The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series added Kings Speedway in Hanford, California, to its 2026 California swing, scheduling the Central Valley Clash for Sept. 22. The Kings date sits between the Dennis Roth Classic at Stockton (Sept. 18–19, an $83,000-to-win event) and consecutive World of Outlaws stops at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield (Sept. 25) and Ventura Raceway (Sept. 26). Tickets for the Central Valley Clash are on sale, and World of Outlaws races will stream live on DIRTVision.

Kings Speedway is a historic 3/8-mile oval that ranks as the fourth-most visited California venue in World of Outlaws history with 38 all-time stops, and it had been closed for the 2025 season. The venue first hosted the series in 1985 when Jeff Swindell won, and the most recent World of Outlaws victory at the track was by Carson Macedo in 2024.

One More Time Promotions, led by Bubby Morse and Don Chambers, has taken over operations, prepared the facility and will reopen the track for racing. The announcement restores a longtime World of Outlaws stop and fills out the California swing’s schedule ahead of the 2026 season.
