Joey Saldana is honored and thrilled to be racing the #9 Kasey Kahne owned World of Outlaws Sprint Car for the third season.

The Team is pleased to have Open Joist and Mopar continuing their support and sponsorship in the upcoming season. Budweiser has also joined in sponsorship bringing great opportunities to the Team. With the help of these sponsors and many associate sponsors, including HE&M Saw, the #9 KKR/Joey Saldana World of Outlaws Team expects to be a true contender for the 2008 World of Outlaws Championship.

2007 was a record breaking season for Joey personally. Joey started off strong with an All Star win on the first night of racing at Volusia County in Florida. Continuing his strong run, he captured his first WoO win of the season at Tulare, CA on February 23rd. Then a few races later, Joey won three exciting races in a row at Magnolia, MS., Dixie, GA and Bull's Gap, TN.

Joey's consistency continued on when he won again at Attica, OH in April. A string of top ten runs brought Joey back to victory lane at Kokomo Speedway in his home state of Indiana. Joey brought a packed house of fans, family, and friends to their feet as he raced his way to the front to capture his seventh victory of the season.
The following race would prove to be as exciting and sentimental as Joey won the Eagle Nationals at Eagle, NE for the first time. This track was the same track that "Little Joe", Joey's father started racing on when he began his racing career.

As the season progressed, Joey found himself in winner's circle at Pevely, MO for the ESPN televised Month of Money race, as it was another exciting race to take the checkered flag at.  The Knoxville Nationals proved to be successful as Joey ran second for the second year in a row after charging from ninth starting position.

As the series headed west, Joey and the Team looked forward to racing in Kasey's home state of Washington where Kasey's family, friends, and fans showed their support of Joey and Kasey's sprint car Team. After two strong second place finishes in Washington, the Team headed down to Cottage Grove, OR where they found themselves victorious again.

The entire west coast seemed favorable to Joey as the Team ventured into Calfifornia where Joey had two fith place finishes at Calistoga and then went on to win the pre-lim night at Chico's Gold Cup. Joey excited the crowd as he rode the cushion hard from eleventh only to pass Steve Kinser for the win. Winning the pre-lim benefitted Joey in points, allowing him to be high points man going into Saturday night's "A". Joey raced methodically as he captured his first Prestigious $50,000 to win Gold Cup.

The Team headed back to the midwest where Joey was again consistent with strong finishes. Then back to Eldora where he would win his record 14th World of Outlaws race in a season.

The "Brownsburg Bullet" Saldana earned his best finish with the World of Outlaws in 2007 when he finished second in points. He now has 44 career WoO wins and 66 career All Star wins.

Joey expects big things from himself and his Team in the 2008 season and will continue to strive for a World of Outlaws Championship.
