Tony Stewart Racing Team Looks Ahead To Memorial Day Weekend

The Circle K NOS Energy Outlaw Showdown is planned to take place at The Dirt Tack in Charlotte, NC Motor Speedway in front of a sellout crowd of more than 15,000 spectators on Friday evening. It has become a high-profile event with both Donny Schatz and Steve Kinser scheduled to race Friday night.  Schatz is seeking his second victory of the 2010 campaign and fourth overall in his career at the Charlotte track while Kinser, pilot of the No. 11 Bass Pro Shops/ JD Byrider Maxim, is chasing his third victory of the season and looks to move closer to the top of the WoO championship standings. The TSR drivers, who have combined to win the last nine consecutive WoO titles, are looking to continue their outstanding racing results at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

On Sunday, the Outlaws will make their debut at Tri-City Speedway, a high-banked, half-mile dirt oval located in western Pennsylvania. Kinser, who was once victorious at Tri-City Speedway, is looking forward to the possibility of another win.  Schatz will be making his first laps around the facility and hopes to make it the 51st track where he’s won a WoO A-Feature.

“We’ve got off to a good start this year. This deal with Tony Stewart Racing has really worked out well for all of us. Everybody is thinking about racing this time of year and, on Friday, we’ve got a chance to race in front of a lot of sponsors.”, Kinser said. “I guess we’re really hoping to come down to Charlotte and win the race. We’ve won a couple this year, but I also feel like we’ve let a couple get away. A win on Friday would really be a big boost to all of us on this Bass Pro Shops team.”

The pit gates at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway will open at 1pm on Friday with the grandstands opening at 4:30pm. The race is scheduled to start at 7:25pm. For more details go to www.charlottemotorspeedway.com

On Saturday, at Tri-City Speedway, the pit gates and grandstands open at 3pm with the race scheduled for 6:30pm. For more information on the Tri-City Speedway go to www.tricityspeedway.com
