Atlanta, GA – March 2, 2022 – The United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour presented by K&N Filters winged sprint cars headline the action-packed season opener Hub City 200 two-day racing card at Hattiesburg Speedway in Hattiesburg, Mississippi on this Friday and Saturday nights, March 4th and 5th.

The Mini Sprints are normally the second-fastest division at the speedway behind the USCS winged sprint cars and like their big brothers feature a mix of young and up-and-coming drivers mixed with many of the veterans of the sport.
