Last season’s World of Outlaws event at the track was captured by rising NASCAR star Kyle Larson of Elk Grove, who picked up the win over two-time King of the West 410 champion Tim Kaeding from San Jose and five-time WOO titlist Donny Schatz of Fargo, North Dakota. Eventual STP World of Outlaws champ Daryn Pittman of Owasso, Oklahoma came home fourth, with California native and recent “World Finals” winner Paul McMahan rounding out the top-five.

The Friday evening kick-off on March 21 will mark the third Winged 360 Sprint Car event to take place at the Stockton Dirt Track since it opened up last season. The previous two races have been captured by Sacramento’s Willie Croft and Tim Kaeding. It will also be the second BCRA Midget event, after last year’s debut was claimed by Stockton’s own Jonathon Henry over Visalia’s Greg Bragg and Sean Dodenhoff.

Camping will also be available during the weekend with a number of great spots available for RV’s and Campers on the fairgrounds. More information on the overall weekend will be released soon, with plans for a car show on Saturday and a post race party on Friday evening for fans & teams.
