For this week's #ThrowbackThursday, we head back to 1991 as the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars make a stop at the Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana. Enjoy the show as Steve Kinser (#11), Doug Wolfgang (#49), and Stevie Smith (#77) make their bids for the win!
The World of Outlaws are hoping into what I feel is a super underrated weekend. Most of the hype over the past week has been about the Outlaws heading to I-55 and then the PA Posse vs Outlaw hype machine is in full effect.
We aren't giving as much media exposure to the amazing weekend on tap when the greatest show on dirt goes from Tri-City Speedway in Granite Illinois, to Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt Indiana.
Haubstadt Indiana is a badass bullring for grownups. No other wya to say it this place puts on amazing racing each and every time the World of Outlaws show up.
One of the most unpredictable venues on the schedule returns on Saturday, April 23 with Tri-State Speedway taking center stage. The Haubstadt, IN 1/4-mile paper clip has produced five first-time winners across 42 races, including notables Parker Price-Miller and Carson Short in recent years. Among full-timers, Carson Macedo and David Gravel – both with two wins – are the only ones to conquer the unique facility.
With another week until the next swing starts, Grass Valley, CA’s Brad Sweet currently leads the early-season standings in pursuit of his fourth consecutive World of Outlaws championship. Closely behind him is Carson Macedo (-20), David Gravel (-22), Sheldon Haudenschild (-46), and Giovanni Scelzi (-88), with each of those four claiming two victories apiece as of now.
It's throwback Thursday and we have hunted down some great clips from both speedways, check them out and gear up for the World of Outlaws weekend action.
The Friday, April 22 slot brings The Greatest Show on Dirt back to Tri-City Speedway for the first time in 14 years. 10-time Series champion Donny Schatz won the most recent appearance at the Granite City, IL 3/8-mile in 2008, which was his fifth of 200+ victories driving the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing #15.
