CONCORD, N.C. – Nov. 19, 2015 – The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series announced select dates for the 2016 kick-off tour which covers events following DIRTcar Nationals and brings the ‘Greatest Show on Dirt’ west to Texas, Nevada, Arizona and California.

“As the 2016 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series season fast approaches, we are excited to return to great race tracks like Ocean Speedway, Bakersfield Speedway and Royal Purple Raceway,” said World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Director Carlton Reimers. “While the off-season is still young, we can’t wait to get ‘The Greatest Show on Dirt’ back in action.”

The series takes on weekend destination events in California at Thunderbowl Raceway, the Stockton Dirt Track and Calistoga Speedway. Brad Sweet presents the Placerville Short Track Outlaw Showdown at Placerville Speedway returns in 2016 on March 23 and the Outlaws take on the Mini Gold Cup at Silver Dollar Speedway on April 2.
