MAGNOLIA, Miss. — Feb. 25, 2011 — Steve Kinser held off Jason Sides and Cody Darrah
in an edge-of-your-seat World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series thriller on Friday night
at Pike County Speedway.

Kinser took the lead on lap 12 of the 35-lap feature in his Bass Pro Shops/J.D.
Byrider/Chevrolet/Maxim, but Sides and Darrah took shots at the 20-time King of the
Outlaws in every corner, racing three-wide at times down the backstretch at the
3/8-mile speedway. Kinser finally pulled away to the checkered flag after a
late-race caution cleared traffic, giving him his third victory in four races to
start this season.

“It was a heck of a race,” said Kinser, of Bloomington, Ind., who won for the third
time in his career at Pike County Speedway. “It’s just good to see all of the hard
work this winter has paid off.”

Sides, of Bartlett, Tenn., was racing for his second consecutive World of Outlaws
victory in the Wetherington Tractor Services ride. He went wheel-to-wheel with
Kinser during much of the A-main.

“I couldn’t tell you which lap was which,” said Sides, who had a large contingent of
family and friends in attendance. “I guess the old dog still has a few tricks up his
sleeve.”
  
Darrah, a Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year contender from Red Lion, Pa., led the
first 11 laps in the Kasey Kahne Racing Great Clips Maxim before Kinser and Sides
swarmed him and turned the rest of the night into a fierce three-car heavyweight
bout.

“These guys are my heroes, it was exciting,” Darrah said. “I just overdrove it.”

Joey Saldana in his new Kasey Kahne Racing Red Bull Maxim wound up fourth after
restarting at the tail of the field after he brought out a caution early in the
race. David Gravel rounded out the top five after starting on the pole.

The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series rolls down the highway to Royal Purple
