Barberville, FL- February 7, 2010-Heading into the 2010 season, 20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser said that he felt better than he had in two or three years, after having off-season surgery to fix a bulging disc in his neck. He started the season off very strong and was in contention for wins in each of the first three races of the 39^th Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio at Volusia Speedway. Kinser sealed the deal on Sunday night, picking up his first win of the season and his first victory since joining Tony Stewart Racing.

Kinser battled Tim Kaeding for most of the 30-lap contest and had Joey Saldana challenging him in the late going. For the Hall of Famer, it was his third career World of Outlaws A-Feature win at Volusia Speedway Park and his fifth overall triumph at the half-mile. Kinser now has 553 career A-Feature wins with the World of Outlaws.

"It feels good to get the first win of the year early on," Kinser said. "The car got better as the race went on and I had to let it come to me. I was able to run low and also up top. I'm just glad to be in Victory Lane. Thats what we want to do, win races with this car."

in Battle for Overall DIRTcar Nationals Title: One Race Remains Tonight

Barberville, FL-February 7, 2010-Joey Saldana has had nearly a perfect week at the 39^th Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio, winning once and finishing second twice, to lead the overall standings for the sprint car portion of the season opening event at Volusia Speedway Park. Just one more night of racing remains for the World of Outlaws tonight as Saldana looks for his first event title at the half-mile.

Saldana currently leads 20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser, Craig Dollansky, who won during the DIRTcar Nationals back on Wednesday and four-time and defending World of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz, who was victorious on Saturday night.

Barberville, FL-February 6, 2010-Donny Schatz wrapped up 2009 standing on top of the podium after claiming his fourth consecutive World of Outlaws title, and he began the 2010 season on top again taking the win on Saturday night in the season opening 39^th Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio at Volusia Speedway Park.

Schatz lined up third in the Armor All J&J and quickly moved into second and then battled Tim Shaffer and led the first lap, before the latter retook the top spot on the second circuit. Schatz tracked Shaffer back down in lapped traffic and drove under him on the 12^th lap in turn one to take the lead. He would lead the remainder of the 30-lapper, including after two double file restarts to score the win over Joey Saldana and Steve Kinser.

"That's the way to start, thats awesome," said Schatz. "Everyone has their cars stuck so hard that it puts it more on the drivers and that's what I like to see. I'm glad to get the win. Normally I don't run well on the top when its fast, but I could go all over. The guys have been working pretty hard and we have been playing since we got to Ocala. We learned a lot of things and I think we have five or six nights ahead of everyone, hopefully."

Just posted are a handful of shots taken at Lincoln Speedway Saturday afternoon once the roads were plowed well enough for travel. As you can see like everywhere else in Central PA, Lincoln got hit with over 2ft of the white stuff over night Friday into Saurday. While it's an interesting sight. I don't think we can classify it as "beautiful" since opening day is only 3 weeks away. Check out the rest in the PA Posse Photo Gallery.

Ready for World of Outlaws Season Opener

Barberville, FL-February 5, 2010-The wait for the 2010 World of Outlaws season opener is finally over, with anticipation at a fever pitch as the best sprint car drivers in the world have converged on Volusia Speedway Park for the 39^th Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by University of Northwestern Ohio. Craig Dollansky and Joey Saldana opened the sprint car portion of the event in Victory Lane on Wednesday and Thursday as they geared up for the World of Outlaws three-day lid lifter in the Sunshine State, which begins tonight and runs through Sunday.

For Dollansky, who has won the overall DIRTcar Nationals title in two of the last three years, the win on Wednesday in the event under the All Star Circuit of Champions banner was his fourth career triumph at Volusia Speedway Park. He followed that up with a runner-up finish on Thursday night to earn his 25^th career Top-Five finish at the track.

The “Freedom 40” on July 31 will mark the return of USAC Sprint car racing to K-C Raceway in Alma, Ohio. The race is part of the 2010 Amsoil USAC National Sprint Car Series.

“I remember it was a real nice track,” says Darland, who hasn’t been back to K-C since his victory. “It had a nice cushion and a lot of banking. That night, the cushion was the place to be and it worked for me. I don’t remember passing a lot of people so I must have led most of the race. It’ll be fun to go back and I’m sure we’ll put on a great show for the fans.”

Camargo, IL (2-4-10) – By Kelly Brown –Public Relations Director –Tonight Saldana won his first race of the season in a convincing fashion after running second on the previous night at Volusia.

Starting on the front row of tonight’s feature event was Craig Dollansky and Greg Hodnett. When the green banner waved over the A-main, Hodnett quickly took the lead. Drag racing down the back stretch on the first lap Saldana was able to move up to second, after beginning his night in the fifth position, while Dollansky settled into third. It only took until the second revolution of the track for Saldana to take the lead in Turn 4. Hodnett would fight back in the low line, while Saldana stayed high. For about three laps the two traded the lead in about every corner, but Saldana was able to establish himself in the lead.

While the top two were battling, Dollansky was being pursued by Donny Schatz as the two fought for third. Dollansky would get the edge, and Schatz would fall into the clutches of Steve Kinser. Kinser would get around Schatz for fourth momentarily. The two then ran wheel-to-wheel for a lap, but Schatz got the edge retaking the fourth position. Just as Saldana and Hodnett were running side-by-side in traffic, the first caution flag of the night came out on Lap 8. It was for Doug Esh who has slowed in Turn 1 with a flat tire.

On the restart, the track did not stay green for long. One lap was recorded before Hodnett who was running second at the time slowed with a flat left rear tire. When racing resumed, it would be Saldana, Dollansky, Kinser, Lasoski and Schatz lining up in the top-five. The Green Flag would fly again, but almost instantly the track went yellow as Schatz slowed with a flat right rear and a missing right front tire.
