The series wraps up that weekend on Saturday, March 10, at Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, Calif. - the first of seven races in California during a 22-day span. Mark Kinser won the first five races at the semi-banked, half-mile track, which has featured six different winners in the last seven events.

Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., then hosts a doubleheader on March 16-17. The high-banked, 1/3-miler has seen Joey Saldana stand in Victory Lane at four of the last seven races, including last season's lone event.

The Mini Gold Cup will be hosted on March 23-24 at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., where at least one World of Outlaws race has been held annually since 1979. Steve Kinser owns a series-high 13 victories at the high-banked, quarter-mile oval.

"Especially being in Indiana all winter, you always enjoy catching the good weather," Kinser said. "It's always a fun time at the beginning of the year."

The West Coast swing concludes the following weekend at Merced Speedway in Merced, Calif., on March 30 and at Calistoga Speedway in Calistoga, Calif., on March 31. Last year was the first Outlaws event at the semi-banked, quarter-mile Merced, which was won by Sammy Swindell. Kinser and Danny Lasoski each have five victories at the semi-banked, half-mile Calistoga.

Tony Stewart Racing star geared up for UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit

CONCORD, N.C. - Jan. 31, 2012 - It's that point of the year when the offseason is winding down; just not quickly enough.

Cars are being assembled and plans made. And the itch to get back in the seat is more vibrant than ever. For a guy like Steve Kinser, the King of the Outlaws and the winningest driver in sprint car history, it isn't any different.

"Right now all of the guys are trying to get these cars finished up and head to Volusia," he said. "I've had enough time off. I'm ready to go race."

The World of Outlaws opens the season on Feb. 17-18-19 at the 41st annual UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla. It's an event that includes all three major World of Outlaws series competing Feb. 14-25.

Kinser won the first two races at the fast, half-mile oval last year, which started a season when he finished with nine victories. He also place third in the standings - his 28th season with a top-three result in the 34 years of the World of Outlaws.

"That's a bonus," Kinser said of starting the season with a win. "It's not that critical. There have been a lot of times when I've sort of struggled for three or four weeks and got going on later in the year."

The Bloomington, Ind., native, who holds the all-time record of World of Outlaws victories with 570 and championships with 20, has claimed a series-best four wins at Volusia Speedway Park along with Tony Stewart Racing teammate Donny Schatz.

Last year, Kinser qualified in the top 10 each night, finished second in his heat race each night, won the dash twice and finished no worse than second in a feature.

"I like running Volusia," he said. "It's a good, fast race track, even if it's slick. It's the kind of track we really like to run on."

While Kinser said he doesn't know whether three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart will race any sprint car events - he will be in nearby Daytona in preparation for NASCAR's Daytona 500 - that adds to the great environment at Tony Stewart Racing.

"He's not afraid to jump in there," Kinser said. "Nobody really gives anyone advice. We just try to feed each other information."

Kasey Kahne Racing star eager for return to UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit

CONCORD, N.C. - Jan. 26, 2012 - With less than three weeks until the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series season-opening event, anticipation is ramping up.

The Outlaws and an assembly of additional elite talent are preparing to kick off the 2012 campaign - a growing slate of 83 events at 51 tracks in 23 states plus Canada - at the 41st annual UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla. The event runs from Feb. 14-25, with the Outlaws racing Feb. 17-18-19.

Among the stacked group of drivers is Joey Saldana, who claimed the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit title last season. The Brownsburg, Ind., native earned quick time two of the three nights and he ended with two third-place results and an eight-place finish.

"We didn't win a race; we were just consistent," he said. "Volusia is one of those tracks with hard competition, and the track is hard. You just have to be consistent every night."

While Saldana has won twice since 2006 at the half-mile track, he has thrived on consistency. Since 2008, Saldana has six top-five finishes and nine top 10s in 11 races.

"Volusia has always been pretty good for us," he said. "I'm definitely looking forward to going there and getting the season started.

"It's a fast track kind of like Eldora (Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio). It's probably one of the fastest tracks we race on. I like fast tracks, so it kind of fits my style."

Tickets can be ordered online by clicking WorldofOutlaws.com/tickets or by calling 877-395-8606.

‘Greatest Show on Dirt’ returns to Pennsylvania track for first time since 1998; officials need fans to name race through Facebook contest

CONCORD, N.C. - Jan. 20, 2012 - The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series is returning to Pennsylvania's Lincoln Speedway May 9 for the first time since 1998, kicking off a "Six Pack" of Northeastern events in May that includes two nights at Williams Grove Speedway plus events at Rolling Wheels Raceway, Orange County Fair Speedway and Hagerstown Speedway.

The Lincoln race adds to the intense rivalry between the Outlaws and the Pennsylvania Posse, a rivalry that reaches deep into Sprint Car lore. Pennsylvania superstar Fred Rahmer was the last driver to win a World of Outlaws race at Lincoln, accomplishing the feat 14 years ago at the historic track. The Outlaws first raced at Lincoln during the series' inaugural 1978 season. Steve Kinser, the King of the Outlaws with 570 main event victories and 20 championships, has won 13 of the 36 World of Outlaws feature events in Lincoln's history.

While the World of Outlaws swing through the Northeast will be the Six Pack, the event at Lincoln needs its own name. World of Outlaws and Lincoln officials agreed to put the naming rights into the fans' hands through Facebook. Click Facebook.com/WorldofOutlaws and submit your name for the event under the Lincoln Speedway World of Outlaws event thread. Officials will choose a name from the entries.

The first-half of the Six Pack tour features three nights of huge battles between the Outlaws and the Posse, beginning Wednesday, May 9, at Lincoln in Abbottstown, Pa.; then continuing Friday and Saturday, May 11-12, at Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pa. The Six Pack then heads into New York on Wednesday, May 16, at Rolling Wheels Raceway in Elbridge and Saturday, May 19, at Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown. The swing wraps up on Sunday, May 20, at Hagerstown (Md.) Speedway.

Tickets to Lincoln, which include a free fan pit pass if purchased in advance, and Rolling Wheels can be ordered by clicking WorldofOutlaws.com/tickets or calling 877-395-8606. Tickets for Williams Grove Speedway can be ordered by calling the track at 717-697-5000. Tickets for Orange County Fair Speedway can be purchased by calling 845-342-2573.

Season starts at UNOH DIRTcar Nationals in February, races to Lowes Foods World Finals in November

ORLANDO, Fla. - Dec. 1, 2011 - The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series is giving fans a sneak preview of the 2012 schedule of events today on its Facebook page by clicking Facebook.com/WorldofOutlaws.

The schedule, which kicks off with the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals in February at Volusia Speedway Park near Daytona Beach, is being distributed this weekend at the annual Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. It will be made available to media and at WorldofOutlaws.com on Friday, as well as at next week's International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS) in Indianapolis.

In addition to Facebook, fans can also follow the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series on Twitter by clicking Twitter.com/WorldofOutlaws.

CONCORD, N.C — November 14, 2011 — What a difference a year can make. In 2010, World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series title race would go down as one of the most exciting in history as four drivers entered in season ending Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Natures Own with a four drivers having a mathematical shot at the title. In 2011, however, Jason Meyers didn’t want to leave near as much to chance. When the series rolled into the Dirt Track at Charlotte last November, Meyers held a 96 point advantage over four-time and defending series champion Donny Schatz. Meyers captured the title in dramatic fashion by sweeping the final two races of the season. Flash forward one year and the driver of the #14 DDNi/Media-Tile/GLR Investments/All-Star Performance KPC was atop the series points standings once again but by over 240 markers this year. After riding the strength of one of the most impressive winning streaks in recent World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series history, Meyers solidified his position in the series history books by becoming only the fifth driver to win multiple titles.

In a season that saw Schatz capture his fifth Goodyear Knoxville Nationals crown, Tyler Walker capitalize on Sammy Swindells heartbreak at the Kings Royal and many more memorable moments, Meyers and his Elite Racing team quietly put together one of the strongest seasons in recent memory. With five bonus points going to the fastest qualifier at each race, Meyers used Charlie Garrett horsepower record twelve Quick Time’s on the season. The Clovis, Calif. native also led the series in top-5 and top-10 finishes. In the month of July alone, Meyers finished 14 of 17 races in the top-5.

While Meyers didn’t catch fire until the summer months, Steve Kinser looked to be the man to beat after the series opened the season at the 40 th Annual DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH. The 20-time series champion served notice to the rest of the field by claiming back to back victories. Throughout the entire season, the #11 Bass Pro Shops/J.D. Byrider/Chevrolet ran near the front and continued to prove that Kinser was among the best of the best behind the wheel of a sprint car.

Kinser’s Tony Stewart Racing teammate, Donny Schatz, continued his climb towards the ranks of Sprint Car immorality in 2011. Schatz captured the annual Brad Doty Classic in July to move into the fourth spot on the series all-time win’s list, one spot ahead of his childhood idol, Doug Wolfgang. When August rolled around, Schatz was fierce as ever, leading 35 of the 50 laps to claim his 5th win in sprint car racing’s crown jewel event, the Goodyear Knoxville Nationals. Schatz also went on to sweep the season ending Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Nature’s Own at the Dirt Track at Charlotte.

Kasey Kahne Racing continued to enjoy success at sprint car racing’s top level as all three machines visited victory lane in 2011. Brownsburg, Ind. native Joey Saldana appeared to be the early favorite for the title as he led the series standings throughout the spring and into the summer months. Sadly, Saldana’s hopes for a first career World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series title ended with a vicious crash at the Kings Royal. Saldana would be sidelined with multiple injuries for nine weeks but returned with a vengeance as he won his first two races back, including an emotional return to Eldora Speedway, the site of his accident.

Saldana’s teammates also enjoyed success on the season. Paul McMahan put his #83 HR Cattle/Roth Motorsports Maxim in victory lane four times on the season including the Outlaws Showdown at the Dirt Track at Charlotte in May and the series return to the Belleville Highbanks in early June. McMahan also picked up ten Quick Time honors on the season. Youngster Cody Darrah drove his #91 Great Clips Maxim to victory at Castrol Raceway in late August and claimed the annual Oil City Cup by virtue of having the highest average finishing position over the two races.

Craig Dollansky ended 2011 with nine victories on the season. The Elk River, Minn. native notched wins in the grueling Ironman 55 at I-55 Raceway, the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway and swept the Duel in the Dakota’s at River Cities Speedway. Dollansky was never too far from the front as he finshed fourth on the total laps led chart with 218 and was presented with the overall KSE Hardcharger award for passing the most cars in 2011.

Coming out of the 40th Annual DIRTcar Nationals presented by UNOH, Jason Sides was red hot. The Bartlett, Tenn. native scored his first win of the season in only the third race and kept the strong momentum going into the early summer months. Sides notched three more wins until a mid-summer slump slowed his #7s Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim. “Double Down” rebounded on the Outlaws second West Coast Tour as he finished second in the prestigious Gold Cup Race of Champions at Silver Dollar Speedway.

Kraig Kinser wheeled the #6 Caseys General Stores Maxim to victory at Cottage Grove Speedway on Labor Day. With his victory, the Bloomington, Ind. native gave car owner Lonnie Parsons his second win in a row at the quarter mile bull ring. In addition to the win, Kinser opened the season strong with a top-5 showing on the second night of the 41st DIRTcar Nationals presented by UNOH.

Chad Kemenah and Lucas Wolfe both contended for victories throughout the season. Kemenah was strong early on with a fourth place finish at Royal Purple Race and showed surprising strength at Williams Grove Speedway all season long. Wolfe continued to inch ever closer to his first career series win. The Mechanicsburg, Pa. native led the first 24 laps of the Outlaws debut at the Salina Highbanks Speedway only to lose a tire near the end of the race. Wolfe also flexed some muscle at the beginning of August when he finished in the top-5 four consecutive races.

Bill Rose played the role of veteran rookie in 2011. Despite driving a transporter with more than a million miles and using old tires on his race car, Rose kept up with the Outlaws nearly every where they went. The Plainfield, Ind. native scored his best finish of the season, third, at River Cities Speedway. Upon climbing from his #6R KJM Trucking Maxim, he was given a standing ovation by the sold out crowd.

2011 saw some familiar, fresh and famous faces reach Victory Lane for the first time. Sunnyvale, Tex. native and former touring driver Sam Hafertepe Jr. captured his first career World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory at Skagit Speedway during the Outlaws second west coast swing. Kyle Larson’s awe inspiring 2011 season saw the Elk Grove, Calif. youngster capture the annual Gold Cup Race of Champions for his first series victory. Rounding out the first time winners was NASCAR superstar and World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series team owner Tony Stewart. The Rushville, Ind. native held off a hard charging Sammy Swindell to get his first win in the series.

With the 2011 season in the books after the Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca Cola and Natures Own at the Dirt Track at Charlotte, each driver and team will turn their attention to the 41st Annual UNOH DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park.

17 different drivers visit victory lane in grueling coast to coast campaign

CONCORD, N.C — November 7, 2011 — For only the fifth time in World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series history, a driver has won multiple championships. Clovis, Calif. native Jason Meyers continued to impress as he won his second consecutive title in dominating fashion. Meyers led the series in pole positions, laps led, Quick Time’s, Top-5’s and Top-10’s. Meyers also tied Craig Dollansky and Steve Kinser for the most wins on the season with nine.

“This year was just a very strong year for this #14 car,” said Meyers. ”It is really awesome to win another championship for everyone on this team and each and every one of partners. 2011 is something we will always remember and adding that second championship adds to our entry in the history books.”

A look at the stat book reveals the stretch where the driver of the DDNi/Media-Tile/GLR Investments/ All-Star Performance KPC truly separated himself from the rest of the pack. In the month of July, Meyers finished in Top-5 14 times in 17 starts, including three wins.

July also saw a famous name pick up his very first career World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win. NASCAR superstar Tony Stewart went held off a hard charging Sammy Swindell to claim the checkers at Ohsweken Speedway. Stewart, Sam Hafertepe Jr. and Kyle Larson added their names to the all-time career win’s list for the series which stands at 105.

In the career win’s category, Donny Schatz used a late race surge during the annual Brad Doty Classic to claim his 108^th career victory and passed his childhood idol, Doug Wolfgang, for fourth on the all time wins list.

Twenty-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Champion, Steve Kinser, continued to add to one of the most impressive legacies in all of motorsports. The Bloomington, Ind. native now has 570 career A-main victories and will continue his pursuit of 600 in 2012.

With all eyes now turning to the 41^st Annual UNOH DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park, here’s a look at the final statistics for the 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series season.

CONCORD, N.C — November 5, 2011 — Donny Schatz put an exclamation point on the 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series season. After finishing second at the Sage Fruit Showdown at the Talladega Short Track, Schatz went on a tear. The four time series champion won the final two races of the season at the Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Nature’s Own at the Dirt Track at Charlotte. Schatz backed up his dominating performance on night number one with an exciting restart pass on Kerry Madsen to end night number two.

“We didn’t have the season that we wanted too but we finished strong,” said Schatz, driver of the #15 STP/Armor All/ Chevrolet. ”We finished second at Talladega and came in here and won both races. It’s a great way to end the season for our STP team here at the Dirt Track at Charlotte. Our car got better as we got the fuel load off and it settled down a little bit. Our line didn’t change much but the way our car went through the line got better.”

(Click here a post race with Schatz.)

Madsen started alongside his brother, Ian, on the front row for the 65^th and final series event in 2011. From the drop of the green flag, Kerry was the stronger of the two brothers and quickly walked away from the field. Only lap traffic and a mid race restart was enough to slow the #92 MRN Radio.com KPC. The pass for the lead was the beginning of a slide for Madsen as he slipped to seventh in the late stages. Steve Kinser moved into second to challenge his teammate for the win.

“We had an excellent race car all night long,” said Kinser, who will finish third in the final series standings. ”We should have gotten to the lower line earlier and stayed with Donny. The outside wasn’t too bad but Donny won a great race tonight. I can’t thank everyone on the Bass Pro Shops/J.D. Byrider/Chevrolet enough. It was a great year and we’ll be back.”

Craig Dollansky powered his way to third using the outside line and nearly nabbed second from Kinser.

The high side was great for us tonight,” said Dollansky. ”I thought we could’ve gotten Steve on that last restart but he had a strong car as well. Big Game Treestands and everyone that stands behind this car make it all happen each and every race. It’s great to be able to come down here to an event like the Lowes Foods World Finals to put on a great race for our fans, sponsors and partners.”

Youngster Cody Darrah charged his way to a fourth place finish, the highest placing Kasey Kahne Racing machine. Greg Hodnett rounded out the top-5 in an exciting 30 lap main event that closed out the 2011 campaign. Jason Meyers finished 8^th and officially was crowned as the 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Champion.

With the 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in the books, all eyes now turn to the 41^st Annual UNOH DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park near Barberville, Fl. February 14 thru 25.

Fargo, N.D. driver picks up 7th win of 2011, Swindell second and Meyers third

CONCORD, N.C — November 4, 2011 — Even though he won’t claim a fifth series title this season, Donny Schatz is ending 2011 in a high note. Coming into the Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Nature’s Own, Schatz holds a slim lead over teammate Steve Kinser for the second spot in the series standings. A strong qualifying effort propelled Schatz to the pole of the night’s feature event where he led all thirty laps to secure his fifth career win at the Dirt Track at Charlotte.

“It feels really good to come out here and win to close out the season,” said Schatz, who now has a 17 point advantage over Kinser. “The track held up really well considering the weather we’ve had here all day and the fact that we’ve also had the Late Models and Big Block Modifieds running with us. We were very good from the get go and the restarts did help us. These STP guys deserve to be in victory lane a whole lot more. We’ll take this one tonight and try to get back here again to close out the season.”

One driver who wasn’t happy to see the restarts was Sammy Swindell. The Germantown, Tenn. native started the night’s feature event ninth and had taken the top spot at lap sixteen. Schatz fought back and regained the top spot as lap traffic held up the leaders.

“We certainly were better on the longer runs,” said Swindell. ”Those restarts towards the end hurt us. When we had the red for a fuel stop, I think Donny must have made some changes or found something. We didn’t make any adjustments and he seemed to be able to get going pretty quick after we fired up again. It was a good night for us though. Just came up a little bit short.”

As Schatz and Swindell raced away from the field in the latter stages of the event, the battle was on for third as both Jason Meyers and Craig Dollansky looked to use the outside to hold onto the spot. In the end, it was Meyers who secured the spot and the 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series title.

The outside was the place to be,” said Meyers, a Clovis, Calif. native. ”Craig and I had a great battle going and kept swapping the spot back and forth for awhile. We did really well here last year when we won both races but something felt like it was missing tonight. I searched around to find a spot that would help me pick up some time and I did for awhile. Eventually Donny found it as well and was awesome around it so there wasn’t much we could do.”

Dollansky crossed the line in fourth with Kasey Kahne Racing star, Joey Saldana, rounding out the top-5. Greg Hodnett appeared to have a strong machine early on as he started on the outside pole but mechanical issues slowed his #39 sprinter and dropped him to a 20^th place finish. Ian Madsen crashed hard into the front stretch wall on a restart at lap five. Madsen, filling in for the injured Bill Rose, was taken to a nearby hospital for further observation.

The 2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series concludes with the final night of the 5^th annual Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Nature’s Own at the Dirt Track at Charlotte. Champions from the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, World of Outlaws Late Models Series and Super DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds will be crowned at the end of the night. SPEED TV will begin live coverage of the event at 8 P.M. EST with Ralph Sheheen, Brad Doty and Shane Andrews in the booth. Roger Slack and Bobby Gerould will report from the pits during the four hour television event.

The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series is brought to fans across the country by many important sponsors and partners, including: Armor All (Official Car Care Products), STP (Official Fuel Treatment), Goodyear Tires (Official Tire), Chizmark & Larson Insurance , Factory Motor Parts, VP Racing (Official Racing Fuel), Vicci (Official Apparel); in addition to contingency sponsors, Jake's Custom Golf Carts, RacingJunk.com KSE Race Products, Racing Electronics, S&S Volvo and R2C Performance; Engine Builder's Challenge participants Don Ott Racing Engines, Kistler Engines, Shaver Specialties and Speedway Engines; and Chassis Builder's Challenge participants J&J Auto Racing, Maxim Racing and XXX Race Company.

CONCORD, N.C. — November 3, 2011 — After crisscrossing the country on one of the most grueling schedules in racing, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series began their final weekend of racing in the fifth annual Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Nature’s Own. Before they could find out who would be taking the final checkered flags of the season, 55 drivers and teams had to time in for Friday and Saturday night’s event in the Kellogg’s Qualifying Night. When the dust settled, it was Sam Hafertepe Jr. timing in quickest for Friday night’s event.

“This was probably the best car I have ever had here,” said Hafertepe Jr., a Sunnyvale, Tex. native. “Having a good car tonight means a lot and also means we will probably have a good car for the rest of the weekend. The track was in excellent shape.”

(Click here to listen to an interview with Hafertepe Jr.)

Qualifying for Saturday night’s field was nearing the halfway point when excessive rain showers forced it’s postponement. Time Trials for Saturday night’s event will now be held Friday evening after hot laps.

Heading into the final two events of the season, Jason Meyers has already clinched his second consecutive World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series but will try to once again sweep the Lowes Foods World Finals. The Clovis, Calif. native won both races last season ending weekend at the Dirt Track at Charlotte to lock up his first series title. Second in the championship standings and fighting to hold off 20-time series champion Steve Kinser is Donny Schatz. The Fargo, N.D. resident is looking to add to his win total at the Dirt Track at Charlotte which currently sits at four. Kinser, a Bloomington, Ind. native, sits third in the series points and is well within striking distance of his Tony Stewart Racing teammate.

Joey Saldana, Paul McMahan, Cody Darrah and Brad Sweet will look to put Kasey Kahne Racing in victory lane once again at the Dirt Track at Charlotte. McMahan won the Outlaw Showdown in May, the first of four victories during the 2011 season.

Regular series stars like Kraig Kinser, Craig Dollansky, Jason Sides, Lucas Wolfe and several more drivers from across the world will look to race their way into victory lane in the fifth annual Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Nature’s Own. Tickets are still available by going to www.CharlotteMotorSpeedway.com. Saturday night’s season ending event will be telecast live on SPEED starting at 8 P.M. EST. Veteran motorsports personality Ralph Sheheen will have the call with color commentary provided by Brad Doty and Shane Andrews. Bobby Gerould and Roger Slack will be patrolling the pits in the live, four hour broadcast.

The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series is brought to fans across the country by many important sponsors and partners, including: Armor All (Official Car Care Products), STP (Official Fuel Treatment), Goodyear Tires (Official Tire), Chizmark Larson Insurance , Factory Motor Parts, VP Racing (Official Racing Fuel), Vicci (Official Apparel); in addition to contingency sponsors, Jake's Custom Golf Carts, RacingJunk.com KSE Race Products, Racing Electronics, S&S Volvo and R2C Performance; Engine Builder's Challenge participants Don Ott Racing Engines, Kistler Engines, Shaver Specialties and Speedway Engines; and Chassis Builder's Challenge participants J&J Auto Racing, Maxim Racing and XXX Race Company.

CONCORD, N.C. — Oct. 28, 2011 — In a day and age where information and news moves faster than sprint cars around a quarter-mile bull ring, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series drivers, teams and officials use social media to keep fans and media informed about what’s going on at the track. With services that provide real time updates and a wealth of content, an explosion of information is available that didn’t exist five years ago.

“The social networking aspect of this sport has grown quickly,” said Chris Dolack, Vice President of Public Relations for World Racing Group. “We now have the ability, through such platforms as Facebook and Twitter, to reach our fans and media partners on a much more frequent and informal basis. In addition to the quickness of the updates and news, we can also push different forms of media including print articles, podcasts, videos and more. It’s very exciting to see how we’ve adapted these technologies to work in our sport and to reach new fans.”

Perhaps one of the most important features of the social networks for fans and media members alike is the posting of race lineups and finishes along with pictures and videos from the track during the race.

“Having lineups and finishes posted within minutes allows people to keep track of what’s going on at the track even if they aren’t there,” Dolack said. “It also allows us to bring a little fun into PR, especially with on Twitter, where we can connect directly with fans. For example, we had a good time interacting with the Beer Hill Gang at Williams Grove Speedway weeks before we arrived for the Morgan Cup Challenge. It’s tough to accomplish that kind of interaction through traditional PR routes, and it creates some positive energy around an event.”

While the series itself uses the technologies to keep followers from around the world up to date about the events, many drivers and team members have taken to social media to give fans a behind the scenes look at what it’s like to be on the tour.

“It gives me an opportunity to share the reality of what we do in real time,” said Jason Meyers, the defending World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion who is leading the series into the Lowes Foods World Finals Presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Nature’s Own on Thursday at The Dirt Track at Charlotte. “I am still a rookie in regards to my tweets, but I am learning. Social media is the wave of the future, and will only become more prevalent over the next couple of years as everyone from a 4-year-old to grandparents become accustomed to its speed and utility. We are still learning how to best use it in our world of sprint car racing and to also share our world with those that do not know about it.”

As social media and other Web 2.0 technologies evolve, the goals and ambitions for what can be distributed across will grow.

“I’m excited to see what more we can accomplish as the technology changes and gets better,” Dolack said. “We recently launched our own World of Outlaws Facebook page and fans can go there and participate in a contest that will see the winner earn a trip for two to the 41st Annual UNOH DIRTcar Nationals. We’ve also seen tremendous growth with our videos this year and we want to continue that growth. We want to be able to improve the quality of our messages and be able to distribute them to more platforms in the coming years. I think we’ve only begun to scratch the service.”

Screven Motor Speedway Management Cancels World of Outlaws Late Model Series Event Set For Wed., Nov. 2

SYLVANIA, GA – Oct. 24, 2011 – The World of Outlaws Late Model Series event scheduled for Wed., Nov. 2, at Screven Motor Speedway has been canceled, track owner Redd Griffin announced on Monday.

The national tour was set to compete at the three-eighths-mile oval as part of the track’s rescheduled ‘Winter Freeze’ program, a doubleheader featuring dirt Late Models and the All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series that was rained out on its original date in February. Griffin added a World of Outlaws sanction to the full-fender portion of the twinbill after the WoO LMS’s lone 2011 visit to Screven on March 26 was washed out by thunderstorms.

Griffin scheduled a blockbuster program for Nov. 2 – upping the normal WoO LMS first-place prize to $12,000 to go along with an All-Star Sprint Car A-Main paying $10,000 to win – but reluctantly decided to cancel the event after market forces combined with the mid-week date forced him to reevaluate its financial viability.

“I would like to apologize for making a very bad rescheduling decision on our inaugural Winter Freeze (event) rain-out back in February 2011,” Griffin told fans and racers in an open letter announcing the cancelation. “Unfortunately, the (Nov. 2) show will be cancelled due to many fans expressing that a Wednesday night will be impossible to support. November 2 is a work night – and most of all a school night for the kids – and without that support running this show would be a bad financial decision for the track.

“I understand that this may upset many fans that were planning to come down to attend this show prior to the World Finals at (The Dirt Track at) Charlotte (on Nov. 3-5). At first, this seemed to be the best time to catch the 410 Sprinters that rarely make their way south. However, from the response that I have received through phone, e-mails and personal contact, most have said that it is too difficult to plan to attend a show on a week night (in November).”

Griffin said that fans and racers holding rainchecks from February’s ‘Winter Freeze’ and/or the rained-out WoO LMS event on March 26 will be able to use them for entrance for any remaining events in 2011 at Screven or for the bigger-and-better 2012 version of the ‘Winter Freeze,’ which will run from Feb. 9-11 and headline the WoO LMS in a season-opening 60-lap, $20,000-to-win A-Main.

Complete details of the 2012 ‘Winter Freeze’ are still being formulated, but Griffin has announced that the weekend will also include the All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series running $5,000-to-win events on both Fri., Feb. 10, and Sat., Feb. 11. WoO LMS time trials and heat races will take place on Friday evening and last-chance events and the ‘Winter Freeze’ A-Main will run on Saturday night.

Additional info on Screven Motor Speedway can be obtained by logging on to www.screvenmotorspeedway.com.

With the cancelation of the Nov. 2 card at Screven, the WoO LMS now heads into the season-ending Lowes Foods World of Outlaws World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Nature’s Own on Nov. 3-5 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C., with Rick Eckert of York, Pa., leading the circuit’s standings by 14 points over two-time defending champion Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va. A pair of 50-lap, $10,000-to-win A-Mains comprise the Late Model portion of the World Finals, which also includes doubleheaders for the WoO Sprint Car Series and the Super DIRTcar Series for Big-Block Modifieds.

Lowes Food World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Natures Own

CONCORD, N.C. — October 24, 2011 — This is it. In one final weekend, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series will conclude its 2011 season. As the series returns to the Dirt Track at Charlotte for the second time this season, many drivers and crews will look for this race to close out the year on a strong note and spring board into the 2012 DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park.

Clovis, Calif. native Jason Meyers carries a huge points lead into the Lowes Foods World Finals presented by Tom’s Snacks, Coca-Cola and Natures Own. Meyers will be looking to lock up his second consecutive series title with a strong time trial effort on Kelloggs Qualifying Night. From there, he’ll have to race his way through the final two races of the season against the likes of Steve Kinser, Donny Schatz and more. The season ending race will be televised live on SPEED starting at 8 P.M. eastern and will feature the finales of the World of Outlaws Late Models and Super DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds.
