SALINA, Okla. – April 24, 2013 – Craig Dollansky will be seeking his second victory of the 2013 World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series season on Friday night when he and the Outlaws invade Salina Highbanks Speedway.

Dollansky earned a victory and set the track record at Salina in the series’ debut on the high-banked oval in 2011, the only other time the Outlaws have raced at the Oklahoma track not far from Tulsa.

Oklahoma native Daryn Pittman grew up near Tulsa and certainly has had the event circled on his calendar. He leads the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series championship standings heading into the weekend.

With the unpredictable nature of spring weather, race organizers have made Saturday a rain date in the event of inclement weather on Friday night. All Friday tickets will be honored on Saturday if necessary.
