“We are thrilled to have Ollie’s Bargain Outlet join the All Star Circuit of Champions in 2019. Just like the Ollie’s brand is synonymous with bargains, sprint car racing represents a real value to its loyal fans.

Ollie’s has grown to 303 locations in 23 states, offering real bargain prices in every department, from housewares to sporting goods to flooring and food. Ollie’s buyers scour the world looking for closeouts, overstocks, package changes, manufacturer refurbished goods, and irregulars.

“We are honored to be associated with the All Star Circuit of Champions,” said Mark Butler, President and CEO of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet. “Founded in Central Pennsylvania, sprint car racing is certainly a part of our local community.

Our scientists and engineers work every day to make sure that Mobil 1 will not only help teams get their trucks and haulers to the race, but help them get their sprint cars to victory lane at the track.”
