Findlay, OH. – (June 3, 2010) – This weekend Chad Kemenah and the rest of the World of Outlaw tour makes it’s first and only appearance at the immaculate Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. Kemenah has always enjoyed racing at the big ½ mile over the years and this weekend is very important for the CKR Team.
Things are starting to pick up for Kemenah and his Golden Flavor Sesame Sticks No.63 machine. Since the arrival of new crew chief Dean “Bonzai” Bruns, Kemenah has been able to concentrate more on racing and things are starting to pick up for the Findlay, Ohio driver.
“Last weekend at Charlotte we were pretty good until the feature,” said Kemenah. “We made a few changes but it just didn’t work out in our favor, next time we go there things will be different. The following night in Pennsylvania we were ok, and I feel were starting to race a lot better than before. Bob Hampshire makes us a great motor and “Bonzai” certainly knows his way around a sprint car and were getting real close to where we want to be every night against the toughest competition around.”
With the World of Outlaws and numerous teams making there way to the “Sprint Car Capital of the World” Kemenah certainly knows this weekend is very crucial. Over the years Kemenah has showed fans he can wheel his way around the Knoxville Raceway and race with the best drivers around anytime he pushes off at Knoxville.
Looking back in 2004 Kemenah was able to bring home a second place finish at the Knoxville Nationals, his best finish ever at the Nationals, and he backed it up with a fifth place finish the following year in 2005. Since then the four time All Star champion has finished inside the top ten numerous times and has always been very competitive at the Knoxville Raceway.
“Knoxville Racay is always a fun place to race at no matter what,” says Kemenah. “We really want to have a good showing these next couple of days because the Knoxville Nationals are just around the corner and we need to be on point. I am also very excited that my wife Tracy and the kids are going to be on the road with us for the next couple of weeks so that should be fun. A lot of great people help support this team and make it possible for us to be out here with the World of Outlaws and we are really looking forward to racing this weekend.”
