Mopar-powered Driver Saldana Lassos Lone Star Speedway Victory
Joey Saldana steered his Mopar-powered World of Outlaws Sprint car to a series-leading 19th A-Feature win of the season in the inaugural WoO Fest at Lone Star Speedway in Kilgore, Texas, on Saturday, Oct. 24.
Saldana won the Crane Cams Dash to start on the pole for the 30-lapper and earned $12,000 for the win, which was the 58th of his World of Outlaws career. He made it three-for-three in the state of Texas after wiring the field at Lone Star Speedway. The Kasey Kahne Racing driver won earlier this season at the half-mile and also was victorious at Houston Raceway Park in Texas.
"This is another great win," said Saldana. "I can't thank Willie (Kahne), Kolten (Gouse) and Kale (Kahne) enough. They work really hard. It was a great effort by this whole team."
Saldana is currently third in the World of Outlaws standings. The series returns to action on Thursday, November 5, with qualifying for the third annual World Finals at The Dirt Track at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C., which runs November 5-7.
