Cornelius, NC (June 11, 2018) - BRANDT® Professional Agriculture® has united again with NASCAR star Kyle Larson to offer the highest guaranteed purse in Outlaw Kart racing.

“I’m excited to have BRANDT return for the Outlaw Kart Showcase. They are a big part of my World of Outlaw sprint car team, and the Showcase is where the relationship began. BRANDT has a big presence in the California agriculture industry working with growers to improve the crops on their farms. They are first-class organization with knowledgeable professionals out in the field. BRANDT has a significant presence in motorsports, at both regional and national levels, and they just add to the stature of the Showcase,” said Larson.

Once again, the Outlaw Kart Showcase will include the Box Stock and 250 Intermediate outlaw karts. Preliminary events for all three divisions will be contested on Monday night, with feature events on Tuesday night. Also on Monday, a special Open Division Feature paying $1,000 to the winner will be available to the top 20 karts from qualifying.

As usual, drivers from all over the country are expected to compete at the event. 165 total entries were received last year and Larson expects 2016 and 2017 Open winner Logan Seavey to be the favorite on the list of possible winners of this year’s edition. Also anticipated to return is 250 Intermediate champ Caden Kvapil and Box Stock feature winner Trevor Grimes.
