"Ever since we announced that the Outlaws were coming back in early December the buzz around this event has been huge. The last time the Outlaws visited the track in 2012, we had our largest crowd in track history. We feel we'll have a great car count this for this event with it just being a couple days before the Firecracker 100. I've been saying, the party for the Firecracker starts early in East Smethport, PA."
