World of Outlaws Sprint Cars Open Western Swing in Las Vegas
March 8 race in Las Vegas starts an eight-race month in Western region
CONCORD, N.C. — Feb. 10, 2012 — Sin City is about to get dirtier.
After opening the season next week in Florida, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series will kick off an eight-race swing to the West with its lone race in Nevada — March 8 at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas. The premier sprint car tour will spark the racing attention in Las Vegas with an event on a Thursday during the NASCAR Sprint Cup weekend.
NASCAR star Tony Stewart has a pair of drivers — Donny Schatz and Steve Kinser — who have combined for 10 victories in the 26 World of Outlaws events run at the semi-banked, half-mile dirt oval. Kinser and Kasey Kahne Racing’s Joey Saldana earned victories last season when it was a two-night show.
