Concord, NC— October 25, 2009—The third annual World of Outlaws World Finals featuring the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and the World of Outlaws Late Model Series is quickly approaching at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, November 5-7. In the 11 days leading up to the three-day action packed season ender, World of Outlaws drivers will share their thoughts on what is quickly becoming one of the “Must See” marquee events of the year.

The first driver up is Brian Ellenberger, the leading contender for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award this season. The native of Butler, Pennsylvania competed in the World Finals for the first time in his career last season. He continued to gain priceless experience at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway earlier this season during the Outlaws Showdown in the spring.

Brian Ellenberger, Driver of the No. 22 Ti-22 Performance J&J:

“That’s a great show. They always have a big crowd there and great racing. We’ll have a lot of our sponsors down there so we are excited for them to get to see us race. That’s the last race of the year, so I’m kind of sad to see the season coming to an end, but it’s a race I am looking forward to for sure. It is pretty neat for the fans having the late models there as well. Some of the best late model races that I have ever seen were down there a year or two ago. They are always fun to watch and put on a great show as well.”

The finale of the World Finals will air live on SPEED on Saturday, November 7 beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern, with Bobby Gerould on the call and Brad Doty offering expert analysis along with Shane Andrews and Eric Crocker reporting from the pit area.
