INDIANAPOLIS (March 29, 2012) – Versatility is a necessity if a team is to be successful racing with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series. One of the great challenges with dirt-track racing is that no two nights are the same. With so many variables being squeezed into the nightly equation, every race can feel like a final exam for the driver and crew.
Team Reports
Kerry Madsen – Merced/Calistoga Next for WoO!
(Bill W) March 28, 2012 – The weather keeps playing tricks on the World of Outlaws trip to California. The Friday night portion of the Mini-Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico was run, and Kerry Madsen and the Keneric Racing #29 team was in action. Saturday’s finale was canceled. The WoO heads to Merced Speedway in Merced and the Calistoga Speedway in Calistoga this weekend as the western swing concludes for them.
Kraig Kinser Wraps up the West Coast Swing this Weekend
Bloomington, Ind. — March 28, 2012 — Polar opposites. That’s the best way to describe Merced Speedway and Calistoga Speedway, the next two stops for Kraig Kinser on the World of Outlaws trail. Merced is a tight 1/3-third-mile bullring, and one of the smallest tracks on the schedule while Calistoga is a sprawling, expansive half-mile, and one of the largest venues on the circuit.
Schatz Dominates Outlaws’ Mini Gold Cup
For the second time in 2012, Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Donny Schatz led every lap of every race he competed in during a World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series event. Friday night, Schatz, driver of the TSR No. 15 STP/Armor All/Chevrolet J&J, earned flag-to-flag triumphs in his heat, the dash, and the 35-lap A-Feature to capture the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif.
Another Top 10 for Kraig Kinser in the Mini Gold Cup
Chico, Calif. — March 25, 2012 — It was déjà vu all over again for Kraig Kinser and the rest of the World of Outlaws this past weekend, as they battled Mother Nature on the first night of a scheduled two-day event for the second straight weekend, just slipping the opening show in, before inclement weather was victorious in the finale. This time it was at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif. and the Mini Gold Cup.
Kerry Madsen — Chico Up Next
(Bill W) March 21, 2012 – A racing deal put Kerry Madsen on his lid last Friday night at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, California. Instead of getting right back out on the track Saturday, rain intervened. The St. Mary’s, New South Wales, Australia native will have to wait until this weekend, when the World of Outlaws invade the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California for the Mini-Gold Cup.
Tony Stewart Racing Tandem Returns to Silver Dollar Speedway
INDIANAPOLIS (March 21, 2011) – If the results from the first half-dozen World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series races of 2012 are any indication of what is to follow, the 78-race season may end up being one of the most competitive ever. Five different drivers have already been victorious, including Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Donny Schatz. With the next event taking place at one of California’s most famous bullrings, Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., TSR’s Steve Kinser has to like the odds of him becoming the sixth winner of 2012.
Kraig Kinser Heads to Chico for the Mini Gold Cup
Bloomington, Ind. — March 20, 2012 — A driver knows they have made it when all someone has to do is say their first name and everyone knows exactly who they are talking about. The same goes for a track, when just the location of the track is mentioned and it’s instantly known what venue is being referred to. Chico happens to be one of those tracks. Silver Dollar Speedway to be exact, located at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, Calif.
Schatz’s Consistency Pushes Him Back on Top of Outlaw Standings
The World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Series competitors face just about everything during their 10-month season. Oftentimes, Mother Nature proves to be one of the toughest competitors. Racing prevailed on Friday night at the Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif., but the Outlaws lost their first race to rain on Saturday night. Donny Schatz led the two-car Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) team by finishing sixth in Friday night’s WoO A-Feature while Steve Kinser rebounded to finish seventh after some bad luck early in the main event.
Kraig Kinser Finishes 10th in Tulare
Tulare, Calif. — March 18, 2012 — With the solid start to the season that Kraig Kinser has had, he certainly didn’t want to hear the four-letter word that all racers dread most. Rain. With momentum on his side following a pair of Top-10 runs to open the eight-race West Coast swing for the World of Outlaws, the native of Bloomington, Ind. headed into Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare, Calif. looking to continue his consistent start to the 2012 campaign. When it was all said and done, the World of Outlaws scored one win at Thunderbowl Raceway and Mother Nature picked up a victory. The good news for Kinser was that he earned another Top-10 finish and remains fifth in the series standings.
