Wildfires Force Change To WoO West Coast Swing

HANFORD, Calif. – A new marquee event at Keller Auto Speedway will conclude the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series’ West Coast Swing as Placerville Speedway’s 49er Gold Rush Classic is forced to be postponed to 2022.

The originally scheduled Friday, Sept. 17, event at Keller Auto Speedway moves to Saturday, Sept. 18, and becomes the $21,000-to-win second annual Tom Tarlton Classic, replacing the now postponed Placerville Speedway race due to the facility serving as a fire rescue camp. There is no event on Friday, Sept. 17.

Those who already purchased tickets to the 49er Gold Rush Classic will be able to use them for the 2022 event at Placerville. The date of the 2022 race will be announced by the end of the year. Fans unable to make the 2022 race can request a refund when the 2022 date is announced.

If you purchased tickets to the originally scheduled Kings Outlaw Shootout at Keller Auto on Friday, Sept. 17, those tickets can be used for Saturday’s Tom Tarlton Classic at the Hanford track.
