Barbersville, FL - The fifth season of World of Outlaws Late Model Series competition under the World Racing Group banner – and seventh season overall, including its first incarnation under late Advance Auto Parts WoO Sprint Series founder Ted Johnson in 1988 and ’89 – kicks off on Thurs., Feb. 14, and Sat., Feb. 16, as part of the 37th annual Alltel DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park.
Launching the tour’s championship contenders on a grueling schedule that currently shows 46 race dates at 39 tracks in 22 states and three Canadian provinces, the pair of Alltel DIRTcar Nationals events will feature full programs topped by 50-lap A-Mains paying $10,000 to win from total purses of over $50,000.
The top-10 finishers in the 2007 points standings – Steve Francis, Chub Frank, Clint Smith, Shane Clanton, Rick Eckert, Josh Richards, Darrell Lanigan, Tim Fuller, Brian Shirley and Shannon Babb – will lead the WoO LMS charge into the season-opening events. The drivers have committed to following the entire series in ’08, forming arguably the strongest group of regulars in the tour’s history.
With a car count at Volusia expected to be in the neighborhood of 100, the WoO LMS stars will face what is unquestionably one of the toughest fields on the tour in 2008.
Pit gates are scheduled to open each day of the Alltel DIRTcar Nationals at 2 p.m. ET, with grandstand gates set to open at 4 p.m. and hot laps tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m.
Volusia Speedway Park, a banked, half-mile clay oval, is located just 15 miles west of Ormond Beach, Fla. From I-95, exit on State Rd. 40 and head west; from Highway 17, take State Rd. 40 and head east for five miles.
