2017 World of Outlaws Preview

As is the case with many national series, the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series is set to kick off their 2017 campaign this month in Florida. Race number one of the series' scheduled 90+ events will be on February 17 at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville.

Entering the season, Donny Schatz returns as the odds-on favorite to take home the title. Schatz has won the series championship the previous three years and four of the last five seasons. The North Dakota native, who runs for Tony Stewart Racing, collected an impressive 25 series wins in 2016 including one here in Indiana when he was the first to the checkers at Lincoln Park Speedway in June.

Chasing Schatz will be a number of drivers with the talent to run up front consistently and with the financial backing to keep them competitive.

Shane Stewart returns to his ride with Larson Marks Racing this season after a solid 2016. Stewart collected eight wins last year including a victory at Lawrenceburg Speedway on Memorial Day.

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the 2016 season was the performance of David Gravel. Gravel picked up nine wins, second only to Schatz, and finished on the podium in the standings in third position. Gravel will return to CJB Motorsports in 2017.

The Kasey Kahne Racing stall returns a pair of drivers who have the ability to contend for a title in Daryn Pittman and Brad Sweet.

Pittman was the series runner up in 2016 behind a consistent campaign that featured 68 Top 10 finishes. The Owasso, OK native picked up eight series victories last season and is the last driver not named Donny Schatz to win a series title when he did so in 2013.

Pittman's teammate, Brad Sweet, also hopes to build on his success from last season in 2017. Sweet finished fourth in the standings behind eight wins and 45 Top 5's. Sweet was also the fastest qualifier 13 times last season, a series high.

Joey Saldana will begin his season in Florida with the newly formed Stenhouse Jr.-Wood Racing team. The "Brownsburg Bullet" needs just one win to eclipse the 100-win mark with the World of Outlaws. A fan favorite, Saldana finished fifth last season in the standings with five wins.

A number of other drivers will also run full time in 2017 including Sheldon Haudenschild, Logan Schuchart and Jacob Allen among others.

Hoosiers will get three opportunities to see the Outlaws in action in Indiana this season. The first two races will be on back-to-back nights in April when the series visits Plymouth Speedway and then Tri-State Speedway.

Plymouth Speedway

With rain looming, the World of Outlaws moved up their feature to get their part of the show in at Plymouth on Friday night.

At the end of the 30 lap event it was Brad Sweet fending off teammate Daryn Pittman to pick up the win. However, the class of the field was David Gravel in third along with Greg Wilson who came from 14th and 15th respectively to tally Top 5's while others struggled to make passes at times. Joey Saldana rounded out the top five.

Other noteworthy drivers include Donny Schatz, of course, who came to sixth from 13th and Jason Johnson who finished 12th after starting from the tail.

Logan Schuchart was tonight's quick qualifier with a time of 11.526, a track record for the speedway in it's short history as a dirt track.

WoO's decision to move up their feature was a good one as the rain started as midgets ran with the third class, UMP modifieds, never making it to the track.

World of Outlaws gear up for three Indiana shows in May

The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series will embrace a month dear to the Hoosier state when it comes to motorsports. The series will visit three different Indiana tracks this month, here is a look at each event.

The series will begin its Indiana tour on Friday, May 13 when it visits Plymouth Speedway for the first time in track history.

The track had expected to host the series in October of last year but delays with the ongoing improvements being made at the facility caused the event to be postponed until this year.

Saturday, May 14 will see the series shift south to Haubstadt and Tri-State Speedway, where we saw a spirited battle last year between Brady Bacon and Paul McMahan. McMahan eventually triumphed in the closing laps winning his second feature in as many years at TSS.

Other recent winners at TSS include: Tim Kaeding, Craig Dollansky and Sammy Swindell.

Joining the World of Outlaws that night will be the UMP modifieds. To reserve tickets for that event call 812-768-6025.

The third and final series event in Indiana during the month of May will be on the high banks of the Lawrenceburg Speedway. The event will take place on Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day).

Paul McMahan picked up the win last year at The Burg. Prior to last years event, Donny Schatz had won the previous two series events at the track.

To purchase tickets for the event visit the track's website https://lawrenceburgspeedway.com/

Entering the month of May, Brad Sweet leads the championship points race by 97 points over Larson Marks driver Shane Stewart. Rounding out the top five in points are Donny Schatz, Joey Saldana and Daryn Pittman.

Sweet has tallied five wins so far in 2016 along with Schatz. The series' next event will be tonight at Jacksonville Speedway in Illinois.

The "winged" side of life

It is still early in the season for some of the national winged sprint car series but we thought we would take a look at how some of the more prominent Indiana drivers are doing so far this season.

Joey Saldana

Saldana has started his 2016 World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series campaign on strong ground.

The "Brownsburg Bullet" picked up his second win of the season last Friday night at Devil's Bowl Speedway in Texas after picking up his first of the season at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March.

Saldana, driving the #83 Roth Motorsports car, currently sits fourth in points just 13 points back of 7-time and reigning series champion, Donny Schatz who sits in third. He is 118 points back of current points leader Brad Sweet.

On top of his two series victories, Saldana has tallied 16 top tens as well as three quick qualifier awards.

Kraig Kinser

The son of "The King" Steve Kinser is following the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions in 2016 after previously being a World of Outlaws regular.

Kinser started his season strong with ASCoC during Speedweeks when he won the series opener at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, FL. However, since then Kinser has managed only one top ten and has missed the feature in three of the series' eight feature events this season.

Kraig Kinser currently sits 13th in series points, 226 points back of points leader Dale Blaney. 

He has also tallied one top ten with the World of Outlaws in limited action.

Bryan Clauson

In case you have not heard, BC is chasing 200 races in 2016. With his campaign for 200 races comes more winged sprint car races. 

In only part time action with the World of Outlaws this season the Noblesville native has earned himself one top five as well as five top tens. 

Even with his part-time participation in the series, Clauson's consistency places him 16th in points in a series with only 13 full-time drivers that has seen 98 different drivers earn points in 2016.
