World of Outlaws Return to Calistoga Speedway on Sunday, Sept. 9
The rain-delayed sprint car event is part of the five-race California Outlaw Speedweek
CALISTOGA, Calif. – Aug. 28, 2012 – It’s been a long rain delay, but the patient California sprint car fans are in for a treat in early September.
The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series returns to the Golden State with a unique California Outlaw Speedweek, featuring five races in as many days. Sandwiched in the middle of the weekend is the lone event at Calistoga Speedway on Sunday, Sept. 9.
The race, which was originally scheduled for March 31, succumbed to heavy rain.
“We rained out earlier there this year and to go back and make that show up should be great for the fans out there and it’ll be good for all of us to get in there and get some racing done,” said Craig Dollansky, who won at Calistoga Speedway in 2006.
The 59th annual Gold Cup kicks off the Speedweek Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 6-8, at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. The teams will then head approximately 130 miles southeast toward the coast for the event at Calistoga Speedway before wrapping up the California schedule on Monday, Sept. 10, at Antioch Speedway in Antioch.
