Merced Speedway Added to 2020 Tour in Place of Spring Calistoga Event
Ocean Speedway event moved to Saturday, April 11, and Fall Calistoga Event still planned
CALISTOGA, CA – Jan. 9, 2020 – The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Friday, April 10, will return to Merced Speedway and the Ocean Speedway event will now take place Saturday, April 11. The changes are the result of the Spring Calistoga Speedway event being canceled due to local governance matters.

The scheduled Saturday, Sept. 19, Wine Country Outlaw Showdown at Calistoga Speedway is unaffected by the matters. And tickets are on sale now.
A delay in the finalization of a purchase agreement by the City of Calistoga and Napa County has extended the due diligence period to May 1 – not allowing racing at Calistoga Speedway until that time.
