Concord, NC-July 26, 2010-

The level of competition just keeps rising: Lance Dewease won the opener of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's at Lernerville Speedway on July 20 to become the 14^th different driver to visit Victory Lane with the World of Outlaws in 2010. Greg Hodnett and Doug Esh followed with wins on Saturday and Sunday, to bring the total number of winners this season with the series to 16. A total of 16 drivers were victorious last season in 67 total races. A total of 26 drivers have led laps in feature events thus far in 2010 with the World of Outlaws, surpassing the 25 that paced the field in 2009.

Hard charger: Brian Ellenberger came from the 25^th starting spot in the opener of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's at his home track of Lernerville Speedway to finish 13^th to earn the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award for the third time this season, which is third-best in the series.

First time in the dash: Danny Holtgraver, the current Lernerville Speedway point leader, finished second in the third heat during the Silver Cup to earn a spot in the World of Outlaws dash for the first time in his career. The 20-year old finished 10^th in the dash to earn a fifth row starting spot in the opener of the Twin 30's. He finished 19^th in the opener and was a career-best 14^th in the finale as he made his third and fourth career A-feature starts with the World of Outlaws.

Leading some laps: Tyler Walker led his first laps with the World of Outlaws since 2003 last week in the finale of the Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup Twin 30's. He lined up on the pole of the inverted race and paced the first five circuits before a spin coming off turn two. The Californian native finished as the last car on the lead lap, in the 14^th spot in the opener of the Silver Cup thus earning him the pole for the finale, as the lead lap finishers from the opener were inverted.

First A-Feature event: Steve Lines raced his way into the Silver Cup through The Last Chance Showdown to start 18^th in the opener to qualify for his first A-Feature event with the World of Outlaws. He was not able to start the finale after having the steering on his machine break. Lines, who is a three-time South Australia title winner, has made a trip to the United States each of the last two years in the summer to compete in a number of races in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio before heading back to his native land.
