sprint car

Open-wheel oval machine

A sprint car is a high-powered open-wheel race car designed for short oval dirt or paved tracks.

Sprint cars are characterized by large wings mounted above the chassis for downforce, exposed wheels, and engines producing exceptional power relative to their light weight.

They race in events like those sanctioned by the World of Outlaws: Sprint car racing draws huge crowds at county fairgrounds across the Midwest.
