World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series Returns to Arizona for First Time since 2009

TUCSON, Ariz. - Jan. 8, 2012 - It's been a long wait for sprint car fans in Arizona.  The last time the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series competed in the Grand Canyon State was March 2009, when Chad Kemenah dominated the feature to claim the final checkered flag at famed Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix.

The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Cars are set to return to Arizona for the Wildcat Shootout on Saturday, March 9, at Tucson International Raceway, which last hosted an STP Sprint Car event in 2007.

"Usually it's really, really neat because the fans don't get to see us very often," Kemenah said. "It's neat for us because you have a little more even playing field."

Paul McMahan and reigning series champion Donny Schatz each won a race at Tucson International Raceway in 2006. Steve Kinser, a 20-time World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series champion, earned the victory in March of 2007.
