CONCORD, N.C.–The World Racing Group has announced that its season ending event for its World of Outlaws series will be broadcast LIVE on SPEED from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Nov. 3, 2007.
After 140 events and thousands of miles traveling across the country, where more than 1.2 million fans will have attended a World of Outlaws event, it’s all coming down to one last weekend at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway. More than $200,000 is at stake for the season finale where for the first time in history, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and World of Outlaws Late Model Series will crown its champions at the same place and on the same weekend.
The World of Outlaws World Finals from The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway is going to make more history when SPEED televises the inaugural season-ending, championship-deciding events live, marking the first time dirt late models will air live on television.
“If you can’t get excited about World of Outlaws cars sliding around The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway, than you are not a true race fan,” said Rick Miner, SPEED SVP of Production & Network Operations. “It’s organized mayhem at its best.”
“The World of Outlaws World Finals is a destination event for fans of sprint cars and dirt late models,” World Racing Group President Tom Deery said. “Now, it can also be a destination event for everybody who has a television.”
Race fans from around North America will be on their way to The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway for the three-day event. Fans in 43 states — including Alaska — and four Canadian provinces already have purchased tickets to attend the inaugural World Finals.
The unprecedented World of Outlaws World Finals features qualifying events on Thursday, Nov. 1, and twin shows on Friday and Saturday (Nov. 2-3) for the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars and Late Models. Saturday’s season-finale events, which will crown champions for both series, will air on SPEED.
Defending World of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz, who in 2008 will drive for Tony Stewart Racing, has only a 19-point lead over Kasey Kahne Racing’s Joey Saldana in the sprint car standings. In the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, Steve Francis owns a 52-point advantage over Chub Frank and an 86-point lead over Clint Smith as all three aims to win their first series championship.
