The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Announces Return to Devil’s Bowl Speedway for Texas Outlaw Nationals

The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series returns to the birthplace of the series, Devil's Bowl Speedway, for the Texas Outlaw Nationals on April 22 and 23, 2016.

The new, annual tradition features two complete nights of racing action on the banked, half-mile oval in Mesquite with a Texas-sized purse totaling more than $100,000 for the weekend.

"The Texas Outlaw Nationals is a connection between our past, present and future," said World of Outlaws CEO Brian Carter. "Returning to Devil's Bowl for this new annual tradition is an exciting homecoming. Series founder Ted Johnson started the series with a vision to make it the Greatest Show on Dirt and today his vision lives on through more than 90 annual events across the United States and Canada."

In March 1978, Johnson gathered together a group of racers from across the country to start the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series. Jimmy Boyd picked up that first win at the track in suburban Dallas. Since that time, the World of Outlaws has made 55 appearances there. Three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion Sammy Swindell is the winningest driver at Devil's Bowl with 12 trips to victory lane.

It is the six-time series champion Donny Schatz though who leads the Outlaws' return. In the last three appearances since 2014, the Fargo, N.D.-native has two wins.

Ticket renewals start Monday, Sept. 21 at 9 a.m. (EST) while tickets go on sale to the public on Oct. 22. A special fan bonus will allow access to the pits with a "Fan Pit Pass" available only with tickets purchased in advance.

Two-day reserved tickets are $69 and premium reserved tickets are $79. Reserved two-day tickets for children ages 12-and-under are $30. All advance packages receive a free 'Fan Pit Pass.'
