From the World of Outlaws
BRANDON, S.D. โ Aug. 20, 2011 โ After a lackluster showing at the 51st Goodyear Knoxville Nationals, Steve Kinser and his #11 Bass Pro Shops/J.D. Byrider/ Chevrolet crew have found their groove again as the โKing of the Outlawsโ picked up his seventh win of the season and second win in a row. The Bloomington, Ind. native led the final 14 laps to claim the checkers at Husetโs Speedway in Brandon, S.D.
โItโs a great feeling to be back in victory lane for the second night in a row,โ said a grinning Kinser. โThe track started to rubber up a bit and we found something there about halfway through. It hooked up car really well and allowed us to get by the 14 and the 9. The whole crew really worked hard to get us back to where we were earlier this year and I think we are getting there. We certainly had a lot more speed the past two nights than we have had in the last month.โ
Kinser started the nightโs feature event in the 8th position as Kerry Madsen led the field to green with youngster Brad Sweet to his outside. Once the green flag flew, Sweet powered the #9 Red Bull Maxim to the lead and held on thru the first 21 circuits. Sweet had to hold off numerous challenges from second place finisher Jason Meyers. The Clovis, Calif. native was battling hard with Sweet when Kinser snuck by.
โAnother great run for us tonight in this All-Star Performance/DDNi/Media-Tile car,โ Meyers said. โBrad and I got to battling there pretty good and the track started laying rubber down. Thereโs not much left here on this right rear but we made it. Like I said, just another great night for us.โ
While he didnโt get the win, Meyers was able to extend his points lead over Donny Schatz who finished 22nd after an early race caution. Kinser and Schatz are now tied for second in the standings, both 89 markers back. Sweet wound up finishing third but was upbeat after leading early.
โWe had an awesome car tonight for sure,โ Sweet said. โWe had some pretty good battles going there with Steve and Jason. Weโll eventually learn how to win one of these things. Itโd be some great medicine for Joey back home to see the #9 car back in Victory Lane.โ
Terry McCarl was able to wheel his #55 machine to a fourth place finish with Sam Hafertepe Jr. rounding out the top-5. Pole sitter Madsen ran into some late race troubles and finished 15th. Early front runner Lucas Wolfe also had issues yet managed a tenth place finish.
The โGreat Northern Tourโ continues for the Outlaws as the series heads to Black Hills Speedway on Tuesday, Aug. 23 and then itโs onto Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on Aug. 26-27.

I want to thank all my family, friends and fans for their continued support. Iโll be back as soon as possible.โ
