Mopar-Powered Joey Saldana, Kasey Kahne Racing Honored by 410 Sprint Car Poll
Kasey Kahne Racing (KKR) World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series driver Joey Saldana and the entire KKR team were honored last week for their stellar 2009 campaign by the North American 410 Sprint Car Poll.
Saldana, driving a Mopar-powered sprint car owned by NASCAR star Kasey Kahne, added his name to a short list of drivers to have claimed 20 or more A-Feature wins in a single season with the World of Outlaws. The native of Brownsburg, Ind., finished third in points on the strength of 48 Top-10 finishes in what was the closest three-way race in series history, coming up just 70 markers shy of his first title. Saldana’s KKR team was voted the 2009 "Team of the Year" as well by the North American 410 Sprint Car Poll for their performance over the course of the always grueling World of Outlaws season.
The North American 410 Sprint Car Poll is an annual awards program of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum. Voting is conducted among a panel of media members, promoters, sanctioning officials and manufacturers.
The 2010 World of Outlaws season kicks off with the 39th Annual Florida DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH at Volusia Speedway Park, February 5–7. For more information on the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, visit http://www.worldofoutlaws.com.
