The World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series is adding to its 2017 schedule. On Sunday, September 24, the series will take the track at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas for the first time ever.
The 3/8-mile clay oval is the third and final stop during the series’ swing through the Great Plains. Fifteen full-time drivers and crews will invade Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas on Sept. 22 and Salina Highbanks Speedway in Salina, Oklahoma on Sept. 23 before touching down at 81 Speedway on Sept. 24.
The initial dates for the swing through the Great Plains were set for April, but, due to saturated grounds from excessive rain, have since been moved from the spring to the fall.
“We are trying to do the best with the best,” said 81 Speedway promoter C. Ray Hall. “…The opportunity to have the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Models is very special considering we haven’t had a big Late Model show here for probably five years. We are trying to address all different types of fans in our area, so it’s very important we have big shows with Sprint Cars, Late Models, Modifieds, and all of the big traveling programs; and it doesn’t get any bigger than the World of Outlaws Late Models.”
81 Speedway has hosted weekly racing for the past 59 years. Tickets for the event are available for advance purchase on the track's website and by phone at 316/755-1600.
