That thrilling event before a capacity crowd has produced their two-day return this coming weekend.

The 700 Horsepower, 1300-pound USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour winged sprint cars are expected to reach speeds over 100 miles per hour entering the 30+ degree banked turns at Thunderhill Raceway Park.

Expected entries include some of the Nation’s top winged sprint car drivers including 13-time USCS Outlaw Thunder Tour National Champion, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee who currently is currently leading the 2022 National standings. Gray was ranked eighth out of hundreds or possibly over a thousand drivers in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame 360-winged sprint car 2021 Driver of the Year poll. He was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame earlier this month. Gray has 94 career USCS wins and over forty USCS National and regional Championships on his resume..

The defending USCS Mid-South Thunder Tour regional series Champion, Dale Howard from Byhalia, Mississippi, who had six visits to the USCS Victory Lane after USCS victories during the 2020 and again during the 2021 seasons also tops the entry list.
