Sprint Cars

INDIANAPOLIS (Aug. 31, 2011) – The World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series season is a long and grueling journey that starts in February and ends in November. Over the course of the 10-month season, drivers and teams are put in numerous situations that test every aspect of their competitive spirit. After a weekend in oil-rich Edmonton, Alberta, Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Steve Kinser and Donny Schatz will venture to the great Northwest for three nights of racing over the Labor Day weekend. The action begins with races at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash., on Friday and Saturday nights and concludes Monday with an event at Cottage Grove (Ore.) Speedway.

Edmonton, Canada has many nick names. This week after racing at Black Hills Speedway, Jason Meyers and his Elite Racing team traveled to “The Gateway of the North.” When they arrived in the “Oil City,” it seemed fitting that the 2010 Oil Cup and World of Outlaws champion would walk away victorious from “The City of Champions.” During the first night of action in the “River City” Meyers rolled to his fourth win of the season. The second night was not quite as festive in the “The Festival City” as the team would come close to pulling off the sweep but fell short. When the team left “E-Town,” they still held their heads high as they lead the point standings by 87 points going into the West Coast Tour.

The World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Series made its second stop north of the border this past weekend and the Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) tandem of Steve Kinser and Donny Schatz made its presence known in the fifth annual Oil City Cup at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta. Schatz, who has been very fast behind the wheel of the TSR No. 15 STP/Armor All/Chevrolet J&J since the calendar turned to August, was in contention for victory both nights only to come up one spot short on Friday and three laps short of victory on Saturday. Kinser, who came into the Oil City Cup with two wins and a runner-up finish in his previous three races, charged into the top-five Friday in the TSR No. 11 Bass Pro Shops/J.D. Byrider/ Chevrolet Maxim before being involved in a late accident, then led the first 19 laps on Saturday before ultimately finishing third.

Granger, IA—August 28, 2011—In Sprint Car Racing, everything has to be taken in stride and put in the proper perspective, as another race is usually just around the corner. After seeing likely fifth and sixth-place finishes vanish on consecutive nights in the waning laps, due to some bad luck, Kraig Kinser and the Casey’s General Store team made up for that in the finale of the 5^th Annual Oil City Cup at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on Saturday night, coming home in the sixth position to wrap up the World of Outlaws five-race Great Northern Tour.
