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.

Movers, Inc./Goodson Farms Shaw/Ott. Not only is Adams Gohn's teammate, but also his stepfather, and he couldn't have been happier if he had won the race himself. Gohn served as Adams' crew chief before getting the chance to drive last season.

Sprint Car Stolen and Recovered

By ABBY SIMONS
REGISTER STAFF WRITER

"The thief is still on the loose, but a relieved Des Moines racer has recovered his sprint car and the truck and trailer he used to haul it, the night after it was stolen from his east-side home. Someone had kicked in the back door of the home and helped himself or herself to more than $2,500 in electronic equipment before taking the keys to Josh Higday's diesel truck from the counter. The burglar then cut the padlocks from the truck and trailer, which remained in the home's driveway, and pushed a $35,000 sprint car from the garage onto the tractor-trailer - another estimated $25,000 investment - and left, Police Officer Ben Carter said."

Radio station KGGO broadcast the couple's plea for help, and 10 minutes later the trailer was spotted, Dawn Higday said. The car soon followed."

Sprint Cars Invade Texas - El Paso Times Sports

El Paso Times Sports: "Sprint car drivers invade local track

Darren Hunt
El Paso Times

Many of the top sprint car drivers from Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas are in town to compete in the Southwest Sprint Car Series Shootout this afternoon at El Paso Speedway Park.

'It's been a couple of years since this series has come through here,' Speedway Park public relations director/announcer Henry Aguirre said this week. 'There's more slicing and dicing with non-winged sprints like this.'

Winged sprint cars carry more corner speed because of the downforce created by the wings. Without the wings, however, more of the driving is put back into the hands of the drivers."

Tampa native Dave Steele began his career on Florida short tracks and has gone on to become a national champion. He is considered one of the nation's top drivers on paved short tracks and has won virtually every major paved short-track open-wheel event. Yet he returns to Florida whenever he can to run with his friends in the Tampa Bay Area Racing Association (TBARA). ''All my buddies are in the TBARA,'' Steele said. ''Those guys are tough racers with good equipment and I'm fortunate enough to have a good car to race here. I really enjoy coming back home to race with them.'' The 30-year-old Steele began his racing career in go- karts at age seven. At 16 he switched to TQ Midgets and over the next two seasons won 24 of 28 feature events in which he competed.

Is racing at Bristol the closest thing to Sprint car racing?

TONY STEWART-Bristol Preview - From the Voice of the NASCAR Nation: "Is racing at Bristol the closest thing to Sprint car racing?

'The two places that stand out in my mind that's like Bristol are Salem (Ind.) and Winchester (Ind.). Both of those tracks were half-mile ovals with high banks. You ran at the top of those tracks versus the bottom, which is where we run at Bristol. The racing was so fast it was a hold-your-breathe-type situation. The types of cars that we were running at the speeds we were running -it was faster than what a stock car runs at Bristol. Running those two places is probably the closest thing you can do to get yourself ready for Bristol.'"

CONCORD MOTORSPORT PARK ON APRIL 2

O'REILLY USCS ASPHALT THUNDER TOUR RETURNS TO CONCORD MOTORSPORT PARK ON APRIL 2

FAYETTEVILLE, GA - The O'Reilly United Sprint Car Series Asphalt Thunder Tour returns to Concord Motorsport Park in Concord, NC on Saturday night, April 2. The challenging and fast ½-mile tri-oval will see the nation's most talented asphalt winged outlaw sprint car drivers turn fast speeds in what are pound-for-pound the most powerful short track racing cars in the world.


The O'Reilly USCS Asphalt Thunder Tour single-seat machines weigh 1,300 pounds and are powered by 700 horsepower fuel-injected alcohol-burning V-8 engines. The wings on top of the race cars will provide maximum down force that will make for eye-popping corner speeds.


The last appearance for the O'Reilly USCS pavement pounders was on April 21, 2001 when 2000 O'Reilly USCS National Champion Kenny Adams of Malabar, FL took the victory. The "Malabar Missile" won the 2005 O'Reilly USCS season opener on March 18 at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, FL.


Terry Gray of Bartlett, TN is the defending and four-time O'Reilly USCS National Champion, as well as the defending O'Reilly USCS Asphalt Thunder Champion. While Adams and Gray are the seasoned veterans of the O'Reilly USCS Asphalt Thunder Tour, the SpeedMart Young Guns are a group of drivers under the age of 25 that are getting a lot of attention.


Third generation driver 16-year-old Kevin Swindell of Bartlett, TN will arrive at Concord Motorsport Park after making a big splash in his two O'Reilly USCS Asphalt Thunder events, which were also his first two on pavement in a sprint car.


In a race car set up by his father, three-time national sprint car champion Sammy Swindell, the youngster set two new track records, finished second in Pensacola, FL, and won the race in Mobile, AL on March 19. Swindell left the Mobile event leading the O'Reilly USCS point standings.


Ryan Myers of Eldorado, OH was also making his asphalt racing debut during the March 18-19 weekend, and posted a strong second-place finish in Mobile, AL. Myers is third in the O'Reilly USCS point standings behind Swindell and Gray.


Danny Martin Jr. of Sarasota, FL is a 19-year-old driver that finished second in the 2004 O'Reilly USCS National points chase with six wins. Martin had a fourth-place finish in Pensacola, FL. Another SpeedMart Young Gun, 16-year-old Matt Tiffany of Daytona Beach, FL posted a fourth-place effort in Mobile, AL.


The 2004 O'Reilly USCS Rookie of the Year, 17-year-old R.J. Johnson of Decatur, TN, and 18-year-old Bryn Gohn of Malabar, FL also posted top ten finishes in the first two events of the 2005 O'Reilly USCS season.


Other SpeedMart Young Guns to keep an eye on that have had success in the O'Reilly USCS Asphalt Tour are 17-year-old Stephen Darvalics of Venice, FL, 20-year-old Tom Winegardner Jr. of Pierson, FL, 21-year-old Doug Berryman of Fremont, OH, and 20-year-old Joe Rebman of Mansfield, OH.

Joining Adams and Gray in the veterans group of O'Reilly USCS Asphalt Thunder hot shoes heading for Concord, NC are Will Ragsdale of Greenville, SC, Doug Gold of Concord, NC, Brice Wrenn of Lexington, SC, Ted Williams of Atlanta, GA, Tom Winegardner Sr. of Pierson, FL, Chad Allum of Kannapolis, NC, the father-son team of Wayne Reutimann Sr. and Jr., Bronzie Lawson of Southern Pines, NC, Bruce Cline of Apex, NC, Brian Thomas of Auburn, GA, and
Dave Thorman of Greenville, SC.
