1 MONTH ALERT: World of Outlaws Late Model Summer Swing Brings Week of Racing in Upper Midwest
CONCORD, NC (May 27, 2024) – The summer heats up for the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models in June with a stretch of five races in six days in the Upper Midwest.
Running Monday through Saturday, the week of racing will see the Series make a trip to Independence Motor Speedway (Monday, June 24), Hamilton County Speedway (Tuesday, June 25), I-94 EMR Speedway (Thursday, June 27), River Cities Speedway (Friday, June 28) and Norman County Raceway (Saturday, June 29).
Of those events, the first three will pay $10,000 to win, while the events at River Cities and Norman County will pay $15,000 to win. If one driver is fortunate enough to sweep the week, they’ll pocket $60,000 in winnings.
The stop at Norman County will be a first for the Series, while the other four will be return visits. For Independence Motor Speedway and Hamilton County Speedway, it’ll be a grand return after some years away, while I-94 and River Cities return for another straight year.
Of the four returning tracks, each saw a current Series star win the last race. Four-time Series champion Brandon Sheppard won at Independence in 2019, Brian Shirley won at Hamilton County in 2016, reigning Series champion Bobby Pierce won at I-94 in 2023 and Ryan Gustin won at River Cities in 2023.
