SAUK RAPIDS, Minn. — May 21, 2015 — The World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Presented by Marthaler Chevrolet of Glenwood will visit Granite City Speedway in Sauk Rapids for the first time ever on Tuesday, June 16. “The Greatest Show on Dirt” features the best sprint car drivers in the world racing wheel-to-wheel in 900-horsepower winged sprint cars. The series will compete nearly 90 times this season at 59 tracks in 23 states and three Canadian provinces, making it the most grueling schedule in any form of motorsports.

Sweet is currently third in points, while Pittman is seventh, after missing a couple of races last month, following an accident in California, in which he suffered a broken collarbone that required surgery, as well cracked ribs.
