MECHANICSBURG, PA The greatest sprint car driver in World of Outlaws history proved he still has something left in the tank. Steve Kinser scored an impressive victory over a star-studded field Thursday night at Williams Grove Speedway in an event sponsored by Cleveland Brothers. Craig Keel took the lead at the start and set the early pace in the 25-lap feature with Lucas Wolfe second and Kinser third. Kinser, who started fourth in the 28-car field, slipped past Wolfe on lap seven and began to stalk the leader. Keel held on until lap 18 when Kinser used an inside move off turn two to take the lead. He was never challenged during the closing stages as he rolled to his 38th career victory at Williams Grove, which tied him with the late Kenny Weld for 7th place on the track's list of winners. |

Friday May 9th Williams Grove was rained out due to excessive rain all day. With the night off on Friday we made the trip out Saturday to Lincoln. We were scheduled to run two features due to an earlier rain out. In the first feature we started 16th and were up to 10th when a right rear wheel gave out causing Michael to get a flat with less than 10 laps to go. After the makeup feature was a regular schedule of events. Michael started in the second row of the first heat and was take out on lap 3 by a racing incident with Cory Haas.

Mechanicsburg, PA— May 14, 2008—When Lucas Wolfe first announced he was going to compete full-time with the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series in 2008, he had a couple of dates marked on his calendar, with the first of those being the series annual spring stop at Williams Grove Speedway in his home town.
The native of Mechanicsburg , Pennsylvania grew up in the shadows of the legendary half-mile and always dreamed of the day that he would wheel a car around the track, as well as the day he would be able to do it full-time with the World of Outlaws. He will have plenty of opportunities to do that this season, as the series will make three separate visits to the track for a total of six events in 2008.
Wolfe will make his first Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series starts at the track as a full-time member of the series on Thursday, May 15 and Friday, May 16. The event on Thursday will be 25 laps in length and pay $8,000 to-win, while Friday’s race will be 30 laps and pay $12,000 to the victor. On top of this, the cameras from SPEED will be in on hand each night to tape all of the action for broadcast on May 31 and June 8.

Sarver, PA — May 13, 2008— When Jason Meyers first took to the road full-time in 2000, the first track he won at was Lernerville Speedway in Sarver , Pennsylvania . He has been trying to return to Victory Lane at the high-banked four-tenths mile ever since that date with the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, coming close on a number of occasions. He left no doubt on Tuesday night, as he led the final 18 laps of the Commonwealth Clash to earn his series leading fourth A-Feature win of 2008 and second career triumph at Lernerville.
“It’s certainly more than we can ask for right now,” Meyers said, after the win. “These guys are doing a great job and everything is running well. We just have to keep it up. It’s going to be a long year and a long summer and we have to keep up what we are doing now. I’m just happy to see it all paying off for this team that works very hard every day. It means a lot to me and everyone involved in this team.”
Meyers lined up third for the 35-lap contest and actually fell back to fifth in the early going, before tracking down Chad Kemenah and then Jac Haudenschild. On the 12th lap, he slipped by early leader Dale Blaney to move into the runner-up spot. He then took the lead from Terry McCarl on the 18th lap exiting the four turn, as McCarl slipped up the banking. Late in the race, Haudenschild dove low in the first turn to take the lead, but Meyers again used a strong run off the fourth turn as Haudenschild slipped up the track to remain in the lead and was officially scored the leader at the line.
