To: Ginny and Kaleb Lindemann! You guys are amazing! I'm thinking about you! Cannot wait to see you! Love you guys!

JACKSON SPEEDWAY (JACKSON, MN.)- "The King" Steve Kinser (Pictured Left, #11) showed us once again why he is known as "The King of the Outlaws", winning Saturday night's A-Main event at Jackson Speedway.

Kinser held off the "Wild Child" Jac Haudenschild, who took a strong second place showing. Third belonged to Lucas Wolfe. KKR racer Paul McMahan raced his way to a fourth place finish, while Craig Dollansky rounded out the top five finishers.


Right behind Dollansky in sixth was Jason Meyers. Seventh place went to Saturday night's B-Main winner Tim Kaeding, while Jason Sides turned in another good run, finishing the night in eighth. Kinser's TSR teammate Donny Schatz came home in nineth, while Brooke Tatnell took the checkers in tenth place.

Other notable finishers from Saturday night's A-Main include Steve's son Kraig in 11th. Finishing right behind Kraig was the "Brownsburg Bullet" Joey Saldana in 12th. "The Dude" Danny Lasoski came home in 15th, while Sammy Swindell took a 19th place finish for Big Game Motorsports. Saturday night's fast time qualifier Sam Hafertepe Jr. finished the night in 22nd.

Next, the World of Outlaw Sprint Car Series will travel to Rossburg, Ohio, as they take on the "Big E"  Eldora Speedway for not one but two exciting, action-packed nights of racing, starting Friday, May 7th and wrapping up Saturday, May 8th.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL.- Dale Earnhardt Jr. will honor his father (Dale Earnhardt Sr.)'s upcoming induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, by running the vintage Wrangler's No. 3 at the Nationwide race on July 2nd. Dale Earnhardt Sr. will be inducted in the Hall of Fame on May 11th, as part of the first class of racing legends.

Finishes the night in 21st after late race collision

RICHMOND, VA.- Richard Petty Enterprises racer Kasey Kahne raced a special paint scheme (Pictured Left), honoring Darrell Waltrip's 1985 run to the NASCAR Championship. Kahne started Saturday night's race in 22nd, and kept the Budweiser #9 constantly in the top 20th, often flirting with the top ten. Unfortunately, Kahne was caught up in a late race wreck with Joey Logano, finishing the night in 21st.

Dungey, Weimer Gets It Done On Dirt

Written By: Matt "Night" Rider

In a season of ups and downs for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series, one rider remained constant. His name you ask? Rookie AMA Supercross star Ryan Dungey (Pictured Left, #5) who capped off the 2010 campaign with five A-Main victories and an AMA Supercross title. Dungey was the first to win an AMA Supercross title as a rookie, since "The King" Jeremy McGrath won it as a rookie in 1993. I salute Ryan Dungey on an amazing first season with the Monster Energy AMA Supercross tour and I look forward to covering him in the seasons to come.

Weimer Wins West Lites Championship

Jake Weimer (Pictured Right, #12) sealed up the West Lites Supercross Title this past weekend in Salt Lake City. Wil Hahn came on strong in the late stages of the season to take the second place spot in the points race, while third place Trey Canard returned to the West Lites scene after gaining valuable experience, racing the 450 cc Supercross class earlier in the year. Look for very bright futures from the top three points finishers from the West Lites Series.
