MUSKOGEE, OK (Feb. 29, 2024) – The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series returns to Oklahoma for its debut at Thunderbird Speedway on Friday, March 29.
While The Greatest Show on Dirt is no stranger to the “Sooner State,” Thunderbird will be a brand new stop for the Series, leveling the playing field for its elite roster of drivers.
Carson Macedo, of Lemoore, CA, is the last World of Outlaws driver to win in Oklahoma, having won at Lawton Speedway in 2021. The Jason Johnson Racing driver has finished third in points the last three years and will be on the hunt for early season wins as he searches for his first World of Outlaws championship.
The Thunderbird Showdown will also mark the first time since 2022 that the track has hosted a national Sprint Car event. The last was an American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) race in 2022, won by Texas-native Sam Hafertepe Jr.
