BARBERVILLE, Fla. — The Low-E Insulation FL to PA Spring Showdown for the NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will be more lucrative than originally planned as the company has doubled the purse for the early-season six-race series.
Utilizing the standard World of Outlaws points system, the top-three points earners during the stretch from Volusia Speedway Park (March 5-6), Port Royal Speedway (March 10-11), Williams Grove Speedway (March 17) and Lincoln Speedway (March 18) will earn $10,000 for first, $6,000 for second and $4,000 for third.
The company, which offers distribution locations near racing fans in Scranton, Pa., and Orange Park, Fla., will also serve as the official sponsor of qualifying for The Greatest Show on Dirt.
“It’s exciting to give sprint car fans an added storyline to follow with the FL to PA Spring Showdown,” said Tom Miller, president of Low-E Insulation. “The dirt racing community in both areas is incredibly passionate, so we’re excited to not only grow our involvement with the Series but with the drivers, the tracks, and the fans as well. We’re excited to see who can come out on top.”
Beginning at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., the six-race series starts with a Bike Week special on March 5-6. Six of the full-time World of Outlaws drivers have already won at Volusia, led by the two champions Donny Schatz (14 wins) and Brad Sweet (6 wins). The return to Volusia comes three weeks after DIRTcar Nationals, meaning Volusia will host a record five World of Outlaws races in 2023.
Driving from the Sunshine State to the Keystone State, teams will head north along the east coast and find two weeks of racing against the Pennsylvania Posse — something never done before in the month of March.
Port Royal Speedway welcomes the World of Outlaws for the first of four shows on Friday and Saturday, March 10-11.
On March 17, Williams Grove Speedway will expand its record as the most-visited track in Series history by hosting the first of seven World of Outlaws races with a one-night battle in Mechanicsburg, Pa.
On March 18, Lincoln Speedway takes center stage with the first of two stops in Abbottstown, Pa., this season.
“Anytime you can bring new sponsors into the sport it’s a great thing, especially when they’re committed to helping the racers,” said reigning World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year Spencer Bayston. “There’s room for improvement for us at Volusia, but I know Barry [Jackson] is super comfortable at those Pennsylvania tracks and the No. 5 unloads extra-fast out of the box when we’re close to the shop. This will be an exciting little mini-series to get the year going.”
