Sammy Swindell claims his 9th World of Outlaw victory  this year and it came to him at River Cities Speedway and claimed $10,000 in prize money.

Sammy ran a strong race and held off our North Dakota home state 4 time World of Outlaw Champion Donny Schatz who was working hard to save his tires as rubber was down on the track and he needed to save his tires.  Donny commented he likes the racy track here at River Cities Speedway. 

The World of Outlaw point leader Craig Dollansky  came in 3rd and was only running on 7 cylinders since lap 2 of the 40 pap feature.  Craig has won many races at River Cities Speedway and very well could have won if his Sprint Car was firing on all 8 cylinders.

Video ~ World Record Lap time set at River Cities Speedway

Watch the World of Outlaws Salute River Cities Speedway 4 wide

The World of Outlaw Sprint Cars and the Northern Late Models are running tonight at "The Bullring" which  brings a lot of excitement and one one heck of a great show for all.  Especially when you have to consider River Cities Speedway is the "FASTEST" lap time track of all the pro dirt tracks on the planet! Can you imagine just a few years ago the track record was broken like 18 times in 1 night during World of Outlaw qualifying. (See Video in this posting).  Lap times were in the 9 second range which is World Record number 1.  River Cities Speedway is the official "Fastest" track the pros race on!  Exciting and has to be seen to believe, very hard to keep the cars on the track at those speeds and sometimes they go for one heck of a tumble... This is one show everyone has to see to believe!  

Just last year during a World of Outlaw Sprint Car feature the King of Outlaws Steve Kinser and 4 time World of Outlaw Champion Donny Schatz exchanged the lead 9 times in the same race.   That was world record number 2 for the most lead changes ever in a World of Outlaw feature race and it all happened at River Cities Speedway.  That is just another reason why people call the River Cities Speedway "The Bullring"

The Bullring earned yet another World Record this year when the World of Outlaw Late Models were in town for the closest finish ever.  The difference between 1st and 2nd place was only 0.024 tenths of a second.  That earned the track World Record number 3.

Will more records be broken tonight at "The Bullring" ?  See you at the track, gates open at 5:30, see you there!
