Weedsport Ahead For World Of Outlaws Sprint Cars

WEEDSPORT, N.Y. – When the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series rolls into Weedsport Speedway on Sunday, fans may need to double-check their programs and scoring apps.

Several team shake-ups in the off-season have led to seat swapping this season and positive results for all involved.

Of those making changes, Daryn Pittman has led the way in the early season, riding third in the standings as of May 10 in the Roth Motorsports No. 83.

A former World of Outlaws series champion driving for Kasey Kahne Racing, Pittman was forced to find a new ride this season when KKR consolidated their efforts for this year.

Pittman landed with the always-competitive Roth effort, winning the first two events of the year at Florida’s Volusia Speedway Park.

Joining Pittman with two wins on the season is David Gravel, the new full-time pilot of the Jason Johnson Racing No. 41.

From 2016-2018, Gravel competed behind the wheel of the CJB Motorsports No. 5, winning 32 A-Mains in three seasons. However, following the untimely passing of former Knoxville Nationals champion Jason Johnson, Gravel was given the call to take over in the No. 41.

Gravel rides fifth in the standings as of May 10, just behind another driver moving to a new team, Carson Macedo.

Macedo, Weedsport’s All-Star Circuit of Champions winner from a year ago, is competing in his first full-time season with the Outlaws, filling the seat in the Kyle Larson Racing No. 2 vacated by Shane Stewart.

The California young gun has one World of Outlaws win this season, coming at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., with 12 top-10 finishes in 14 starts.

With all that said, Shane Stewart slides into the CJB Motorsports No. 5 for 2019.

Stewart, a 33-time World of Outlaws winner who finished second in the standings in 2015, sits seventh in points as of May 10 with eight top-10 finishes in 14 races.

These new-look competitors join the rest of the full-time Outlaws at Weedsport in 2019, including current series point leaders Donny Schatz – in the Tony Stewart Racing No. 15 – and Brad Sweet, the reigning Knoxville Nationals winner driving the KKR No. 49.

Fellow Outlaws Logan Schuchart, Ian Madsen, Sheldon Haudenschild, Kraig Kinser, Brent Marks, Jason Sides and Jacob Allen will be in the pit area as well fighting for the victory in the Empire State Challenge, won last year by Marks in a thrilling battle with Haudenschild.

The most recent winner on the Outlaws tour this season is 10-time series champion Schatz.

Schatz dominated night one of #LetsRaceTwo weekend at Eldora Speedway on Friday, with night two lost to rain. The victory at Eldora, his second of the season, moved Schatz to the point lead over Sweet and gave Schatz his 14th straight top-10 finish to start the season.

The Fargo, N.D., veteran is the only driver to finish in the top 10 in all 14 races this year.
