48 Sprints Targeting Charlotte Dirt Track Glory

CONCORD, N.C. – Nearly 50 of the country’s top sprint car drivers are expected to be in attendance when the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series closes its season this weekend at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.

Led by defending tour champion Brad Sweet and 10-time titlist Donny Schatz, the field for the World of Outlaws Last Call features five drivers who have previously won the World of Outlaws crown, as well as nine past feature winners at the four-tenths-mile dirt track.

In addition to Sweet and Schatz – who will pilot their familiar entries for Kasey Kahne Racing with Mike Curb and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, respectively – three-time champion Sammy Swindell, 2013 titlist Daryn Pittman and 1995 king Dave Blaney are expected to be in attendance.

David Gravel, who swept last November’s World Finals doubleheader at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, will seek to extend his winning record during the Last Call. It’s his final weekend with Jason Johnson Racing before moving over to Big Game Motorsports for the 2021 World of Outlaws campaign.

Carson Macedo will give Kyle Larson Racing its final hurrah with the World of Outlaws as he chases a maiden Charlotte victory, while Oklahoma’s Wayne Johnson and California’s Mason Daniel settle the fight for Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year honors.

Past World of Outlaws winners at Charlotte expected to be in the field include Swindell, Schatz, Gravel, Pittman, Schuchart, Ian Madsen, Greg Wilson, Brian Brown and Paul McMahan.

Notables not on from the entry list include Aaron Reutzel, who was announced as the new driver of the Roth Motorsports No. 83 for 2021 on Friday morning, and 2019 May Charlotte winner Gio Scelzi.

Scelzi is closing his ARCA Menards Series West season out on Saturday at Arizona’s Phoenix Raceway with Bill McAnally Racing, leading to his absence from the two-day Charlotte weekend.

The complete provisional entry list can be viewed below.

Action for the opening night of the Last Call is scheduled to begin at approximately 5 p.m.
