CORNELIUS, N.C. (July 23, 2018) - The format for the third annual Kyle Larson’s Outlaw Kart Showcase Presented by BRANDT has been announced. This year’s event at Cycleland Speedway in Chico, Calif., will once again be spread over the two nights of September 3rd and 4th.
A change to this year’s format will see a return to qualifying on the clock to set heat race lineups in the Open Division on Monday.
The opener will also see qualifying for the Box Stocks and 250 Intermediates, with heat races to follow for all three divisions. Opens will cap the first night with a 30 lap feature race open to the top 20 fastest qualifiers. The last chance races for the Open division drivers and feature races for all divisions will be contested on Tuesday.
The highest guaranteed purse in Outlaw Kart racing will pay $6000 to the Open division champion. If the winner of the Showcase on Tuesday is a transfer car from the B-main a $1000 bonus will be paid, making that driver’s total haul $7000. Also, a generous sponsorship from Terry Brown and Mancamp Motorsports has allowed the Box Stock and 250 Intermediate divisions to race for $500 and $1000 to win, respectively.
“I’m really looking forward to this year’s format,” said Larson. “There has been some sentiment to take out the element of luck involved in the draw format used in the past for the Opens at the Showcase. So, qualifying will put the burden back on the Open drivers to gain a good starting spot in their heat race. With the importance of qualifying in this format, it will be fun to see who takes advantage of it.”
