Race Time Weather Outlook Postpones Thunderhill Event to June 20
SUMMERTOWN, TN (April 18, 2024) – With weather models showing hazardous weather conditions and up to an inch of rain in the Summertown, TN area, World of Outlaws and Thunderhill Raceway officials have agreed to postpone the event to Thursday, June 20.
The decision comes after monitoring the severity of the weather with Precision Weather Service and keeping the safety of traveling fans and teams in mind.
The focus for the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models now shifts to the Alabama Gang 100 at the Talladega Short Track, April 19-20. The massive two-day show will see drivers compete in split Features on Friday and then the $35,000-to-win Feature on Saturday.
The United Sprint Car Series will join the World of Outlaws both nights, featuring drivers like 2023 Daytona 500 champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Stewart-Haas Racing driver Chase Briscoe.
Thunderhill Raceway’s new June 20 date for the Summertown Showdown makes it the new kick off for the World of Outlaws’ summer swing, starting with eight races in 10 days.
