Story By: CHRIS MOORE / NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY – NEW EGYPT, NJ – The Greatest Show on Dirt. On Friday, October 10, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars return to New Egypt Speedway for the first time since 2017.
The most famous touring Sprint Car series in the country invades the confines of Central Jersey for the 10th time in series history.
Defending World of Outlaws Champion David Gravel was the winner in ’17 when the World of Outlaws last visited New Egypt Speedway.
Gravel topped Donny Schatz and Brad Sweet to take home the victory.
The World of Outlaws have trekked upon New Egypt Speedway on nine different occasions, with the inaugural taking place in July of 2001 when Schatz was victorious.
New Jersey native P.J. Chesson claimed one of his two career World of Outlaws wins the following year.
Schatz returned to Victory Lane in ’03 and ‘The King,’ Steve Kinser topped the field when the series returned in 2007.
The series took a hiatus until 2013 and when Daryn Pittman dominated for the next four years. The Oklahoman won four consecutive years from ’13-’16 before Gravel topped him and the rest of the stars of the World of Outlaws in ’17.
Now, the World of Outlaws prepare to tackle the tricky oval for the first time in over eight years.
The Four Cylinders will also be on the docket for the Friday night affair.
