Q&A: Kasey Kahne on Sprint Car Racing

"I know you raced at the Oscaloosa thing, sprint car. If the schedule worked out right, would you want to do that every year? Your thoughts on being a part of that thing again, just the hospitality, fans didn't seem to mob you, but orderly came up and got autographs. Seemed pretty laid back.




That's how it is. That's how sprint car fans are. It seems like they're there to watch the race. You know, I sat in the grandstands at the Knoxville Nationals with all the fans and signed some stuff throughout the night had a good time. I definitely look forward to running Oscaloosa again next year, running the Front Row Challenge and maybe the non-wing race the following night like Tony did. If we ever get back to Michigan during the Knoxville weekend, maybe try at the Nationals, too, depending on where things are at. But I'm a huge dirt, you know, sprint car, wing fan. No matter what, I'm going to always be around those tracks if I can be, if I don't have other commitments."

I wasn't sure we were going to make it here in time to race, but we got here, and had to start at the tail of a heat. I never thought we'd do this well. I figured we'd have to run in the back all night long."

By Roby Helm

USCS Communications Director



COCHRAN, GA - Danny "The Hammer" Martin Jr. of Sarasota, FL won the 30-lap O'Reilly United Sprint Car Series feature race at Cochran Motor Speedway on Saturday night for the second straight year. Martin came from the seventh starting spot to take the lead with five laps to go in the Martin Structures, Inc. Schnee/ZRE.



Martin had an up and down night, as the 19-year-old driver started in the back of his heat race, worked his way up to the third spot, but spun in turn three with two laps to go. Martin came charging right back to finish fourth.



"George Gillespe at PRO Shocks gave me a new set up to try, and it really worked well for us," Martin said. "We started in the back of the heat, when to the front, and then I spun it out. We came back to finish fourth, and I knew we had something. I really love this track!"



Martin also gave his Dad, Danny Martin Sr., a nice birthday present for the second straight year. This marked the fifth win for Martin on a family special occasion like a birthday, or an anniversary. Martin earned the Huggins Cams Hard Charger of the Race Award, and was also the SpeedMart Young Gun of the Race.

Special Occasion Means Martin Wins Again in Georgia

COCHRAN, GA - Danny Martin, Sr. had a birthday this week, today Hammer's lovely girlfriend, Jen Scarbrough was celebrating her birthday too. Team mascot, Tucker the Travelling Sprint Car Dog began an early celebration of his birthday too. On special occasions, Martin wins races.

Tonight Adams finished second. Martin, Jr., Martin Sr. and Tire Man, Dewey Mixon, took the Food Grade Transport / Martin Structures / eStateTrafficSchool.com Sprinter to victory lane again in the Peach State.

This season's road to victory was strewn with 3 blown motors, 3 failed steering boxes, and 3 broken rear ends. There are 24 races left in the USCS season and mechanical demons have now been cast out. Hammer out braked other competitors coming from Row 4 to take the lead on lap 25 of the 30 lapper. With a Heat Index of 107 degrees, competitors and cars fought the oppressive South Georgia heat.

In a rare showing, a Ford Powered 360 Sprint Car, piloted by Carolina shoe Johnny Bridges came home in third place.
