Beaver Dam, WI—May 15, 2009-The stars will be out on Tuesday, June 2 at Charter Raceway Park in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin for Kasey Kahne night at the always racy high-banked 1/3-mile, as the Bumper to Bumper/ IRA Outlaw Sprint Series will be in action, with three very special guests in attendance, all whom will strap into an 850-horsepower fire breathing winged sprint car for a full night of racing.

Leading the way will be the 29-year old NASCAR star who cut his teeth racing winged sprint cars in the Pacific Northwest. Kahne will be making his first start with the IRA and his second overall start the Charter Raceway Park, as he competed in a modified at the track a couple of years ago. The native of Enumclaw, Washington has 20 career winged sprint car wins across the country and will be looking for his first with the IRA.

Joining Kahne will Craig Dollansky and Joey Saldana, who drive for the NASCAR star on the World of Outlaws circuit. Saldana is currently tied for the series lead with five wins and is third in points, while Dollansky recently moved into the Top-Five in the standings, as he closes in on his first win of the 2009 campaign.

Saldana is undefeated in his career with the IRA, winning a race in Michigan in 1998, while Dollansky has a very impressive record with the series, scoring wins in each of his last four starts with the series. He has six career wins with the group at five different tracks across the upper Midwest.

The best of the best from the IRA will do battle as well, led by defending series champion and current point leader Billy Balog, along with Scotty Neitzel, Mike Reinke, Steve Meyer, Billy Hafermann, John Haeni and many more. Dating back to 1994, the series has competed at Charter Raceway Park over 50 times with 25 drivers picking up wins over the span.

Adding to the excitement on Tuesday, Jun 2, a drawing will be held on Kasey Kahne Night in which one lucky fan will win a chance to ride in the pace truck with Kahne during the National Anthem.
