headed in the right direction with the 360 motors.” said Beitler “I am looking forward to a long and successful relationship with the NSCS.”

World of Outlaws Invading Castrol Raceway

CONCORD, N.C. Dec. 1, 2006 For the first time in World of Outlaws history, the greatest sprint car drivers in the world will slide into Castrol Raceway next season for the Oil City Cup, the series only two-day event in Canada.

The Greatest Show on Dirt will invade Edmonton Aug. 17-18 during the 2007 World of Outlaws Gold Rush Tour through the Pacific Northwest. Defending World of Outlaws champion and 2006 Knoxville Nationals winner Donny Schatz will lead the Outlaws to the 3/8-mile oval chasing a combined purse of nearly INV100,000. But winning wont be easy as legendary Steve Kinser takes aim at Schatz along with 2001 champion Danny Lasoski when the Outlaws return to Canada next season for the first time since 1982.

We are very excited to have the World of Outlaws at Castrol Raceway in 2007, said Castrol Raceway President Rob Reeves. The World of Outlaws has the best Sprint Car drivers in the business who put on a great event for the fans. Edmonton has been waiting for a dirt track race of this caliber for some time and we are proud to say we now have one. We look forward to working with the team from SLS Promotions and DIRT MotorSports to put on the best Sprint Car event Edmonton has ever seen.

The intensity will be fierce when the World of Outlaws roll into Castrol Raceway as the focus will shift to the annual Gold Rush Tour, a series of high-profile events through the Northwest culminating with the Gold Cup Race of Champions in Chico, Calif. In addition, the championship battle also will intensify, with Schatz trying to defend his title as Kinser and Lasoski aim to add more hardware to their mantels. In addition, Craig Dollansky and Joey Saldana, who finished second and third in the 2006 standings, will no doubt be positioned for a run at their first championships.

The competition will be unlike anything the World of Outlaws has seen in a long time, said World of Outlaws Series Director Carlton Reimers. When we roll into Castrol Raceway, there is potential for 10 or more teams to be in championship contention and the Gold Rush Tour will go a long way toward determining who will eventually become the champion.

The World of Outlaws last completed a feature in Canada during the 1982 season when Sammy Swindell captured the main event at Winnipeg Speedway in Manitoba.
