(Bill W) May 2, 2012 – Kerry Madsen and the Keneric Racing #29 team can claim they were one of the fastest cars on the World of Outlaws tour last week. After leading at Farmer City before contact with another car, and getting caught up in a lapped traffic tangle in the top five at Knoxville Raceway, they are looking forward to this weekend’s event at Eldora Speedway in Ohio.
Team Reports
Kraig Kinser Heads to the Historic Eldora Speedway this Weekend
Bloomington, Ind. — May 2, 2012 — Kraig Kinser has been going to Eldora Speedway for as long as he can remember, and no matter how many times he visits the legendary track, he still gets goose bumps each and every time he crosses the back straightaway to head into the infield, knowing the history and aura of the famed Ohio half-mile.
Tony Stewart Racing Tandem Feeling the Need for Speed at Eldora
INDIANAPOLIS (May 2, 2012) – Getting behind the wheel of any racecar takes a lot of nerve. Jumping in one that weighs in the neighborhood of 1,200 pounds and possesses more than 900 horsepower can be a little overwhelming. There isn’t much that intimidates the adrenaline junkies known as the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series, but if there were a track that might, it’d be the famed high banks of Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The speed, coupled with the G-forces a driver feels circling the half-mile dirt oval owned by Tony Stewart, pushes the limits of bravery. It’s the thrill of being the best at Eldora that outweighs any sort of reluctance from the best Sprint car drivers in the world.
Dollansky Runner-Up at Knoxville
In sprint car racing no stage shines brighter than Knoxville Raceway. On Saturday, Craig Dollansky and the rest of the World of Outlaws made their first of two visits to the historic half-mile in preparation of the biggest sprint car weekend in the world in August.
Schatz Picks Up Outlaws Victory Number Three
Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Donny Schatz and Steve Kinser competed in a pair of World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Series events last week at Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway and Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway. Schatz earned his third victory of the 2012 WoO campaign at Farmer City Wednesday aboard the TSR No. 15 No. 15 STP/Armor All/Chevrolet J&J, while Kinser advanced the TSR No. 11 Bass Pro Shops/J.D. Byrider/Chevrolet Maxim 15 positions in the same 40-lap race. Saturday at Knoxville, Schatz and Kinser each started outside the top-10 but both drove forward with Schatz ultimately finishing sixth and Kinser 11th.
Kraig Kinser Perseveres at Knoxville
Bloomington, Ind. — April 29, 2012 — One of the great things about competing with the World of Outlaws is that there is always another race just around the corner, to quickly put a tough night in the rearview mirror. After some bad luck on the first lap of the main event of the Mediacom Shootout on Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway in Iowa, Kraig Kinser and his team dug deep, and persevered after making a couple of trips to the work area during the A-Feature, and were able to finish the main event.
Strong Run Erased at Farmer City for Dollansky
It had been almost a decade since the World of Outlaws raced at Farmer City Raceway in central Illinois but on Wednesday Craig Dollansky and the Big Game Treestands #7 team returned to the tight bullring for the first time since 2003 as they looked to carry over momentum from Saturday’s victory in Indiana.
Kraig Kinser Finishes a Season-Best Third at Farmer City; Moves up to Third in Points
Bloomington, Ind. — April 26, 2012 — Being a veteran of the sport, Kraig Kinser is well aware of the fact that on a tight quarter-mile bullring, such as Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway, anything and usually everything can and will happen. Sometimes a driver is the benefactor of such occurrences and sometimes they are the victim. For Kinser, he was the former, as he negotiated and maneuvered his way finish through a caution-filled 40-lap contest on Wednesday night to earn a season-best third-place finish. He also moved to the third position in the World of Outlaws championship standings in the process.
Kerry Madsen – Busy Week Ahead!

This week, the WoO has three events planned. Tonight, they will travel to Farmer City, Illinois, on Friday they tackle the high-banked Eagle (NE) Raceway, and Saturday, Knoxville (IA) Raceway will play host.
A Busy Week: Kraig Kinser Heads to Farmer City Raceway, Eagle Raceway & Knoxville Raceway
Bloomington, Ind. — April 24, 2012 — Kraig Kinser was not around yet when the World of Outlaws made their mark in the late 1970s and early 1980s, barnstorming the country, racing three, four and sometimes five times a week, but he is certainly well-versed in that history and has the utmost appreciation for it. The series will get back to their roots this week, as three racing program await the best sprint car drivers in the world at three vastly different tracks in three states in a four-day span.
