MONTH ALERT: World of Outlaws Plan Attica, Sharon Weekend During Spring Ohio Swing
HARTFORD, OH (April 18, 2024) – The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will make an early-season stop at Attica Raceway Park and Sharon Speedway during its Spring Ohio Swing.
Attica will welcome The Greatest Show on Dirt for the $12,000-to-win Attica Sprint Car Showdown on Friday, May 17. Then, the Series will venture to Sharon Speedway – owned by 1995 World of Outlaws champion and former NASCAR driver Dave Blaney – for the $12,000-to-win World of Outlaws Sprint Car Showdown on Saturday, May 18.
The two fan-favorite Ohio tracks will see the World of Outlaws stars contend against Ohio’s local talent. Last year, 10-time Series champion Donny Schatz swept the May Attica-Sharon weekend.
Ohio-native Sheldon Haudenschild will be on the hunt for his first win at both tracks. He came close to winning at Sharon in 2021, but a late-race misstep allowed Dave Blaney to pass him for the win.
