World of Outlaws
A lot must go right to win the Federated Auto Parts Ironman 55. It’s the most laps the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series runs all season. It requires a great car and driver. It requires mixing patience with aggression. It requires stamina. All the pieces have to come together to conquer the demanding 55-lapper at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park.
Starting a night of racing with a fire is about the worst possible scenario for any team. That’s exactly the situation Carson Macedo and Jason Johnson Racing faced on Friday at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park. A fuel issue during engine heat ignited flames on the No. 41, forcing Macedo to quickly climb out and making a lot of extra work for the team to be ready for the remainder of the night.
Ever since 2009 one determined Sprint Car driver has hoisted a dumbbell in I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park Victory Lane during the month of August. Not just any dumbbell. The Ironman 55 dumbbell. After 55 of the most intense laps they’ll ever race, they summon what energy is left to lift the iconic trophy above their head in triumph.
Another summer month, another major stretch for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series. With a jam-packed July in the books, all eyes are on a July boasting big events as the Summer of Money continues.
The most demanding race on the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series calendar is upon us.
