Tam Maxim 'Down Under' summary

Team MAXIM dominated the inaugural World of Outlaws event at Parramatta City Raceway in the O'Reilly World of Outlaws Series' 'Down Under' finale. Steve Kinser drove his #11 Quaker State Maxim to the 497th victory of his incomparable career to claim the $20,000 first prize.
