Defending tour champion, Ricky Lewis, has won the first 2 events this season at Lawrenceburg and most recently at Florence Speedway. There is a strong contingent of drivers chasing Lewis, led by Korbyn Hayslett, fresh off his runner-up at Florence and Jesse Vermillion who completed the podium there. Newcomers on the tour this season, Rylan Gray and Kyle Shipley, both pose a serious threat along with tour stars Lee Underwood, Blake Vermillion, Dustin Ingle, Steve Little and Blake Vermillion.

All cars must be on four corner Hoosier Tires. The right rear must be a spec Medium, D15A or H15. We do not mark tires. All drivers must use the Raceiver radio at all times the car is under power. We will be using the yellow Westhold transponders which are $10 rental at Circle City and free at Lawrenceburg.
Mufflers are NOT required at Circle City but they ARE required at Lawrenceburg on Saturday. BOSS will have tires available this weekend. Teams are encouraged to reserve their chalk sizes ahead of time. As always, there are no membership or entry fees to race with the Buckeye Outlaw Sprint Series.
In this modern era, we encourage the fans to get out and directly support the tracks by buying a ticket and enjoying the races in person. These are two fine facilities that deserve the fan support. There is no better experience than the sights, sounds and smells of methanol burning outlaw sprint cars. However, if you just can't make it to the track, you can catch all the action live on TheCushion.
