The Copper World event will be the second race of the 18-race 1999 Featherlite Southwest Series season. Tom Sweatman won the first event of the season, Jan. 10 at Tucson Raceway Park. Crafton, who grew up watching his father race a Series car, started his career in karts and progressed to the mini sprints. Mini sprint cars are winged racers mounted on a midget chassis. I always knew I wanted to race on asphalt.
Dirt is for growing potatoes.
The popularity of the event among racers, and the wintertime lull in the racing season, has turned the Series portion of the Classic into an all-star race. Designed by RacingWest .
