Bakersfield Speedway

09/02/2026

Add a whole lot more grit, 900+ HP, and speeds pushing 145+ MPH—and you've got yourself an OUTLAW. 😈

Come watch as the nation's most renowned Sprint Car drivers take over Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway for the Nashville West Showdown.

They'll throw it sideways. Rip the cushion. Sling some dirt. And fight for every inch as The Greatest Show on Dirt comes roaring through California. 💨

This isn't your average night at the races. It's raw speed, relentless competition, and the kind of racing that leaves a little dirt on your shirt and a story to tell.

Round up your crew and come see what being an Outlaw is all about. 🤘
