Bloomington, Ind. — July 1, 2012 — Not much has been able to slow down Kraig Kinser over the last month on the World of Outlaws circuit. Mother Nature tried her best this past weekend, in the form of triple digit temperatures and a fast-approaching storm on Saturday night, but Kinser and his team stayed focused and turned in two more strong runs, highlighted by a runner-up performance at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas on Saturday night, which saw the third-generation driver lead the opening six laps. He began the weekend with a seventh-place showing at the Belleville High Banks on Friday night.

Swindell Strikes Before Lightning at Lakeside Speedway
He regains the World of Outlaws championship lead after series-best sixth win
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — June 30, 2012 — There was thunder and lightning Saturday evening at Lakeside Speedway after another scorching afternoon.
With high humidity and temperatures soaring into triple digits for the fourth consecutive race, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series was in hurry-up mode as a storm approached prior to the 30-lap feature at the half mile.
Sammy Swindell and Kraig Kinser set the tone from the drop of the green flag as lightning descended around the area midway through the main event. The duo battled neck and neck – even side by side at times – with Swindell crossing the finish line first by a car length.

The 48-year-old dirt Late Model legend overtook teenager Tyler Reddick of DuQuoin, Ill., for the lead on lap two and never looked back. He gracefully handled the race’s two restarts and outlasted the late-charging Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., to become the second two-time winner of the six-year-old World of Outlaws Late Model Series event.

BELLEVILLE, Kan. — June 29, 2012 — Kerry Madsen was as patient as anyone during the nearly 90-minute delay for track work prior to Friday’s feature.
Once he hit the track, it was a different story. Madsen picked up his second World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series victory in the past six races to cap a blistering day that featured temperatures in the triple digits at Belleville High Banks.
“That was well worth the wait,” he said with a big smile. “The track was awesome, wide open around the cushion.”

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — June 30, 2012 — Sammy Swindell rocketed by leader Kraig Kinser on a restart early and then held on amid lightning at Lakeside Speedway.
Kinser maintained a close second the rest of the race, but was unable to record the victory. It would have been his fourth in the last nine Outlaws races.
