This coming season is the 12th overall year of the Merle Stone Chevrolet Thunderbowl Raceway hosting the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series. The inaugural event occurred in September of 2003 when 20-time series champion Steve Kinser of Bloomington, Indiana scored the victory over Aliquippa, Pennsylvania's Tim Shaffer and local favorite Jason Meyers from Clovis, CA.
Last year’s World of Outlaws main events in March at the Thunderbowl were captured by Elk River, Minnesota’s Craig Dollansky and San Jose, California’s Tim Kaeding respectively. For Dollansky it marked his first ever Thunderbowl win and for Kaeding it was his third career WOO triumph at the track. The double-header this coming March in Tulare will also fire-off a five-week stint for the series in California.
The Merle Stone Chevrolet Thunderbowl Raceway is located at the Tulare County Fairgrounds on the corner of Bardsley and K Streets in Tulare, California. From the junction of SR 99 and SR 137, go west on SR 137. At South K go south one-half mile to the Fairgrounds.
Camping is also available at the fairgrounds located off turns three and four. The all-time track record at the track is a 12.651, which was set by two-time Golden State/ King of the West 410 champion Tim Kaeding on March 5, 2010. Be sure & like the track on Facebook by searching Thunderbowl Raceway.
