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.

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.”

 

Jason Meyers ended up fourth in the GLR Investments KPC, with Craig Dollansky fifth in the Big Game Treestands Maxim. Jason Sides was sixth in the Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim. David Gravel matched the best finish of his career with the World of Outlaws, coming home seventh in the JaneDoeNoMore.org J&J.

 

Joey Saldana, the current World of Outlaws point leader, finished eighth in the Budweiser Maxim, with Danny Lasoski ninth in the Casey’s General Stores JEI. Paul McMahan rounded out the Top-10 in the Great Clips Maxim.

 

The World of Outlaws return to action on Tuesday, July 27 at Autodrome Drummond in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada for an inaugural event.

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 15th 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 18th 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.

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 11th 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.

NEWS & NOTES

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.

 

·         Joey Saldana has two career wins in Canada, with both of those coming at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton last season. He has also won in Australia and New Zealand during his career.

 

·         Steve Kinser picked up his first win in Canada in 2008 at Castrol Raceway, adding to wins he has in Australia, Mexico and New Zealand.

 

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

 

·         Paul McMahan heads to Autodrome Drummond as the most consistent driver on the circuit over the last 11 races, scoring nine Top-Five finishes and 10 Top-10’s in that span.

 

·         Toni Lutar, one of the contenders for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award this season, hails from Canada, as he calls White Rock, British Columbia home.

World 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.
