WILMOT, WI — July 19, 2017 — The World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series hits the track at Wilmot Raceway in Wisconsin on Saturday, July 29 for the running of the Badger 40. The event will mark the fifth visit to Wilmot, dating back to 2006.
David Gravel, who is third in points this season on the strength of a career-high 10 wins, was victorious at Wilmot Raceway last year to remain undefeated in World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series competition at the track. The young driver also won at Wilmot with the series in 2014. Gravel recently earned that tenth win of the season in the Brad Doty Classic at Attica Raceway Park in Ohio.
iRacing: Seavey Tops Sellemann
Seavey Tops Semmelmann and Bergeron at USA
By: David Phillips
Logan Seavey came out on top of Austen Simmelammn and Alex Bergeron after a race-long battle in this week’s iRacing World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series feature at USA International Speedway.
Although Seavey led from start-to-finish, that was no thanks to the determined Semmelmann who hounded the eventual winner every step of the way following the first and only caution of the evening. Semmelmann looked low and high for a way around Seavey to no avail. In the final laps Semmelmann appeared to have a slight edge running the high line but ran out of laps before he could make it work and finished a couple of car lengths behind Seavey.

SARVER, PA – July 18, 2017 – Eight-time Series Champion and current points leader Donny Schatz scored his fifth Don Martin Memorial Silver Cup win at Lernerville Speedway after a heated battle with Sheldon Haudenschild left the Rookie of the Year contender flipping off the wall on the front stretch outside turn four.
“It’s been a good week,” said Schatz, fresh off his Kings Royal win at Eldora Speedway just last Saturday. “This race team is incredible, what they do. When they get the race car good, you get in that zone, and they fine tune things and just keep making strides and making it better. It’s good to have that feeling for sure.”
