    ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. — John Gibson has seen more than 2,000 World of Outlaws races in his storied career, but what he saw from T.J. Stutts last July at Williams Grove Speedway was one of the most surprising performances he’s ever seen. “I would say that upset was probably top-five all time with the World of Outlaws,” Gibson, the voice of the World of Outlaws since 1997 and a member of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, said Wednesday night at Lincoln Speedway.

He talks about the night at Georgetown Speedway in Delaware as if it was eons ago. It might as well have been.

    YORK HAVEN, Pa. –— In baseball, a hitter who fails seven out of every 10 times ends up in the Hall of Fame with a lifetime batting average of .300. Most race car drivers would gladly take a success rate half that average. Failure, unfortunately, is always an option at a race track. When 40 teams show up to compete in an event, there’s still only going to be one driver celebrating in victory lane following the checkered flag.
