Norman, OK — April 11, 2006 — By Chris Dolack, VP Public Relations
WHAT
• After opening the season on several different big half-miles, the
World of Outlaws Sprint Series is about to get its elbows up and invade
two quarter-mile ovals that offer very different challenges. Tri-State
Speedway, where the Mean 15 racers compete in a $51,600 event on
Saturday, April 15, is a paper-clip quarter-mile where the
850-horsepower World of Outlaws winged sprint cars go all out on the
straightaways before tiptoeing through the turns and bringing the crowd
to its feet with wheelies as they square up for the next straight.
Then on Friday, April 21, the World of Outlaws roll into Lawrenceburg
Speedway to open the City of Lawrenceburg Sprint Nationals and battle
the All Star Circuit of Champions on a nearly circular quarter-mile in
another $51,600 show where momentum is key to winning but a challenge
to accomplish with 24 cars all fighting for the same real estate. In
either case, the events will be extremely exciting as the close
quarters racing always leads to incredible edge-of-your-seat action.

p.m. with the grandstands opening at 4 p.m. and qualifying kicking off

Challenge will pocket $70,000 — a nice way to warm up for the Month of

• Martin’s new site: Jason Martin still is recuperating from injuries
sustained in February at East Bay Raceway Park, but that doesn’t mean
the native of Liberal, Kan., has not been busy. The Hitman continues to
be on the road working with the team and now has launched a new Web
site (http://www.jasonmartinmotorsports) with the help of HostIowa.net.
The new site is fan friendly and will soon have a place where fans can
order Hitman and Mafia Motorsports merchandise as well as NOS Energy
Drinks. A new feature will include real-time updates from the track
when the team is in action, as well as photos. While Martin recovers,
Rob Chaney has been handling driving duties. … Martin could be back in
the car as early as the April 29 event Knoxville Raceway. Doctors are
encouraged by the strength in Martin’s neck as well as his recovery and
attention to the injury. He wants to be 100 percent healthy when he
climbs back into the NOS Energy Drinks/Mafia Motorsports #36 Maxim
powered by Kriner. “Yeah I want back in the seat,” Martin said. “But I
also know at this level you have to be 100 percent. I am real close and
feel great but I am not climbing back in the car until the doctors give
me the green light. Rob has done a great job for us and we are thankful
for the performance. The frustrating thing is just watching my car on
the track. When I get back in, it will be when I am 100 percent
physically — the mental part is already there.”

WHAT
• After opening the season on several different big half-miles, the
World of Outlaws Sprint Series is about to get its elbows up and invade
two quarter-mile ovals that offer very different challenges. Tri-State
Speedway, where the Mean 15 racers compete in a $51,600 event on
Saturday, April 15, is a paper-clip quarter-mile where the
850-horsepower World of Outlaws winged sprint cars go all out on the
straightaways before tiptoeing through the turns and bringing the crowd
to its feet with wheelies as they square up for the next straight.
Then on Friday, April 21, the World of Outlaws roll into Lawrenceburg
Speedway to open the City of Lawrenceburg Sprint Nationals and battle
the All Star Circuit of Champions on a nearly circular quarter-mile in
another $51,600 show where momentum is key to winning but a challenge
to accomplish with 24 cars all fighting for the same real estate. In
either case, the events will be extremely exciting as the close
quarters racing always leads to incredible edge-of-your-seat action.

p.m. with the grandstands opening at 4 p.m. and qualifying kicking off

Challenge will pocket $70,000 — a nice way to warm up for the Month of
Money.
• Martin’s new site: Jason Martin still is recuperating from injuries
sustained in February at East Bay Raceway Park, but that doesn’t mean
the native of Liberal, Kan., has not been busy. The Hitman continues to
be on the road working with the team and now has launched a new Web
site (http://www.jasonmartinmotorsports) with the help of HostIowa.net.
The new site is fan friendly and will soon have a place where fans can
order Hitman and Mafia Motorsports merchandise as well as NOS Energy
Drinks. A new feature will include real-time updates from the track
when the team is in action, as well as photos. While Martin recovers,
Rob Chaney has been handling driving duties. … Martin could be back in
the car as early as the April 29 event Knoxville Raceway. Doctors are
encouraged by the strength in Martin’s neck as well as his recovery and
attention to the injury. He wants to be 100 percent healthy when he
climbs back into the NOS Energy Drinks/Mafia Motorsports #36 Maxim
powered by Kriner. “Yeah I want back in the seat,” Martin said. “But I
also know at this level you have to be 100 percent. I am real close and
feel great but I am not climbing back in the car until the doctors give
me the green light. Rob has done a great job for us and we are thankful
for the performance. The frustrating thing is just watching my car on
the track. When I get back in, it will be when I am 100 percent
physically — the mental part is already there.”
