INDIANAPOLIS (June 24, 2011) – In the fast-paced world of motorsports, the theory of slowing down to go fast is somewhat of an anomaly. You have to have speed, but making the best laps isn’t always calculated by miles per hour. The World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Series competitors are regularly challenged by competing on tracks of varying sizes. The big half-miles squeeze every ounce of power from the 800-plus-horsepower winged cars, but the tight quarter-mile tracks require the drivers to use a lot more finesse.

By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
SARVER, PA – June 23, 2011 – Josh Richards began the fifth annual Firecracker 100 presented by GottaRace.com weekend at Lernerville Speedway exactly the same way he did a year ago – with a convincing victory in Thursday night’s first 30-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series preliminary A-Main.
Back in his father Mark’s familiar Rocket Chassis house car No. 1 after scoring his first WoO LMS win of 2011 behind the wheel of the Ernie Davis-owned No. 25 on June 18 at Winchester (Va.) Speedway, the 23-year-old star from Shinnston, W.Va., passed Steve Shaver of Vienna, W.Va., for the lead on lap five and never looked back. He pocketed a $6,000 top prize and assured himself a pole starting spot in a heat race for Saturday night’s $30,000-to-win Firecracker 100.
