Halfway Done and The "Month Of Money" Rolls

The World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series has passed the midpoint of the 2016 season as the series stares down the 'Month of Money' and one of the biggest weeks of the season with the Brad Doty Classic at Attica Raceway Park on tap for Tuesday, July 12 and the newly-expanded and richer-than-ever Kings Royal kicking off at Eldora Speedway on Thursday, July 14 and running through Saturday, July 16.

Here are some of the numbers that have defined the season and will dominate the upcoming week.

320,975 - The record purse for the 33rd Annual Kings Royal at Eldora Speedway. The winner of Thursday night will receive $10,000-to-win, Friday night's winner takes home an increased $12,000 and Saturday's winner receives the traditional $50,000 purse. New this year, more than half of the finishing positions in Saturday's Kings Royal finale see the to-win amounts doubled.

219,400 - Donny Schatz's feature winnings so far in 2016. He leads the pack with feature winnings.

223 - Daryn Pittman has led 223 laps this season - the most of any driver. Pittman also has the most pole positions of any driver so far in 2016 with 10.

47 - The total number of completed features so far in 2016. So far, 6 races have either been cancelled or postponed due to rain.

34 - Brad Sweet led the championship points battle for 34 straight races to start the 2016 season. Donny Schatz took the lead on Knoxville Raceway on June 10. Sweet took the lead back briefly on June 15. Schatz has held the lead since and has built a 118 point lead over Sweet.

28 - The Brad Doty Classic celebrates its 28th running this week at Attica Raceway Park. The Ohio track was the original home of the event and returns as host after a 10-year run at Limaland Motorsports Park.

15 - the total number of different winners during the 2016 season, so far. Seven of those drivers have multiple wins on the season.

8 - Eight different drivers have stood in victory lane at the Kings Royal in the last eight seasons. Shane Stewart is the most recent driver to complete the feat last season.
