Former Champions Steve Kinser, Danny Lasoski Reunite with World of Outlaws

CONCORD, N.C.--DIRT MotorSports, Inc. (OTCBB: DMSP) (DIRT) announced 20-time World of Outlaws champion Steve Kinser and 2001 World of Outlaws champion Danny Lasoski will return to the World of Outlaws in 2007.

“We welcome Steve and Danny and their returns to the World of Outlaws,” said DIRT MotorSports President and CEO Tom Deery. “They are champions and concerned about what is best for the future of sprint car racing. We’re excited for our fans that they once again will be part of the Greatest Show on Dirt.”

In 2007, Kinser will be aiming to add to his legendary career as he returns to the World of Outlaws featuring a renewed partnership with long-time supporter Quaker State, through it’s Q brand. Quaker State and Q have supported Kinser since he formed his Steve Kinser Racing team in 1995. One of the original World of Outlaws competitors in 1978, Kinser has earned a series record 533 victories in a racing career that has spanned four decades with the Outlaws. In 2005, he was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame.

“The World of Outlaws with their new leadership, expanded schedule and new ESPN and SPEED TV deals have really positioned sprint car racing for growth,” said David Lerch, Director of Motorsports for Q. “Steve Kinser, Q and the World of Outlaws belong together and we are pleased to continue our partnership with Steve as he competes for his 21st World of Outlaws title.”

“It’s not going to be easy because there’s a lot of good race teams out there now with a lot of good drivers,” said Kinser, of Bloomington, Ind.

Lasoski, who won the 2001 World of Outlaws title while driving for Tony Stewart Motorsports, is back in the Roth Motorsports machine in 2007. He will seek to add to his total of 74 World of Outlaws victories beginning Feb. 9 at Volusia Speedway Park, where the series drops the green flag on its 30th season.

“The bottom line is to secure 410 sprint car racing,” said Lasoski, of Dover, Mo. “I feel we need to be back together as one group under one banner, stronger than ever. The World of Outlaws has done its homework, they got the proper television package with ESPN2 and SPEED and I’m excited to be coming back. I think really great things are on the horizon and the biggest winner will be the fans.”
