LAS VEGAS — Rookie pavement sprint car racer Natalie Waters is among the entries for the Dec. 1-2 Open Wheel Showdown at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Waters got her start in pavement sprint car racing in 2018 at the age of 14. The track closed following that season and Waters found herself with no place to race the sprint car. But on that final night of racing at RMR, she won both the midget and sprint car races. I was running the winged sprint cars at Rocky Mountain Raceways, which is a much bigger and wider track. We go every year to run the midget and watch the sprint cars. “I was shocked that somebody not in my sprint car racing community, in the middle of Utah, is going to the Open Wheel Showdown in December,” Waters said.
