Title: Record Number Of Events On 2015 World of Outlaws LMS Schedule Post by LMR on 12/12/14 at 4:05am World of Outlaws Late Model Series December 11, 2014 _______________________________________ Record Number Of Events On 2015 World of Outlaws Late Model Schedule National Tour Releases 50-Race Slate Featuring Visits to 38 Tracks in 20 States and Canada INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (December 11) - The World of Outlaws Late Model Series is set for a record number events in 2015 with 50 A-Mains featured on the national tour's schedule released Thursday during the Performance Racing Industry trade show in Indianapolis. The country's longest-running national Dirt Late Model series has visits to 38 tracks in 20 states and Canada planned for its 12th season under the World Racing Group banner. The tour's 2015 itinerary follows tradition in kicking off with a stretch of seven events in Georgia and Florida during the month of February. The Winter Freeze at Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Ga., Feb. 6-7 will serve as the 2015 lid-lifter with a doubleheader weekend featuring 50-lap A-Mains paying $10,000 to win on both Friday and Saturday. Also part of the busy first month of WoO LMS action is the fourth annual Bubba Army Late Model Winter Nationals at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla. The three-night extravaganza kicks off with a $5,000-to-win DIRTcar Late Model event on Feb. 13 ahead of two $10,000-to-win WoO LMS programs Feb. 14-15. The early-season stretch wraps up with the traditional visit to Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla., for the DIRTcar Nationals that in 2015 will include three complete WoO LMS programs Feb. 19-21 after three DIRTcar Late Model programs Feb. 16-18. Three high-dollar, long-distance races also highlight the 2015 schedule. The list of marquee events includes the $50,000-to-win USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis. July 30-Aug. 1; the ninth annual Firecracker 100 paying $30,000 to the winner at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa. June 25-27; and the $26,000-to-win Prairie Dirt Classic at Fairbury (Ill.) American Legion Speedway July 24-25. The 2015 season will conclude for the ninth straight year with a pair of $12,000-to-win 50-lap A-Mains during the Bad Boy Buggies World of Outlaws World Finals on Nov. 5-7 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C. Boasting three tracks that will host their first-ever WoO LMS events and nine tracks that are returning to the schedule after various hiatuses, the 50-race campaign is on course to surpass the tour's alltime single-season high of 46 A-Mains established in 2013 and equal the record of 38 different host tracks set in 2010. "I am excited about our schedule and that we have been able to increase the number of races without adding much more travel for our teams," said WoO LMS series director Tim Christman. "A schedule of roughly 50 races has always been our goal number and we should end up right around that by the time Charlotte rolls around. "We are thrilled that so many track promoters and managers have chosen to include the World of Outlaws Late Model Series in their 2015 plans. It's with their support that we're able to bring the most prestigious series in all of Dirt Late Model racing to fans across the country." The three tracks set to host the WoO LMS for the first time are Friendship Motor Speedway in Elkin, N.C., a 4/10-mile oval that kicks off a May 1-2 Tar Heel State doubleheader that it shares with Fayetteville Motor Speedway; the 3/8-mile Ponderosa Speedway in Junction City, Ky., which hosts the series on May 8 ahead of a visit to Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tenn.; and Quincy (Ill.) Raceways, which serves as a lead-in to Fairbury's Prairie Dirt Classic weekend with its event on Thurs., July 23.

The three-day crown jewel event features two WoO LMS programs. A Thursday-night preliminary program on July 30 offering a $6,000 first-place check, leading into the traditional USA Nationals qualifying night on Fri., July 31 and the 100-lap, $50,000-to-win finale on Sat., Aug. 1.
