Event Description

World of Outlaw Late Models Sun. 

The World of Outlaws Late Model Series is set to make their first appearance at Duck River Raceway Park, LLC (Wheel, TN) on Sunday April 28th, 2013 for a $10,000 To-Win 50 lap event.

Making their first appearance to the middle Tennessee dirt track, the national stars and cars of the World of Outlaws series will be gunning for a $10,000 payday. Duck River fans get their chance to witness the nation’s top dirt late model super stars race around the famed Duck River Raceway Park under the new ownership of Bob and Cathy Harris.

Duck River’s April 28th  program will mark the richest promotion in the short tenure of its new operators. Bob Harris, a former dirt Late Model team owner, and his wife Cathy purchased the facility in July 2012 and have invested over $100,000 in improvements since taking control of the speedway.

After capping Duck River’s 2012 season in mid-November with the successful ‘Deep Fried 75’ Super Late Model event won by Tennessee’s Vic Hill, Bob Harris said he’s anxious to show the fruits of his labor at the track to a large group of traveling racers and fans who will clamor to attend a high-profile WoO LMS show.

“I’m real excited to bring the World of Outlaws to Duck River,” said Harris, who has overseen a flurry of construction and upgrades that includes new bathrooms, concession stands and guardrails and a fresh clay racing surface. “I think everybody will be real impressed with the facility and what we’ve done here, and we’re hoping this will be a starting point for a long relationship between Duck River and the World of Outlaws.”

The 50-lapper at Duck River Raceway Park, which is located about an hour’s drive south of Nashville, will complete a three-race, early-spring barnstorming of the Southeast by the WoO LMS. The tour will also compete on Fri., March 22, at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., and Sat., March 23, at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Miss.

The 2013 WoO LMS schedule currently boasts 54 A-Mains at 41 tracks in 21 states and two Canadian provinces, putting the circuit in line to surpass its single-season record of 44 events.

More details of the historic World of Outlaws visit to Duck River will be released in the near future. Visit http://www.duckriverspeedway.net/ for the latest information and log on http://www.worldofoutlaws.com/ for more info on the WoO LMS

With its low windshield,…
