WORLD
OF OUTLAWS SPRINT CARS HEADED TO PERRIS
AUTO SPEEDWAY MARCH 30TH!
By Scott

(Perris, CA, March 7, 2019)
The World’s fastest dirt track
sprint cars, the NOS Energy World of
Outlaws Sprint Car Series, will be making
its only 2019 appearance in Southern
California at the famous Perris Auto
Speedway on Saturday, March 30th, for the
annual “SoCal Showdown.” The race will be
part of the “World of Outlaws California
Fire Relief Tour.” Spectator gates will
open at 4:00 PM and the first race will
take the green flag at 7:00.

In conjunction
with the tracks, the World of Outlaws has
formed the Outlaws California Fire Relief
Tour, which will officially start at
Silver Dollar Speedway on Friday, March 15
and end on Saturday on the 30th at The
PAS. In addition to the money donated from
the ticket sales, Outlaws Fire Relief Tour
shirts will be sold with $5 from each
purchase going to the California fire
relief. Also, a select number of tickets
to each event will be donated to local
firemen.
“One of the
most anticipated stretches of the season,
especially for California fans, is the
World of Outlaws month-long tour in March
through the Golden State,” World of
Outlaws COO Tom Deery said in a series
release. “We wanted to do something to
help those communities heal and we
couldn’t be prouder to raise money for
California fire relief and to be donating
tickets to the firefighters, who have
become heroes to many families.”
The March 30th
appearance will be the 19th ever for the
World of Outlaws at the track locals
affectionately refer to as “The PAS.” Over
the years, ten different drivers have
posted WoO wins at the famous Riverside
County clay oval. Oolitic, Indiana’s Mark
Kinser won the first five WoO races at The
PAS from 1996 through 1998. However, in
the subsequent 13-races since, nine
different winners have graced the top step
of the podium. Owasso, Oklahoma’s Darryn
Pittman has captured two of the last six
WoO main events at The PAS. The
40-year-old’s three wins rank him second
on the all-time PAS/WoO win list behind
Kinser. David Gravel of Watertown,
Connecticut won the main the last time the
series visited Southern California in
2017. The WoO 2018 appearance of the
Outlaws was canceled due to rain.
Fargo, North
Dakota’s Donnie Schatz, who drives for
Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, heads
the field of entries for this month’s
race. The 41-year-old 10-time World of
Outlaws champion won his 254th series main
event last month in Las Vegas. Despite all
those titles and wins, Schatz has never
won a main event in Perris.
In addition to
Pittman, Schatz and Gravel, included among
the others who will be competing on March
30th are past NASCAR Monster Energy Series
driver Kasey Khane of Enumclaw,
Washington, Grass Valley, California’s
Brad Sweet, 2007 PAS winner Ian Madsen
from Sydney, Australia, Jason Sides of
Bartlett, Tennessee, Wooster, Ohio’s
Sheldon Haudenschild, 2015 PAS winner Paul
McMahon of Elk Grove, California, Hanover,
Pennsylvania drivers Jacob Allen and Logan
Schuchart, Shane Stewart of Bixby,
Oklahoma and Bloomington, Indiana’s Kraig
Kinser.
Fans who
purchase reserved or premiere seat tickets
in advance to the “SoCal Showdown” will
receive a free “World of Outlaws Fan Pit
Pass.” The fan pit pass will allow the
spectators to get up close to the WoO
stars to take photos, meet the drivers,
get autographs and purchase merchandise
straight from their favorite teams.
Advance tickets are available 24-hours a
day at the following link:
http://www.woosprint.com/perris-auto-speedway
or by calling at 1-844-DIRT-TIX. For those
who do not wish to purchase advance
tickets, there will be plenty available
for everyone at the ticket window on the
night of the race.
As an added
treat for the fans, the west coast’s
premiere traditional (non-wing) sprint car
series, the Amsoil USAC/CRA Sprint Cars,
will also be competing on the night. The
non-wing field will be headed by
seven-time series champion Damion Gardner
of Concord, California and arch-rival
Brody Roa of Garden Grove. Those two
veterans will face a strong challenge from
Anaheim’s Jake Swanson, “The Big Game
Hunter” Austin Williams of Yorba Linda,
Cody Williams of Corona, R.J. Johnson of
Laveen, Arizona and more.
The PAS Young
Gun Sprints, for drivers 14-25-years-old
with no prior sprint car experience, and
Senior Sprints for drivers 40 and over,
will complete the exciting
quadruple-header.
