Bloomington, Ind. — June 20, 2012 — A new breed of Outlaws rolled into Dodge City in 2004, wheeling 900-horsepower winged sprint cars, and have been coming back to the town in southwestern Kansas, which celebrates the Old West, each and every year since, for the Boot Hill Showdown. Kraig Kinser was at Dodge City for the series inaugural event and has competed in a majority of the World of Outlaws events at the state-of-the-art three-eighths-mile dating back to that contest.

Lakeside Hosts Outlaws June 30
World of Outlaws Return to Lakeside Speedway on Saturday, June 30
Swindell and Steve Kinser have each won a series-best three times at the half mile
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — June 19, 2012 — Sammy Swindell has the distinct honor of winning at Lakeside Speedway on two different surfaces.
Swindell won on dirt in 1983 and on pavement in 1991 and 1992 at the semi-banked, half mile, which hosts the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series on Saturday, June 30.
Dirt fans, don’t worry. Lakeside Speedway is no longer paved and the track is better than ever after a flood ended last season early at the facility.
“That’s a really racy race track,” Chad Kemenah said. “It seems like cars get going all over – top, bottom, middle, everywhere. We always have a huge turnout of fans who come out and support that, which is really neat. It’s a fun race to race.”

Kraig Kinser Wraps up the Duel in the Dakotas with a Top-Five
Bloomington, Ind. — June 17, 2012 — In a sprint car race every lap is important, but the second half of an A-Feature event is crucial, and having a car that gets better as the race wears is a goal that every team shoots for. Kraig Kinser was able to make a late-race charge both nights this past weekend during the Duel in the Dakotas, winning the opener at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, on Friday night, and finishing fifth in the finale at Red River Valley Speedway in West Fargo, on Saturday to earn his 10th Top-10 Five finish of the season.

Lanigan Pushes Win Total To Six With Late-Race Pass Of McCreadie Sunday Night At Eriez Speedway
World of Outlaws Late Model Series Points Leader Victorious For Fourth Time In Last Six Events
By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director
HAMMETT, PA – June 17, 2012 – Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., maintained his status as top dog on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, cooling off the resurgent Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., with a late-race pass for the lead to win Sunday night’s 50-lap A-Main at Eriez Speedway.
Adding to his already commanding WoO LMS points lead, Lanigan, 42, turned up the wick on his Rocket car following a lap-41 restart and sailed by McCreadie on lap 44 to assume command for good. The circuit’s 2008 champion beat McCreadie, the 2006 World of Outlaws titlist, to the finish line by 0.867 of a second for his series-leading sixth victory of the 2012 season.

Swindell Slides to Fifth World of Outlaws Feature Victory of Season
Kemenah a close second in first Outlaws race at Red River Valley since 2009
FARGO, N.D. — June 16, 2012 — Sammy Swindell parked his dust-covered sprint car next to the grandstands and hopped onto the rear bumper, waving five fingers in the air to the roar of the crowd located only a couple feet away.
Victory Lane was almost as close as the racing on Saturday at Red River Valley Speedway, where the near-capacity crowd was treated to a handful of slide jobs in the final 10 laps and side-by-side racing throughout the first World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series feature at the 3/8-mile track since 2009.
“We were real close, but we weren’t roughing each other up,” Swindell said. “It was just good, clean fun. Even if I hadn’t have won, it still would have been fun because we did race each other hard and close and clean. I look forward to doing that every night if I can.
“As far as racing wheel to wheel that was definitely the best race.”
