Windom, MN — (March 24, 2015) — The excitement is building for the season opener for the new National Sprint League! The event at the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa on Saturday, April 11 is even bigger with the addition to the field of the “King of the Outlaws” Steve Kinser! The 20-time World of Outlaws champion and 12-time Knoxville Nationals champion will be piloting the #11 Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance/J&J for Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing.
“The King” joins an already anticipated stellar field that will include the best of the current 36-member National Sprint League, as well as other top sprint car drivers from throughout the Midwest. 34 Raceway’s banked 3/8-mile oval will be the perfect test to open the inaugural season for the National Sprint League!
Kinser is expected to be joined by fellow National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee Danny Lasoski, Seven-time Knoxville Raceway champion, Terry McCarl, World Finals champ Brian Brown, Seven-time and defending IRA champion, Bill Balog, defending Knoxville Raceway champ, Ian Madsen, Nine-time Australian World Series Sprintcars champion, Brooke Tatnell, Two-time USAC National Sprint car and Midget champion and Indy 500 driver, Bryan Clauson, California’s Tim Kaeding, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota’s Dusty Zomer as some of the drivers expected to be in attendance.
McCarl, Brown and Kaeding have already won World of Outlaws events this season, and Zomer has picked off a pair of ASCS regional victories. Kinser and Lasoski both picked up wins at the “Winter Heat” event at Cocopah Speedway in Yuma, Arizona.
Kinser spent his last full season on the World of Outlaws tour in 2014. He is widely known as the greatest sprint car driver in history, having accumulated over 575 wins with the World of Outlaws series alone. He has wins with virtually every racing series in the United States and Australia, and has won every major sprint car race at least once.
Recent 410 winners at 34 Raceway include McCarl and Brown last year with the MOWA series, and Donny Schatz with the World of Outlaws. McCarl, Balog and Brown completed the top four with the Outlaws last June. Madsen and Lasoski are also winners in recent years at 34 Raceway.
