Granger, IA—June 12, 2011—Knoxville Raceway has been pretty good to Kraig Kinser over the years. In 2005, he won at the track for the first time and later that same season he made history winning the Knoxville Nationals, to make he and his father Steve, the first father/son duo to ever win Sprint Car Racing’s biggest event. The famed track continued to smile on the third generation driver this past weekend as he made his first start at the legendary half-mile aboard the Casey’s General Store Maxim for the Parsons Motorsports team, based less than an hour away in Granger, Iowa. Kinser picked up a solid ninth-place finish in the 25-lap main event of the Mediacom Shootout on Saturday, June 11.

TSR Takes to Knoxville
The World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Series continued its 2011 campaign across North America and a familiar theme continues to play out. Mother Nature has been the toughest competitor of all and once again prevailed in Friday’s opener of the Mediacom Shootout at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway. It was the ninth race in the series’ first 27 of 2011 affected by weather. Fortunately, Saturday’s weather was perfect for the second night of the program, and Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Donny Schatz raced the TSR No. 15 STP/Armor All/Chevrolet J&J to a fourth-place finish in the 25-lap A-Feature.
