CONCORD, N.C. – July 7, 2015 – The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series takes on the inaugural two-day Cedar Lake Outlaw Sprint Car Showdown for the first time this weekend, July 11 and 12.
The expanded weekend destination event adds to an Outlaws, Cedar Lake connection that goes back more than 30 years. The track is one of the longest running on the series schedule and this will be the first time the series has run back-to-back nights.
The last time the series ran twice in the same year at the track was 1993, when Dave Blaney, the 1995 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, swept both events – one in May and the other in July. Steve Kinser, the 20-time Outlaws champion, scored the first win at the track on July 11, 1983.
Among current, active Outlaws though the undisputed win leader is six-time and reigning series champion, Donny Schatz. He has three wins at the track dating back to 2008. His most recent win was last season’s battle with David Gravel. Paul McMahan is the only other active series driver with a win at the track.
Join the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series for the first ever two-day Cedar Lake Outlaw Sprint Car Showdown on July 11 and 12. For more information about the Cedar Lake Outlaw Showdown and to learn how to purchase tickets, visit http://woosprint.com/cedar-lake-speedway.
