PLANO, TX - The Pennzoil World of Outlaws Series' end-of-the-millennium schedule released Monday features increased television coverage, several new facilities and two postponed events.

Twelve live races on TNN: The Nashville Network dot the series' 1999 schedule. There will also be three repeats as the Pennzoil World of Outlaws Series' media partner continues to beam the best in sprint car racing into the homes of its fans.

The season opens February 26-27 at Manzanita Speedway for the third straight year. Following a March 3rd visit to Kings Speedway, TNN will televise the feature racing program from the Silver State Shootout, scheduled for March 5-6 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Southern New Mexico Speedway will host the Pennzoil World of Outlaws Series March 9th. The event was originally scheduled for October 20th. The series will also return to Devil's Bowl Speedway April 24th for the conclusion of the 25th Annual Winter Nationals.

Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA, originally scheduled to host its first Pennzoil World of Outlaws Series event last March 7th, has a double-feature event March 12-13. The series will also visit Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway and Heartland Park Topeka for the first time in 1999. Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway, a high-banked, 3/8-mile oval in Gilbertsville, KY, will host the Pennzoil World of Outlaws Series April 16th. Heartland Park Topeka, for years a regular stop on the National Hot Rod Association tour, is in the process of adding a semi- banked, 3/8-mile oval, and will host a televised event June 18th.

TNN will televise the Second Annual Winged Thunder event live from The Terre Haute Action Track May 21st. The Third Annual Channellock Spring Classic at Williams Grove Speedway will be televised live a week later. The finals of the Inaugural Rumble at Route 66 at Route 66 Raceway will be televised on TNN June 12th.

Three Pennzoil World of Outlaws Series events in seven days are scheduled for live television coverage on TNN in July. The feature racing program from the Second Annual Duel in the Dakotas from Red River Valley Speedway will be televised July 10th. The Eldora Clash (July 16th) and the Kings Royal (July 17th) will also be televised live on The Nashville Network.

The Friday and Saturday programs from the 39th Annual Amoco Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway will be televised live on TNN for the fourth straight year August 13-14. TNN will have live coverage of the feature racing program from the Second Annual Cornhusker Outlaws Showdown at I-80 Speedway September 25th.
