Outlaws at Ohsweken tonight
By Clayton Johns, WOO Sprint Series PR (Ohsweken, ONT, Canada) -- The World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series is in the midst of the busiest stretch on the 2017 schedule, and the task at hand doesn't get easier anytime soon. The Series heads into Canada at Ontario's Ohsweken Speedway tonight (Tue. July 25) for the Arrow Express Six Nations Showdown.
The high-banked, 3/8-mile oval has been an annual stop for the Outlaws since 2007. Donny Schatz won the Series visit last year, while Stewart Friesen upset the Outlaws and became the second Canadian driver to ever win an Outlaw race during the 2015 edition of the Six Nations Showdown. Schatz has earned a Series-high four wins at Ohsweken, followed closely by Jason Sides with three victories.
When the Outlaws stop at Ohsweken this year, they'll have two familiar outside forces to contend with: Kyle Larson and Rico Abreu. Both drivers have won against the Outlaws already this year and are confirmed entrants for the event. They'll each look to earn their second Outlaw victories of the season during the stop.
"I am really excited to make my first trip to Canada and also to be racing a Sprint Car," Larson said. "Ohsweken has always produced great racing with multiple lines, so it should be fun to try and adapt to the track."
Abreu will also be making his first Ohsweken start during his trip north.
"I'm excited to compete in Canada at the famous Ohsweken Speedway," Abreu said. "All I have heard is great things about the racing surface as well as the facility. It is definitely something we're looking forward to."
