\"\"World of Outlaws STP Sprint Cars start at UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

BARBERVILLE, Fla. – Jan. 11, 2013 – It’s been a long, eventful offseason for Daryn Pittman.<\/p>\n

There’s the annual Chili Bowl, where Pittman races his own midget each January to start the year, and a flight to Australia for some competition against the Aussies.<\/p>\n

Oh, and then there’s that ride change that happened.<\/p>\n

Pittman now drives for Kasey Kahne Racing, which he will debut in the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series season-opening event – the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment at Volusia Speedway Park Feb. 12-23.<\/p>\n

Pittman and the rest of the sprint car drivers have a practice night on Tuesday, Feb. 12, before five straight nights of racing on the fast half mile.<\/p>\n

“It’s a long year, a lot of races,” he said. “You want to start off strong and try to keep that momentum going, but at the end of the day it’s a long year.”<\/p>\n

Volusia Speedway Park hosts the All Star Circuit of Champions on Feb. 13-14 before the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Cars hit the track for their first official dates of the 2013 season Feb. 15-17.<\/p>\n

While Pittman and a variety of other drivers have spent part of the offseason racing at the Chili Bowl, in Australia or New Zealand, or on an X-box, the start of the season will be fresh for the more than 30 top-notch drivers who are headed to the UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit.<\/p>\n

“Everybody is going in with a clean slate,” Pittman said. “I like a new track or a place we haven’t raced in a while.”<\/p>\n

Every night is a doubleheader and there are FREE Fan Pit Passes with every ticket. Tickets can be ordered online by clicking WorldofOutlaws.com\/tickets<\/a> or by calling 877-395-8606.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
