CONCORD, NC – Sept. 11, 2017 – Regardless of the measuring stick, the World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series is the premier Sprint Car touring organization in the world. In 2017, The Greatest Show on Dirt has 16 full-time teams that compete at each and every event on the grueling 90-plus race schedule. But since the conclusion of the Knoxville Nationals, two additional teams have been following the tour, those of California native Dominic Scelzi and Australian Jamie Veal.
The decision process to run with the Outlaws was similar for both Scelzi and Veal. They both cited that after Knoxville their final destination was California. Scelzi is from the Golden State, while Veal keeps his equipment at Brent Kaeding’s shop during the American off-season. Of course, the level of competition was an incentive as well.
