FRESNO, Calif. – Dominic Scelzi is kicking off his sprint car campaign this year by spending the first two months of the season competing in the Midwest.

Scelzi, who has focused on racing along the West Coast for the last three years, will start his year March 1-2 with ASCS Elite Outlaw Sprints shows at Hunt County Raceway in Greenville, Texas, and at Kennedale (Texas) Speedway Park, respectively.

The team will spend the next five weekends racing with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series in Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri.

Scelzi will compete in a handful of races with High Limit Racing in Arkansas and Oklahoma before returning to his home state of California toward the end of April.

“We’ve been working hard to return some Midwest racing into our schedule, and we are very excited to be able to do that this year,” tipped Scelzi. “Some of the tracks will be new, but many are ones we’ve been to in past years, so it'll be great to see those fans again.”

Scelzi will spend most of the remainder of the year racing along the West Coast, tackling various NARC 410 Sprint Car Series and Sprint Car Challenge Tour events – including speedweeks with both series – as well as all of the World of Outlaws and High Limit Racing shows in California, Oregon, and Washington.

“We’ve put together a busy schedule competing in a lot of big events against the best competition,” he said. “During the last three years, we've won a lot of races and been contenders in a lot of the top events on the West Coast. I'm looking forward to continuing our consistency.”

Scelzi is riding a streak of three straight seasons with double-digit victories.

“We have built a great foundation for this team with many amazing supporters,” he said. “Jimmy (Carr) is back as our crew chief, and I think our program will continue to take steps forward in 2024.

“I can't wait to get to the Midwest in a few weeks to get the season underway.”
