Scelzi Set for Debut at Bakersfield, Perris and USA Raceway This Weekend

Inside Line Promotions – FRESNO, Calif. (April 11, 2016) – Dominic Scelzi will make his debut at a trio of tracks this weekend with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.

Scelzi will tackle Bakersfield Speedway in Bakersfield, Calif., on Friday for the Budweiser Bash before competing on Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, Calif., for the SoCal Showdown and Monday at USA Raceway in Tucson, Ariz., for the NAPA Wildcat Shootout.

“I’ve been to Perris to watch one non-wing race,” he said. “Other than that I haven’t been to any of them. I think we’re going to go in with the same mindset we’ve had for pretty much the whole year. We want to time in decent during qualifying and move forward in our heat race to give us a good starting position. If we can run in the top 10 in each feature that’ll be great for us.”

Scelzi is coming off his career-best World of Outlaws result when he charged from 12th to a fourth-place result on April 2 at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., during the Mini Gold Cup. He also powered from 18th to eighth during a World of Outlaws event in California two weeks prior.

“This is the best I’ve ever started a season in any year I’ve run the sprint car,” he said. “I have more confidence now than I’ve ever had. I feel so comfortable in my Schnee Chassis and these motors are running great. I’m excited for this weekend to learn and see how I’ll do as a driver.”

Last weekend’s Wine Country Outlaw Showdown at Calistoga Speedway in Calistoga, Calif., was rained out.
