STATARAMA - World of Outlaws STP Sprint Cars: Season Recap

Pittman wins closest championship battle in series history as battle goes to final lap

CONCORD, N.C. - Nov. 15, 2013 - Daryn Pittman is the ninth different driver in World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series history to win the championship, leading wire-to-wire with an incredible level of consistency.

Only once in 73 events was Pittman unable to complete the A-main in his Kasey Kahne Racing Great Clips car. Never did he have an engine failure. In fact, he finished the season with 59 top-10 runs to join Steve Kinser (20), Donny Schatz (5), Sammy Swindell (3), Mark Kinser (2), Jason Meyers (2), Dave Blaney, Bobby Davis Jr., and Danny Lasoski as the only drivers to win a championship in the 36-year history of the series.

Schatz was almost unbeatable the second half of the season in the Tony Stewart Racing STP/Armor All machine. He amassed 61 top-10 finishes en route to winning a career-best 23 A-mains. Not since Steve Kinser won 25 races in 2003 had any driver been to victory lane as many times as Schatz was this year.
By the time the final checkered flag of the season waved at the World Finals, it was Pittman in front by 14 points in the closest finish in World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series history.

Peoria, AZ | Nov. 15, 2013 - Chris Bell’s magical 2013 season continued on Thursday night as he took his seventh Honda National Midget win of the year to open Canyon Speedway Park’s “Western World Championships.” The Norman, Oklahoma driver tacked on even more to his strong point lead with a commanding win in the 30-lapper.

Bell’s teammate Tanner Thorson led from the green as Bell kept pace early on as a cluster of yellows kept the race from finding a rhythm. After leading the opening seven laps, Thorson bobbled in turn-two and nearly looped it. He continued on but that handed the lead to Bell as Thorson dropped to fourth.
