Welcome To Tennessee: Three Distinct Volunteer State Tracks Comprise This Weekend’s World of Outlaws Late Model Series Tripleheader

National Tour Set To Visit Smoky Mountain Speedway (April 26), Tazewell Speedway (April 27) & Duck River Raceway Park (April 28)

April 24, 2013 – A big, reconfigured four-tenths-mile oval. A steeply-banked, blazing-fast one-third-mile paper-clip. A sweeping quarter-mile bullring.

Three distinct tracks located in Tennessee – that’s this weekend’s hit list for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, which invades the Volunteer State for one of the most anticipated and interesting tripleheaders of the 2013 season.

The swing kicks off on Friday night (April 26) at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, which will host the WoO LMS for the first time since 2004. The famed Tazewell Speedway will present a World of Outlaws program for the fourth consecutive season on Saturday evening (April 27) while the smallest of the three tracks, Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, will close the weekend on Sunday night (April 28) with its inaugural WoO LMS extravaganza.

To set the stage for a weekend comprised of three 50-lap A-Mains paying $10,000 to win, here are snapshots of the three tracks courtesy of some Tennesseans who know them well…

Smoky Mountain Speedway: The Home Track Of Warrior Race Cars

If you’re looking for a scouting report on Smoky Mountain Speedway from a WoO LMS traveler, Warrior Race Cars owner Sanford Goddard is your man. The venerable facility is, after all, effectively his home track.

The owner of the Warrior house car driven on the WoO LMS by Scott James of Bright, Ind., and builder of the Sweeteners Plus Racing machines campaigned by former World of Outlaws champion Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., Goddard has fielded dirt Late Models and worked with customers at Smoky Mountain for years. With his Goddard Performance/Warrior Race Cars shop in Knoxville, Tenn., less than a half-hour drive from the track, he clearly possesses some deep-seeded knowledge of the place.

But despite his many evenings spent competing and testing at Smoky Mountain, Goddard doesn’t want anyone thinking he has some secret formula for success that he’ll deliver to James and McCreadie during the running of this Friday night’s ‘Mountain Outlaw 50.’ He’s the first one to point out that today’s Smoky Mountain Speedway isn’t the same one he’s attended for decades or the WoO LMS last raced at in 2004.

“One thing about Smoky Mountain – it’s been there since the ‘60s and it’s had several updates on it,” said Goddard. “It was a half-mile, they cut it down to four-tenths, and now this year they have new owners who put new walls around it and new dirt on it and changed the banking. The track’s a little bit different than it’s been in the past. It seems like the dirt’s better, it’s faster and it’s a little racier than it used to be.

“I’ve won a lot of races there with different people, but now it’s kind of a new experience for everybody,” he added. “Even though you’ve raced there all your life, everybody is going through a learning curve on it.”

The track is now under the ownership of a group that includes Stanley Best, Larry Garner, Roger Sellers and Kevin Coffey. They purchased the speedway last year and have aggressively upgraded the facility and created a standout special-event schedule, highlighted by Friday night’s WoO LMS event that ranks as the biggest show at Smoky Mountain since Rick Eckert of York, Pa., won the circuit’s only previous visit in April ’04.

“The new owners operating the place are racers besides just owners,” said Goddard. “They understand what they need to do to make it better. They’re race-oriented people and I think they’re taking the track to the next level.”

Both James and McCreadie competed in the 2004 WoO LMS event at Smoky Mountain, which came early in the tour’s inaugural season under the World Racing Group banner. Neither fared well – James finished 23rd and McCreadie did not start the A-Main.

McCreadie hasn’t been back to Smoky Mountain over the past eight years, but James has gotten a taste of the new configuration, making two appearances there in the past month behind the wheel of Goddard’s familiar green-and-white No. 1G. James finished 20th in a Southern All-Stars Series event on March 16 and failed to qualify for the Spring Nationals feature on April 13.

“We weren’t very good both times we were there, but it wasn’t the track’s fault. It was our fault,” said Goddard. “They were productive trips, though. I think we found a few things wrong with our car. Hopefully we can make the right changes and get Scott and McCreadie running good (on Friday).”

Goddard is geared up for a wildly competitive event on Friday night.

“We went (to Smoky Mountain) this year with Scott to learn some stuff so we’d be ready for this World of Outlaws deal,” said Goddard. “The local guys – like Billy Ogle Jr., Vic Hill and Randy Weaver – run good there, so it’ll be a big test for the World of Outlaws guys. I’m hoping we’re ready.”

Tazewell Speedway: A Dirt Track Like No Other

Tazewell Speedway owner Gary Hall doesn’t have to be a detective to spot someone who happens to be eyeballing his racetrack for the first time.

“Oh, I can tell immediately,” said Hall, who is in his ninth season at the helm of the famed track in the hills of Northeast Tennessee. “You can see they’re pretty much in awe.”

Indeed, viewing video or pictures of Tazewell’s monstrous banks doesn’t do it justice. A dirt-track fan or racer has to witness the scene in person – looking down from the concrete hillside grandstand or while standing at the tippy-top of the track in turn two – to fully appreciate the massiveness of those iconic hills.

And once dirt Late Models start circling the bullring at seemingly supersonic speeds – like the country’s best drivers will do this Saturday night in Tazewell’s fourth annual ‘Outlaw Sizzler 50’ presented by Tri-State Tire and Auto of Middlesboro – it’s one of the sport’s take-your-breath-away moments.

“The first thing I always say to a fan who’s never been to Tazewell is, ‘You’ve never seen anything like it,’” said the 60-year-old Hall, a former dirt Late Model racer who competed at ‘The Taz’ during his career but never raced on its current configuration (the banking was increased in the early ‘90s after he retired). “There’s nothing like it around here – heck, probably just about anywhere. The corners here are banked about 31 degrees, and I think the straightaways are banked like 20 degrees. It’s definitely a unique place.

“It reminds me a lot of Bristol (Motor Speedway) – a dirt Bristol. It’s a lot of the same deal – high-banked, fast, cars just whipping around there. It’s really amazing to see a race here in person.”

Or just see the menacing track, period.

“We’ll be here working during the week and we’ll have people just stop by to look at it because they’ve never seen it,” said Hall. “It happens quite regularly.”

The fans’ love for Tazewell is demonstrated not only by the track’s strong weekly crowds but by the enormous turnouts for WoO LMS events. Last year’s World of Outlaws show, which saw Bub McCool of Vicksburg, Miss., register his first-ever win on the circuit, drew a standing-room-only crowd that Hall called the biggest in the history of the speedway.

Not surprisingly, of course, for a speedway dubbed ‘The World’s Fastest One-Third-Mile Dirt Track,’ drivers aren’t as overwhelmingly enamored with Tazewell as the fans.

“Some drivers love it and some drivers hate it,” said Hall. “It’s a fast place and you gotta be on your toes all the time. Everything happens so fast – the fans seem to like that, but not all drivers like that kind of racing.”

Two-time WoO LMS champion Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., provides an almost perfect summation of the love/hate relationship drivers have with Tazewell.

“I like driving on it, but I don’t like racing on it,” said Richards, whose two career WoO LMS starts at Tazewell resulted in finishes of third (2010) and 16th (’11). “It’s fun to go out there by yourself and run laps like that, just flying around there. It’s pretty intense, pretty awesome. But because it’s so small and so fast, it’s hard to race on. There are a lot of things happening there at once, and I think that’s why a lot of racers don’t prefer it. You’re running such a fine line every second you’re out there, which definitely makes it difficult.”

That hyper-speed, on-the-edge action, though, is what makes every lap at Tazewell spectacular.

“Tazewell is what I call a ‘spectator’ track,” said Warrior Race Cars owner Sanford Goddard, who admitted that Tazewell is his favorite track. “Fans just love to see cars go around that place.”

Duck River Raceway Park: Praise From One Of Tennessee’s Best

Vic Hill has only competed at Duck River Raceway Park once in over a quarter-century as a driver, but his lone visit was more than enough to form a strong opinion of the track that sits just over an hour south of Nashville.

“It’s a great track,” said Hill, a 49-year-old dirt Late Model veteran and noted engine builder from Morristown, Tenn. “We’re sort of anxious to go back.”

Hill plans to make Sunday evening’s historic first-ever WoO LMS event at Duck River his second career appearance at the speedway. His first was just five months ago when he pocketed a $10,000 paycheck for winning the ‘Deep Fried 75,’ which closed the track’s 2012 season in mid-November.

“I’d always heard it was real slick and you needed a big spoiler and all that or you’d get beat down,” Hill said of Duck River. “Well, I decided to go there (in November), but I was complaining because it was gonna be cold and I just thought it was gonna be a crappy weekend. Then I got down there, and I’ll tell ‘ya, I was impressed.”

Though the track was just four months into its new era under the ownership of Bob and Cathy Harris, who purchased the facility in July 2012, Hill experienced a speedway that was already well on its way to big things. Hill praises the job done by Bob Harris, who has overseen a flurry of construction and upgrades, including new bathrooms, concession stands and guardrails and a fresh clay racing surface.

“He’s put together a heck of a racetrack,” said Hill, who set Duck River’s dirt Late Model track record last November but expects it to be broken on Sunday. “It’s just a real racy little place. It’s about the same size as Tazewell, except a little wider and not banked as much, and you can pretty much race all over it.

“The biggest obstacle we had to deal with down there (in November) was lapped traffic. It’s a small track and you get into it real quick. Being a small, fast racetrack, you really have to be on your toes.

“It’s got to be fun for the fans to watch, though,” he added. “With the caliber of drivers who are gonna be there on Sunday, I think it’s gonna be a helluva show.”

Duck River’s WoO LMS program will cap a huge three-day stretch of racing for Hill, who calls this weekend’s World of Outlaws tripleheader “one of our biggest weekends of the year.” The driver known as ‘The Thrill’ and his team have put special emphasis on being primed and ready to take on the Outlaws and a host of other top drivers on relative home turf.

“Last week we didn’t race just so we can get prepared for these three races in a row,” said Hill. “I like all three racetracks we’re running at. We’ve had success at all of ‘em, so I’m anxious to see what we can do.

“Our plan is to run one car at Smoky Mountain (Speedway on Friday), another car at Tazewell (Speedway on Saturday), and then we’ll see what we got left and go to Duck River.”

Winning a WoO LMS A-Main this weekend – and perhaps becoming the first Tennessee driver not named Scott Bloomquist or Jimmy Owens to capture a WoO LMS event in their home state – would be a career highlight for Hill.

“When these guys roll into town and you’re dealing with all the talent that will be there, a top five (finish) would be great,” said Hill. “But to win would be just super. It would be something I’d never forget.

“It would mean so much to me to win one of these shows. With the guys who will be at these races, it’s about gonna be like a World 100 weekend for the fans in Tennessee.”

Hill has started 10 WoO LMS A-Mains since 2004, with an eighth-place finish on Aug. 20, 2008, at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tenn., representing his career-best run. (He also registered the only World of Outlaws fast-time honor of his career that night.) His most memorable WoO LMS performance came in the 2010 event at Tazewell, where he was running a strong second behind eventual winner Shane Clanton of Fayetteville, Ga., on lap 15 when a lapped car bounced off the fourth-turn wall and flipped onto Hill’s hood, knocked Hill from further action.

Star-Studded Field Expected

Nearly two-dozen drivers are expected to enter all three WoO LMS events this weekend, including the 13 World of Outlaws travelers who have perfect attendance on this year’s tour.

The group of Outlaws is headed by Richards, who enters the weekend leading the points standings, Clanton, Eckert, McCreadie and defending champion Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky. Rounding out the list of regulars is James, McCool, Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., and Rookie of the Year contenders Eric Wells of Hazard, Ky., Morgan Bagley of Longview, Texas, and Dillon Wood of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

Drivers who have announced plans to challenge the Outlaws in all three events include Hill; Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga.; Blount Motorsports teammates Tommy Kerr of Maryville, Tenn., and Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville, Tenn.; Ray Cook of Brasstown, N.C.; Team Dillon mates Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Ga., and Ty Dillon of Welcome, N.C., who competes on the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series; Steve Casebolt of Richmond, Ind.; Brad Neat of Dunnville, Ky.; and Eric Jacobsen of Rio Del Mar, Calif.

Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, Tenn., and Jimmy Owens of Newport, Tenn., are expected to enter at least the Smoky Mountain and Tazewell events, while drivers listing single events on their schedules include Randy Weaver of Crossville, Tenn. (Smoky Mountain), Mike Marlar of Winfield, Tenn. (Duck River) and Ronny Lee Hollingsworth of Northport, Ala. (Duck River).

World of Outlaws Late Model Series Set to Invade Duck River Raceway Park  April 28th

April 22nd, 2013- 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 swing in the state of Tennessee by the WoO LMS. The tour will also compete on Fri., April 26th, at Smokey Mountain Speedway in Maryville, TN., and Sat., April 27th at Tazwell Speedway in Tazwell, TN.

April 17th, 2013- ATTN: Front Wheel Drive Division- Due to lack of cars and participation, Starting this weekend April 20th, the Front-Wheel-Drive division has been removed from the line up on our weekly racing program. It was a hard decision to make and understand the frustration to those who have fwd cars and those who’ve raced with us these past few weeks in the front-wheel-drive division, our records show that the most we’ve had at one time was three participants and no sign of the number of cars picking up. We thank all those that have raced with us and may look into starting the class back up in the future if the interest picks up. Thanks, Duck River Raceway Park,LLC

March 22-24 World of Outlaws Late Model Series Tripleheader In Arkansas, Mississippi & Tennessee Postponed Due To Weather

Events At I-30 Speedway, Whynot Motorsports Park & Duck River Raceway Park Rescheduled For Later In Spring

CONCORD, NC – March 20, 2013 – This weekend’s entire World of Outlaws Late Model Series tripleheader scheduled for I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark. (March 22), Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Miss. (March 23) and Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tenn. (March 24) has been postponed due to extremely uncertain weather forecasts throughout the Mid-South region, track and series officials announced on Wednesday afternoon.

With all three tracks facing weather conditions that could either dull or completely doom the racing programs, the speedway operators collaborated with WoO LMS director Tim Christman and unanimously agreed that the best action for all parties involved was to preemptively reschedule the events to dates later in the spring.

Duck River’s inaugural WoO LMS show has been reset for Sun., April 28, as the anchor leg of a three-race weekend in the Volunteer State. The other tracks will remain back-to-back on the schedule, with I-30 Speedway running its first-ever World of Outlaws event on Fri., May 10, and Whynot hosting the national tour for the first time on Sat., May 11.

“It’s always difficult to make the decision to call off a race weekend early in the week because of possible bad weather,” said Christman, who is in his seventh season overseeing operations of the WoO LMS. “But in this case, after talking with the three track promoters – Tracey Clay at I-30, Rodney Wing at Whynot and Bob Harris at Duck River – we all came to the conclusion that rescheduling the events would be in the best interests of the fans, the race teams and the promoters.

“Considering that I-30, Whynot and Duck River are three of the most highly anticipated races on the 2013 World of Outlaws Late Model Series season, we want the best conditions possible for the fans and racers to come out to the tracks and enjoy themselves. Mother Nature apparently doesn’t want to let that happen this weekend with wet and unseasonably cool weather forecast for I-30 and Duck River and a stormy pattern developing at Whynot, so hopefully by rescheduling the events we’ll get the type of weather that’s a hit with everyone.”

The postponement of the weekend was well received by the WoO LMS regulars. With the World of Outlaws travelers looking at round-trip hauls to this weekend’s tripleheader ranging in length from about 1,000 miles to over 3,000 miles, they were relieved to avoid the prospect of having races canceled after they burned hundreds of gallons of diesel fuel in their haulers to get to the tracks.

With the rescheduled events, the WoO LMS will spend four consecutive spring weekends in states across the Southeast. The stretch of competition includes Fayetteville (N.C.) Motor Speedway on April 19 and 311 Motor Speedway in Pine Hall, N.C., on April 20; Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tenn., on April 26, Tazewell (Tenn.) Speedway on April 27 and Duck River Raceway Park on April 28; Lavonia (Ga.) Speedway on May 3 and Swainsboro (Ga.) Raceway on May 4; and I-30 Speedway on May 10 and Whynot Motorsports Park on May 11.

The next scheduled action for the WoO LMS is the $20,000-to-win Illini 100 on April 5-6 at Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway.

Marlar Hopes Pursuit Of Victory On World of Outlaws Late Model Series Is Over After Sunday (March 24) Visit To Duck River Raceway Park

Tennessee Standout Focused On Defeating WoO LMS Stars In National Tour’s Inaugural Event At Quarter-Mile Track In His Home State

WHEEL, TN – March 19, 2013 – Mike Marlar knows all too well what it feels like to lose a World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main, so it’s no surprise that he harbors a burning desire to experience the ecstasy of a Victory Lane appearance on the national tour.

There could be no better time for the veteran standout from Winfield, Tenn., to finally realize his goal of a World of Outlaws triumph than this Sunday evening (March 24) when the renowned full-fender circuit visits Marlar’s home state for a 50-lap, $10,000-to-win spectacular at Duck River Raceway Park.

Indeed, it’s checkered-flag-or-bust on the WoO LMS this weekend for Marlar, a 35-year-old talent who has come tantalizingly close to victory several times on the series over the past two years while driving for Bryson Motorsports.

“Actually, this weekend we’re going out of our way to go Outlaw racing because I just really want to win an Outlaw race,” said Marlar, who plans to precede his assault on Duck River by entering WoO LMS events on Friday night (March 22) at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., and Saturday night (March 23) at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Miss. “After coming up short (of a World of Outlaws A-Main score) a few times, after having a few near-misses, we’re really hungry to win one.

“If I can’t get one the first two nights (of this weekend’s WoO LMS tripleheader), it would really be neat to get my first Outlaw win in my home state (on Sunday). That would just be awesome, almost like it was meant to be.”

Marlar has finished as high as second in a WoO LMS A-Main on two occasions, most recently on Feb. 16 at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla. He appeared headed to his first-ever series win that evening until slipping slightly off the preferred bottom groove on the 48th of 50 laps, allowing defending WoO LMS champion Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., to grab the lead heading to the white flag and march on to a dramatic victory.

“That one was definitely disappointing,” said Marlar, whose other runner-up WoO LMS finish came in decidedly less heartbreaking fashion on June 28, 2012, in a Firecracker 100 preliminary A-Main at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa. “I wouldn’t say we gave it away – Darrell took it – but we were in position to capitalize. I just look at it as being a product of those early-season blues – not really being in the rhythm good yet and making those little mistakes that you don’t really make when you get into the racing (season) more.”

Marlar also flirted with World of Outlaws glory in the 2012 Bubba Army Late Model Winter Nationals finale at BRP, leading more than half the 60-lap race before ceding command and finally hitting the turn-three wall on the final circuit when he ran out of racing room bidding to overtake 2011 WoO LMS champion Rick Eckert of York, Pa., for the top spot.

“I definitely know how it feels to lose an Outlaw race,” smiled Marlar, who enters this weekend’s action having started 41 WoO LMS A-Mains in his career, nearly half (20) coming in the past two years. “Maybe that will make winning one feel even sweeter.”

Marlar would get a veritable sugar high if his breakthrough WoO LMS triumph would come on Sunday at Duck River, a quarter-mile, high-banked oval that is set to host the tour for the first time. For a driver with some big-money race wins on his resume (Hillbilly 100, Magnolia State 100), capturing a World of Outlaws event over a field of competitors that figures to rank as one of the best to ever grace Duck River’s pit area would certainly be a career milestone.

“There’s gonna be some real tough guys to deal with,” Marlar said of Duck River’s inaugural WoO LMS program. “It’s looking like there’s gonna be a great field.”

Lanigan, who set a single-season WoO LMS record in 2012, will lead a star-studded roster of tour regulars that includes Eckert, two-time champ Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., 2006 titlist Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., and Shane Clanton of Fayetteville, Ga. Also carrying the World of Outlaws banner will be Bub McCool of Vicksburg, Miss., who has two career wins at Duck River, Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., Pat Doar of New Richmond, Wis., Scott James of Bright, Ind., and rookies Eric Wells of Hazard, Ky., Morgan Bagley of Longview, Texas, Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin, Ill., and Dillon Wood of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

Other entrants expected include past Duck River feature winner Ray Cook of Brasstown, N.C., Don O’Neal of Martinsville, Ind., Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, Ill., Steve Casebolt of Richmond, Ind., Wendell Wallace of Batesville, Ark., Billy Moyer Jr. of Batesville, Ark., Jack Sullivan of Greenbrier, Ark., and Ronny Lee Hollingsworth of Northport, Ala.

Marlar will head a solid group of Tennessee drivers that includes Vic Hill of Morristown, Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville and Todd Morrow of Chattanooga.

“I think it’s gonna be a good show,” said Marlar. “From everything I’ve heard, the new owners (Bob and Cathy Harris) really seem like they’re doing a good job with the place. I haven’t gotten to race there since Mr. Harris took it over (during the 2011 season), but everyone I’ve talked to says they’ve really been making improvements to the place.”

Marlar has only competed at Duck River a handful of times during his career. His last visit was for a season-ending two-day show in November 2006 (he finished fifth in the preliminary feature and third in the 75-lap finale), but the track left a strong impression on him.

“From my limited experience there, it’s probably one of the best tracks in Tennessee,” said Marlar, who lives about four hours northeast of Duck River. “Actually, you don’t feel like you’re in Tennessee when you’re there. It’s more of a Midwest-looking racetrack. It doesn’t have that red clay like a lot of your Tennessee tracks, and you can race over it. It’s a good little track.”

Duck River Raceway Park’s gates will open at 12 noon on Sun., March 24. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. with WoO LMS Ohlins Shocks Time Trials and racing to follow.

General Admission for the event, which also includes racing for the two-barrel Late Models and Mod Street Bombers, is $25. Children ages 6-12 are $10 and kids 5-and-under will be admitted free of charge. Pit passes will cost $35.

The tire rule for Sunday’s WoO LMS event (as well as the I-30 Speedway and Whynot Motorsports Park programs) mandates Hoosier 1300-compound or harder tires or American Racer 44-compound or harder tires, with the Southern punch-40 (durometer) rule in effect.

Duck River Raceway Park is located at 1100 Haskins Chapel Rd. in Wheel (Lewisburg), Tenn., about an hour’s drive south of Nashville.

“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.”
