1 MONTH ALERT: Triple header weekend ahead with Williams Grove, Sharon, Tri-City
The World of Outlaws make their return to Pennsylvania and Ohio with $30,000 on the line for the weekend
MECHANICSBURG, PA (July 20, 2022) – The World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models will venture to western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio for another key tripleheader weekend in mid-August.
First, the Series will make its fifth overall trip to the historic Williams Grove Speedway on Friday, Aug. 19. Then it will venture into Ohio for its second visit to Sharon Speedway this year on Saturday, Aug. 20. The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet will then conclude the triple-header weekend with a return to Pennsylvania at Tri-City Raceway Park on Sunday, Aug. 21.
These three races will help build toward the championship finale World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in November and put a good amount of cash in drivers’ pockets with each race paying $10,000 to win. So, if one driver can win all three, they’ll walk away with $30,000 for the weekend.
