World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series set for Bakersfield Friday April 15th
PETERSEN MEDIA- The final weekend of the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series extended visit to California is upon us, and following a weekend of rain in Northern California, the stars and cars of the series are anxious to return to action as they end their drought at the Bakersfield Speedway on Friday night.
With rain also hampering the series’ last visit to the central valley in early March, anticipation is high for one last chance to see “The Greatest Show on Dirt” as they make their first appearance to the Bakersfield Speedway since the 2005 season during Friday night’s Budweiser Bash.
The return to the high banked 1/3 mile oval should provide an even playing field for many of the drivers in attendance as Friday’s event will be the first time at the track in a winged sprint car for most.
In recent action for the series, a trio of events at California bullrings has seen Jason Johnson win at the Placerville Speedway, Brad Sweet use a late race move to win at the Ocean Speedway, and most recently Donny Schatz charged from his 14th starting spot at the Silver Dollar Speedway to win the Mini Gold Cup.
As of late, California’s own wheelmen have been giving the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series drivers fits, and the Bakersfield Speedway will likely be the final opportunity for a local to steal one from the traveling organization.
A big weekend is set for Bakersfield, CA as a pre-race party is set for Thursday night the 14th, with the return of “the Greatest Show On Dirt’ set for Friday the 15th during the Budweiser Bash.
The big return of the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series will kick off on Thursday night the 14th as there is a pre race kick-off party scheduled at Chuy’s Mesquite Broiler located at 8660 Rosedale Hwy in Bakersfield, CA. Fans are encouraged to come out, enjoy some great food a drinks with the Budweiser Girls and get ready for a big night of racing with some specials guests expected to be on hand.
Tickets for the Budweiser Bash are now on sale, and fans can purchase their $40 reserved seating seats by calling 1-844-Dirt-Tix (347-8849). General Admission Tickets will be available for $35 while Kids 12-Under will be admitted for just $15.
Those wishing to camp out at the Bakersfield Speedway will be able to do so at no cost, and spots are available on a first come-first serve basis.
On April 15th, the World Of Outlaws Sprint Cars will make their return to the Bakersfield Speedway and the IMCA Modifieds, as well as the IMCA Stock Cars will join them for what should be a great night of racing during the Budweiser Bash.
