FireAde PROTECTS DRIVERS: FireAde, the leader in professional fire suppression technology, has partnered with the World of Outlaws and DIRTcar Racing as the Official Fire Suppression System in 2019 to deliver the best in track safety. Now equipped with FireAde’s top-of-the-line Enforcer® 10 high-energy compressed air foam units, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, Morton Buildings Late Model Series and DIRTcar Racing officials will be more than prepared to protect the drivers and crews in the event of a fire, all season long. Their mission is simple – to educate everyone involved in motorsports about the dangers of oil and fuel fires at the racetrack, and how they can be extinguished with FireAde’s line of products.

“FireAde is very proud to be working with and protecting the drivers of the World of Outlaws and DIRTcar Racing this season,” said Joey Cudmore, Vice President of FireAde Motorsports. “Fires on and around the track can happen anywhere, at any time, for any reason, and our great line of industry-leading foam delivery systems aims to keep drivers safe in both the pit area and on the track, at hundreds of motorsports events all across the country.”

FULL-TIME ROSTER UPDATE: Joining the many other drivers confirmed to the 2019 Series roster last week was three-time DIRTcar Summer Nationals Champion Dennis Erb Jr. and Bear Lake, PA-native and dirt Late Model veteran Boom Briggs. They’ll race alongside three-time Series Champion Darrell Lanigan, who announced his return to the World of Outlaws roster the week prior.

This week, it’s another familiar face returning to the roster for his second straight season, the “B1 Bomber” Brent Larson. Larson finished runner-up in 2018 Rookie of the Year points and is once again back with car owner Arnie Ranta for their 2019 campaign. Joining him in roster announcements this week will be the “Silver Shark,” Scott James. The Lawrenceburg, Indiana-native spent much of the 2018 season racing regionally and looks forward to joining up with the rest of the full-time World of Outlaws roster at Screven.

Things will get underway at the track on Thursday night, Feb. 7, with an open practice session for all divisions. The following evening kicks off with the gates opening at 2 p.m. and drivers meeting at 6 p.m., with racing to follow. On Saturday, gates will open at 10 a.m., drivers meetings at 5:15. Tickets for any day of the event can be purchased at the gate. Kids 12 and under are free on all three nights.
