Record Fields Charge Into Bad Boy Buggies World Finals

A huge crowd for Thursday night's qualifying rounds

CONCORD, N.C. (Nov. 5, 2015) track release - A record 189 cars rolled onto The Dirt Track at Charlotte Thursday Nov. 5 for the Bad Boy Buggies World of Outlaws World Finals. The prestigious World Finals combines dirt racing’s three premiere divisions, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, and the Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds.

Sammy Swindell led the record 58-car field in the first World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series session of the weekend with a lap time of 12.506 seconds, raising the bar for Friday’s racing action. "It makes it a lot easier to get locked into the dash and get that good spot to start in the A main," said Swindell, driver of the No. 1 Big Game Tree Stands car for CJB Motorsports. Kerry Madsen set the second fastest lap of the night, followed by Shane Stewart.

In the second World of Outlaws Sprint Cup Series qualifying session for Saturday’s action, Joey Saldana had the quickest time of 12.904 seconds. "We've had fast cars all year - we just need to finish it off," Saldana said. "We've done it a few times but not enough. Hopefully we can do it again this weekend. It's a great venue to race at and a lot people get to see us that don't normally get to see us. I've been lucky enough to win here a couple of times…. Hopefully we can do that in the next few days," he added. Brad Sweet was second fastest, followed by Brent Marks at a close third.

Chris Ferguson led the 86-car field in the first World of Outlaws Late Model series session with a 14.744 second lap time, setting the pace for Friday night’s race. Josh Richards was behind him in second, followed by Scott Bloomquist.

In the trial session for Saturday’s racing for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, Darrell Lanigan topped the charts with a lap time of 14.999 seconds. Josh Richards finished second and Jimmy Owens third.

The first round round of Big-Block Modified heat races set the field for Friday’s A-Feature. Pete Britten was quickest overall with a 15.746 second lap, followed by Tim Kerr and Max McLaughlin. Originally scheduled for Thursday, the second round of Big-Block Modified heat races have been adjusted to Saturday, adding to an already action packed championship night.

Full racing programs are on tap for all three divisions Friday and Saturday with each night highlighted by $12,000-to-win main events for both the World of Outlaw Sprint Car Series and World of Outlaw Late Model Series and $8,000-to-win main events for the Super DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds.
