World of Outlaws Partner with IRA Sprint Car Series for Cornfest
Series takes on Angell Park Speedway for the first time ever on Aug. 21
CONCORD, N.C. — Aug. 10, 2016 — The World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series has partnered with the Bumper-to-Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Car Series for the Cornfest on Sunday, Aug. 21 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wis.
The event, which takes place during the annual Sweet Corn Festival, will be the Outlaws first ever appearance at the historic, 1/3-mile Angell Park.
“We are excited to join the IRA Sprints for this great event and the opportunity to see the Outlaws take on Angell Park,” said World Racing Group CEO Brian Carter. “The IRA regulars provide the Outlaw regulars some of their toughest competition all season. I have no doubt, Cornfest will be one to remember.”
Earlier this season, IRA regular Bill Balog dominated the World of Outlaws event at Beaver Dam (Wis.) Raceway, scoring his first ever series win.
“Having the Outlaws join the IRA at Cornfest marks the continuation of a great relationship between these two series,” said IRA Sprint Car Series President Steve Sinclair. “We are excited at the opportunity to make Cornfest even bigger this year with the addition of the World of Outlaws.”
Joining the Outlaws and IRA Sprints for Cornfest will be the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association. This will be the second time this season the series has joined the Outlaws, after taking on Rockford Speedway in June.
Tickets for Cornfest will be available soon at SLSPromotions.com.

Note:
- Our teams pay is based on both purses, thus if IRA car wins it gets $10,000 not $2500, however if our best car is 10th it would get our first place $2500 as it exceeds WoO 10th place. Same would be true for other IRA finishing positions that pay more than the WoO $800 start $. 2. No IRA team will receive less than $200, many B positions pay more. 3. IRA membership cards will be honored for $25 as usual. 4. We receive our full sanction fee and our teams will receive our normal tow money package. 5. WoO membership fee's for teams who have yet to purchase them will be waived as it is hyped as a co-sanction. 6. IRA points will be awarded, exact point structure will be announced at Friday Wilmot Fair race. 7. It is Bumper To Bumper Night as employees and special clients have ticket/concession packages for this night.
