LAWTON, OK (September 18, 2020) — Daryn Pittman’s roller coaster 2020 season hit another high point on Saturday winning the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series first appearance at Lawton Speedway in over 35 years. The win was Pittman’s second of the 2020 calendar year with the World of Outlaws tour.
For Pittman, originally from Owasso, Oklahoma, the win came on the heels of announcing he would not return to the Outlaw tour full time in 2020 and that this weekend would be his last driving for Roth Motorsports. The win also took place at the same track where Pittman picked up his first career sprint car victory early in his career.
“To win here with as many friends and family that have supported me for 25 years, some longer than that, means more than anything,” said Pittman in victory lane. “We’re glad we won but as bad as our season has been, I still show up at every race still expecting to win and knowing we can contend. It has been a struggle and a grind. I feel like I show up with the same effort and attitude every race and the same effort and we just hit it tonight.”
Pittman started on the front row and took the lead at the start of the 35-lap feature. Pittman was in control of the race until the laps started to wind down. Pittman’s former teammate at Kasey Kahne Racing, Brad Sweet, started to pressure Pittman for the lead over the final laps. Pittman was up for the challenge holding on for the win over Sweet and David Gravel. Sheldon Haudenschild overcame a stop in the work area to change a tire while running in the top five early in the feature to finish fourth while Logan Schuchart rounded out the top five.
