What is Sprint Car Racing?
Sprint cars are small open-wheel machines with 900+ hp methanol-fuelled engines and huge overhead wings for downforce, racing on 400–800 m clay ovals in North America and Australia. The World of Outlaws is the top touring series; the annual Knoxville Nationals in Iowa is the sport's biggest race.
