WORLD OF OUTLAWS COMES TO DESIGN FOR VISION/SUNGLASS CENTRAL SPEEDWAY AT BRIDGEPORT

The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will come to Bridgeport’s Design for Vision/Sunglass Central Speedway on Tuesday, May 21st for their only appearance in the Garden State during the 2019 season.

Since 1978, the World of Outlaws have traveled throughout the United States, thrilling Sprint Car fans throughout the country.  Almost six million dollars in purses and prize money is up for grabs for the competitors this season – a season that began in Volusia, FL in February and will conclude at the World Finals in Charlotte in November.

This event will mark the first ever for the World of Outlaws at the Bridgeport Speedway.

Fans can expect to see WoO regulars like Donny Schatz, Daryn Pittman, Carson Macedo, David Gravel, Ian Madsen and Pennsylvania’s own Logan Schuchart and Jacob Allen.  The Pennsylvania Posse will be on hand to challenge the WoO regulars when they come to Bridgeport.  Fans can expect to see drivers like Ryan Smith, Danny Dietrich, Lance DeWease, Freddie Rahmer and Steve Buckwalter to mention just a few.

Pittman opened the year with two wins in Florida.  Tim Shaffer, Logan Schuchart, David Gravel and Brad Sweet have added their names to the list of drivers with two wins a piece.  Donny Schatz, Ian Madsen and Aaron Reutzel each have claimed a single victory as the WoO heads to the east in mid-May.  At this time, Donny Schatz sits on top of the point standings, just fourteen points ahead of Brad Sweet.  Pittman, Macedo and Gravel round out the top five at this writing.

The South Jersey Overhead Door 602 Crate Sportsman will be on the race card with the World of Outlaws on this race date.

Pit Gates will open at 2pm, Grandstands will be opening at 4pm and racing will get underway for this double-header show at 7:30 pm.  Pit Admission is $40, General Admission for grandstands is $35 and Reserved seating is $39.
