Last year, fans were treated to exciting racing around the 4/10-mile track from all three series and all roads are pointing another thrilling November finale. By the halfway point of the season, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars have already had nine different changes for the championship lead, most recently between four-time and reigning Series champion Brad Sweet and David Gravel – looking for his first title.
The World of Outlaws Late Models could see its third different champion in three seasons. Bobby Pierce, in his first full season with the Series, has become an instant standout, leading the title fight with veteran driver Chris Madden. Both are looking for their first World of Outlaws championship.
Recently, the Super DIRTcar Series has had seven different winners in the last eight races, including first time winners and the return to Victory Lane for a Hall of Famer. Reigning Series champion Matt Sheppard will try to make history this season and claim his 10th title.
