For the second time ever the World Of Outlaw Sprint Series will visit Willamette Speedway. The best drivers in the world will be on at the historic 1/3-mile clay oval on Tuesday September 3rd. In addition to the 410 Sprint Cars the IMCA Modifieds will be in competition. If you missed this race last year you missed a thriller.
The 2012 edition featured Australian Kerry Madsen hold off a primed and determined Donny Schatz for the victory. Both drivers will be back as well as Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell, Joey Saldana, and many more. Also NASCAR Nationwide super star Kyle Larson will be in the house hot off of his sweep of the Sunday portion of the Louie Vermeil Classic at the Calistoga Speedway.
The support class for the evening as mentioned above will be the IMCA Modifieds. So far this year there have been twelve different winners in in sixteen events. Craig Cassell leads the win chart with his three main event victories over Joey Tanner and Monte Bischoff who each have two. Drivers with just a single victory include Brett James, Jeffrey Rivers, Kyle Yeack, Dustin Dittman, Brody Pompe, Mark Wauge, Mark Carrell, Jesse Williamson, and Alex Stanford.

Ticket prices are Adults $40.00, Senior (62+)/Military/Junior (7-17) $35.00, Youths 6 & Under $10.00, and Pit Passes are $50.00.
