Silver Dollar Speedway / Chico , CA
World
of Outlaws Return to 59th Gold Cup Race of Champions for Three
Nights
Mini Gold Cup March 23-24 now a two-day World of Outlaws Sprint
Car event
By: Troy Hennig
CHICO, CA – November 11, 2011...It is
with great pleasure to announce that the Silver Dollar Speedway and the World of
Outlaws have reached an agreement to bring back the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars
to a traditional three-night format for the upcoming 59th Gold Cup Race of
Champions. The event will take place September 6th, 7th and 8th of 2012.
"It was my number one priority for the speedway to make sure that we
secured the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series back to our traditional
three-nights of racing at Chico ," said promoter Dennis Gage. "I think the
drivers wanted it and I have heard from plenty of the fans that they wanted it
also. I am really excited about this upcoming Gold Cup and the show we are going
to give the fans."
Gold Cup grandstand four night ticket sales and
camping spots are still available by calling the track office at (530) 350-7275.
The office is open Monday thru Thursday from 9am – 4pm Pacific Time. The website
http://www.silverdollarspeedway.com will also have information
on this event.
The 59th Annual Gold Cup Race of Champions will continue
to offer four nights of open-wheel sprint car racing. The World of Outlaws will
run Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. With the three night agreement, the
Saturday night 40-lap feature event winner will now win a minimum of $20,000.
Kasey Kahne Racing driver and two-time Gold Cup Champion Joey Saldana of
Brownsburg , IN said, "Gold Cup has always been one of our biggest races of the
year and I always look forward to it." He continued by saying, "We have had a
lot of success there and I am happy to see it going back to three days. Anytime
you can race for big money it just makes the whole atmosphere and racing that
more exciting."
The 2011 Gold Cup Champion Kyle Larson had similar
thoughts about expanding this race back to its tradition three nights of racing.
"Gold Cup has always been a three night World of Outlaws event," said Larson.
"Growing up as a kid that's what I always remembered about the Gold Cup. Going
back to a three night format brings back the prestige of this event and adds to
the overall purse." By winning last year's Saturday night race, Larson became
the youngest Gold Cup Champion in the history of the event. It also brought car
owner Brent Kaeding his first Gold Cup Saturday night win.
The World of
Outlaws and Silver Dollar Speedway have also reached an agreement to make the
Mini Gold Cup a two night sanctioned event. The Friday and Saturday night races
will take place on March 23rd and 24th. Tickets will go on sale early next week.
Fans can purchase tickets at http://www.worldofoutlaws.com/tickets or by calling (877)
395-8606.
The Gold Cup Race of Champions has been a permanent event at
the Silver Dollar Speedway since 1980. Bloomington , IN driver Steve Kinser has
the most Gold Cup victories with 12. Only four California drivers have won the
event since 1980. They include Sacramento 's Johnny Anderson ('80), Darrel
Hanestad of San Lorenzo ('89), Jason Meyers of Clovis (2010) and Elk Grove's
Kyle Larson (2011). Wooster , OH driver Jac Haudenschild is the next most
decorated Gold Cup winner behind Kinser. The "Wild Child" has three Gold Cup
victories.
Activities held during the Gold Cup include Clyde Lamar's
"Gold Cup" Golf Classic, Joe Hunt Magentos Chili Feed and Miss Gold Cup Bikini
Contest and The JP's Paint and Body Works/Danielsen Company Gold Cup Fan
Appreciation Rib Feed.

Great news. Hope to see more spring WoO dates in Cali at Ocean, Hanaford, Tulare and Stoga. The fall WoO races proved the NorCal drivers can run up front... its also a great chance to make some $$$ as they pay $800 to start.

Reading this article, I'm confused? Doesnt it say Meyers 2010 champ then Larson 2010 champ so Garry how can there be two champs in 2010 ? From my understanding is 2010 was the last year that the true gold cup format was raced and Meyers was your champ. In 2011 wasn't the format changed to 2 one night outlaw races that paid points to outlaw drivers ( not just show up points ) which hasn't been done before? So just curios was there truly a " gold cup champ in 2011 " when the format and purse wasn't the same in years past or do we just say that the winner of Friday and Saturday races just won an outlaw feature race? Not starting a fight just asking a guy a question who claims to know it all... But I will say I'm glad that Gage has realized his mistake in 2011 and bought it back to a 3 night event in 2012..... Now hopefully the purse will also match the years before...

@goracin - completely my fault, that was an oversight on my part. Larson is the 2011 champion. In the article I wrote 2010 and meant to say 2011. I had WOO read it, I had my wife proof it and sent it to Dennis Gage before I released it. Congrats on being an eagle eye...sorry for the confusion.
Gary if you are able to edit it and put 2011 in the paragraph for me I would appreciate it.

This is from the National Speed Sport News:

track on Thursday, March 8, during the track’s NASCAR week and then
quickly roll to Southern California’s Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday,
March 10 for the World of Outlaws SoCal Showdown. The Tucson and Perris
events will be the first World of Outlaws races at those tracks since
2007.
The Outlaws will remain in California for the rest of March, heading
