Outlaws Ready for Action at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55

Seven of the top eight World of Outlaws have won at the high-banked track

PEVELY, Mo. — July 20, 2012 — Ironman.

It’s quickly become a signature event on the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series because of the fast-paced, action-packed racing at the high-banked, third-mile Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55.

“It’s always a big action track,” said Sammy Swindell, who has won at the track three times. “There’s usually a lot of cars running close together. It’s small enough that you never really get away from people, so it’s a tough race. If you’re not racing with somebody, you’re in traffic with somebody. You’ve got to be on your toes the whole time there.”

This year’s Federated Auto Parts Ironman 55 presented by Summit Distributing/Coors Light is set for Saturday, Aug. 4. The 55 feature laps are the most of any event on the World of Outlaws this season.
