2011 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series runner-up, Donny Schatz, will try to win a second consecutive Western World Championship this weekend in Tuscon, Arizona – Rick Rarer Photo

Defending Western World Championship winners, Donny Schatz (wing) and Brady Bacon (non-wing), are each set to race in Thursday night’s preliminary event for the 44th annual Kronik Energy Drinks Western World Championships.

The wing and non-wing fields have been split in half for the 44th annual ASCS sanctioned event; with half running Thursday night’s preliminary portion and the other half competing in Friday night’s card. The results of Thursday and Friday night’s preliminary features will help set the line-ups for Saturday night’s $15,000 to win wing, and $5,000 to win non-wing, main events.
