Steve Kinser Wins Finale of DIRTcar
Nationals
Barberville, FL-
February 7, 2010-Heading into the 2010
season, 20-time World of Outlaws champion
Steve Kinser said that he felt better than
he had in two or three years, after having
off-season surgery to fix a bulging disc in
his neck. He started the season off very
strong and was in contention for wins in
each of the first three races of the 39th
Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by
University of Northwestern Ohio at Volusia
Speedway. Kinser sealed the deal on Sunday
night, picking up his first win of the
season and his first victory since joining
Tony Stewart Racing.
Kinser battled Tim
Kaeding for most of the 30-lap contest and
had
Joey Saldana challenging him in the
late going. For the Hall of Famer, it was
his third
career World of Outlaws A-Feature win
at
Volusia Speedway Park and his fifth
overall triumph at the half-mile. Kinser now
has 553 career A-Feature wins with the World
of Outlaws.
"It feels good to get
the first win of the year early on," Kinser
said. "The car got better as the race went
on and I had to let it come to me. I was
able to run low and also up top. I'm just
glad to be in Victory Lane. Thats what we
want to do, win races with this car."
Kinser lined up second
in the Bass Pro Shops Maxim and took the
lead for the first time on the 12th
lap from
Tim Kaeding in traffic. Kaeding took
the top spot back on the 16th lap
using the high side of turn four. Just two
laps later, Kinser was able to dive under
Kaeding in turn one to take the lead and
would pace the field for the rest of the
way. On the second and final double file
restart of the night, Kinser had Joey
Saldana to contend with, who was using the
extreme high side of the track to get a run
on the leader. Kinser used strong restarts
each time to hold down the top spot.
"The car was good on
the restarts," shard the native of
Bloomington, Ind. "We have been trying some
different things here lately and I think we
found a few that seem to work."
Kinser had a very
strong week at the DIRTcar Nationals,
finishing fourth or better in all four
events he competed in, with three of those
being podium runs. He leaves the Sunshine
State second in points, just three markers
behind his teammate
Donny Schatz as he chases his record
21st series title.
"We had a pretty good
week here and it was good to get back to the
track and racing again," noted Kinser. "We
still have some work to do and we'll go back
to the shop and keep plugging away. This is
a pretty good start to the year and we have
plenty of racing left."
Joey Saldana powered
his way from the eighth starting spot to a
runner-up finish in the Budweiser Maxim. He
tracked Kinser down late in the race and got
along side of him a couple of times on the
23rd and 24th laps,
but was not able to make a pass. Saldana was
up to third just seven laps into the race,
passing Donny Schatz,
Craig Dollansky and Jason Sides along
the way.
"We had a very good car
tonight and it's a good run to finish
second," Saldana said. "I am disappointed
though, because I feel like we had a better
car than he did I was able to track him down
a couple of times and just about had him
passed once and feel like we should have won
this race. We'll keep working hard and go
from here."
Saldana, who finished
first or second in all four races at
Volusia, earned the overall DIRTcar
Nationals championship for his strong
performance over the course of the week,
which brought drivers from across the
country to the half-mile. He is currently
tied with Kinser for the second spot in
points as he chases his first series
championship.
"It does feel good to
win the overall title with all of the strong
cars that were here," stated the second
generation driver. "We started eighth a
couple of times and fifth and were able to
pass very strong cars. We are doing the
right things and if we keep at it, we'll get
the wins."
Danny Lasoski
passed more cars than any other driver on
Sunday night. The 2001 series champion lined
up 14th and wound up third in the
Caseys General Stores JEI to earn the KSE
Hard Charger Award. On the double file
restart on the 15th lap, he
powered his way from eighth to fifth as he
marched toward the front of the field.
"I'm very happy for
this entire team," Lasoski said. "We didn't
quite start the week how we wanted and to
finish on a strong note like this is great.
Barry (Jackson), Pete (Stephens) and Cody
(Jacobs) worked very hard all week and
certainly deserved a strong finish like
this."
Donny Schatz, the
four-time and defending series champion, who
won on Saturday night came home fourth in
the Armor All J&J and left the Sunshine
State as the series championship point
leader as he chases his fifth consecutive
title.
Tim Kaeding led 13 laps
aboard the DTR Transport KPC and ended up
fifth. Jason Meyers was sixth in the GLR
Investments KPC, with Craig Dollansky
seventh aboard the Big Game Treestands
Maxim. Terry McCarl was eighth also in the
Big Game Treestands Maxim. Jason Sides set
fast time for the second consecutive night
and wound up ninth piloting the Wetherington
Tractor Service Maxim. Paul McMahan rounded
out the Top-10 in the Indy Race Parts Eagle.
The World of Outlaws

Again:
Donny Schatz Wins 2010 World of
Outlaws Season Opener
Barberville,
FL-February 6, 2010-Donny Schatz wrapped up
2009 standing on top of the podium after
claiming his fourth consecutive World of
Outlaws title, and he began the 2010 season
on top again taking the win on Saturday
night in the season opening 39th
Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by
University of Northwestern Ohio at
Volusia Speedway Park.
Schatz lined up third
in the Armor All J&J and quickly moved into
second and then battled Tim Shaffer and led
the first lap, before the latter retook the
top spot on the second circuit. Schatz
tracked Shaffer back down in lapped traffic
and drove under him on the 12th
lap in turn one to take the lead. He would
lead the remainder of the 30-lapper,
including after two double file restarts to
score the win over Joey Saldana and
Steve Kinser.
"That's the way to
start, thats awesome," said Schatz.
"Everyone has their cars stuck so hard that
it puts it more on the drivers and that's
what I like to see. I'm glad to get the win.
Normally I don't run well on the top when
its fast, but I could go all over. The guys
have been working pretty hard and we have
been playing since we got to Ocala. We
learned a lot of things and I think we have
five or six nights ahead of everyone,
hopefully."
For Schatz, the $10,000
victory was his
fourth World of Outlaws A-Feature win
at Volusia Speedway Park and his ninth
career victory at the track. He has claimed
the season opener in three of the four
years. The North Dakota native has finished
eighth or better in eight straight events
with the series at the half-mile.
"This place is so much
different than it used to be," explained
Schatz. "It used to have sand on it and now
it has more clay and it changed the surface
a little bit. It's great to see the races
when you get two grooves and you can run the
bottom and the top. That is all you can ask
for in a race track."
Saldana, who won
earlier in the week in the DIRTcar Nationals
in an event under the All Star Circuit of
Champions banner, finished second aboard the
Budweiser Maxim on Saturday night to earn
his third straight podium at the half-mile.
He lined up eighth and steadily worked his
way to the front.
"We've had a good car
these last three races and the cool part is
that we have been passing cars to get to
first and second," shared Saldana. "We're
doing everything right. We're learning our
race cars with these new tires. We'll come
back tomorrow and try to get a win."
Schatz battled Jason
Meyers early in the race while Shaffer
opened a slight lead before the pair closed
back in on the leader in lapped traffic 10
laps into the main event. After Schatz took
the lead from Shaffer, Meyers closed in and
began to battle for the runner-up spot with
Saldana in the mix as well.
The first caution of
the season flew on the 15th lap
leading to the first double file restart of
the year. Schatz chose the inside line for
the restart and used a strong start to lead
the field into turn one, with Saldana nearly
taking the second spot from Shaffer.
Meyers moved into
second on lap-18 and was closing on Schatz
when the caution flew on the very next
circuit. On the restart, Schatz again chose
the inside lane and opened a couple of car
length lead while Saldana powered his way
around the top to come from fourth to
second.
Schatz continued to
pull away as he entered lapped traffic with
six laps to go. At the same time, Steve
Kinser and Meyer battled for third, with the
former eventually taking the final spot on
the podium. Schatz negotiated traffic down
the stretch to score the 101st
A-Feature win of his World of Outlaws
career.
In his
first World of Outlaws race for
Tony Stewart Racing, 20-time series
champion Steve Kinser, finished third in the
Bass Pro Shops Maxim on Saturday night. He
fell back to sixth early in the race and
began to work his way back up after that,
including battling his son Kraig for a
number of laps.
"We went a little bit
overboard on the set-up," shared the Hall of
Famer. "It's a little different car than we
normally run so we're playing with it a
little bit. I can't complain, but I'm still
a little bit disappointed."
Jason Meyers finished
fourth in the GLR Investments KPC to earn
his seventh consecutive Top-10 finish in a
World of Outlaws event at Volusia Speedway
Park. Tim Shaffer wound up leading a total
of 10 laps aboard the Kistler Engines J&J
and came home fifth.
Kraig Kinser
was sixth in his return to his father's team
aboard the Quaker State Maxim. Lucas Wolfe
came all the way from the 22nd
starting spot to finish seventh in the
Allebach Racing Maxim. Lance Dewease was
eighth in the Advance Development Systems
J&J, with Jason Sides ninth aboard the
Wetherington Tractor Service Maxim. Mark
Smith rounded out the Top-10 in the Brickers
French Fries Mach 1.
Saldana, who led the
World of Outlaws with 20 A-Feature wins last
season, is the current point leader in the
battle for the overall DIRTcar Nationals
titles, which he has come close to winning a
couple of times in the past. Steve Kinser is
currently second in event points, with
Craig Dollansky third, Donny Schatz
fourth and Jason Meyers fifth.
"We just have to keep
doing what we are doing," said Saldana. "If
we keep running how we are, we're bound to
win a race. It may not be tomorrow, but if
you start eighth and run second, you are
definitely making progress all night and are
doing the right things. I know we worked our
way up there and back and then up there
again racing some real tough competitors.
It's been a great performance for this team
all three nights."
The World of Outlaws
wrap up the sprint car portion of the 39th
Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by
University of Northwestern Ohio on Sunday
night at Volusia Speedway Park.
