FULTON, N.Y – October 4, 2016 – The final race of the 2016 season at Fulton Speedway will feature the ‘Greatest Show On DIRT’ when Kenny Wallace Driving Experience presents the ‘Saturday Night Special’ with the Craftsman World of Outlaw Sprint Cars.
The intensity for the modifieds will be turned up as they will battle for the ‘Win and You’re In’ final starting spot for the Modified Super DIRTcar Series Bud Lite 300 during NAPA Super DIRT Week XLV at the Oswego Speedway on Sunday, October 9.
Cory Reed, the General Manager for Fulton and Brewerton Speedways, said the excitement of Saturday’s show will set the tone for the weekend finale, which is set to happen just a “crow’s walk” away from Oswego Speedway NAPA Super DIRT Week XLV. He said the combination of the World of Outlaws and Super DIRTcar Series will deliver the one-two punch fans will remember.
”I think the biggest thing is it just makes sense for Fulton to host that event because of its proximity to Oswego,” Reed said. “We share a lot of fans and attention in this area. So to have both tracks operating in the biggest racing spectacle in the Northeast, it just makes sense.”
The Craftsman World of Outlaw Sprint Cars will be led by current points leader Donny Schatz. He will be looking to hold off series hot shoes Daryn Pittman, David Gravel, Brad Sweet, Joey Saldana, Shane Stewart, Jason Johnson, Logan Schuchart, Jason Sides, Paul McMahan, Greg Wilson, Jacob Allen and other Sprint Car Stars.
The last time the series was at the Speedway Daryn Pittman picked up the thrilling A-Main win over Donny Schatz and local racing favorite Jessica Friesen.
The track record for the methanol eating, winged 410 beasts is held by David Gravel on July 13, 2014 as he ripped around the ‘Highbanks’ in an incredible 13.711 seconds.
