– Four local classes at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida will crown their 2022 season champions this coming Saturday at the half-mile track.
– The old worn out track of Five Flags Speedway (FL) is the backdrop for the Night of Champions. The old surface has not been repaved since the 1970s and is all about tire management.
– Panama City, Florida driver Timothy Watson leads the Outlaw Points this year over Logan Boyett heading into the final race. Watson holds a 52 point margin over the Pensacola, Florida driver. Watson has four wins this season to Boyett’s three wins. The deciding factor is that Watson has been in the top 10 for all the races this year and he’s only had one finish outside the top five. Regardless of what happens, one of these two will be the sixth different winner in Outlaw track championship history.
