Great Nationals Week in Iowa, 49 Team Adds New Crew Chief

Well known Pennsylvania crew chief Lee Stauffer was added to the No. 49 teams roster earlier this month, and the team quickly found success by winning the $20,000 to win Front Row Challenge at Southern Iowa Speedway last Monday, the week leading up to the Knoxville Nationals.

The KKR teams worked hard over four nights of racing at the most prestigious race week on the World of Outlaws schedule, finishing inside the top 10 in their qualifying races and they both finished in the top five in Friday night’s World Challenge race.

On Saturday, Brad Sweet captured his first career podium finish in the Knoxville Nationals, the richest race on the schedule which pays $150,000 to the winner. Daryn Pittman started the 50-lap race in 15th, and worked his way up to seventh before the checkered flag.

The teams kick off a mid-west to west-coast swing tonight at Junction Motor Speedway in Nebraska before stops in North Dakota, Alberta Canada, Washington, Oregon and California.
