World of Outlaws Late Model Series Adds Summer Dates At New York’s Can-Am Motorsports Park & South Dakota’s Dakota State Fair Speedway
Wild West Tour Visit To Wyoming’s Gillette Thunder Speedway Changed To Tues., July 14
CONCORD, NC – March 2, 2009 – The 2009 World of Outlaws Late Model Series schedule continues to expand.
Series officials announced Monday that summer dates have been added at Caprara’s Can-Am Motorsports Park in LaFargeville, N.Y., and Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron, S.D., pushing the ’09 WoO LMS slate to a record 48 events at 39 tracks in 21 states and three Canadian provinces.
The DIRTcar Racing-sanctioned Can-Am Motorsports Park will join the WoO LMS ‘Great Northern Tour,’ hosting the ‘North Country 40’ presented by FX Caprara Car Companies on Mon., June 22. A first-place prize of $7,000 has been posted for the half-mile oval’s inaugural dirt Late Model event.
Dakota State Fair Speedway returns to the WoO LMS for the first time since 2005 as part of the second annual ‘Wild West Tour,’ presenting the $10,000-to-win ‘Great Plains 50’ on Thurs., July 16.
In a related schedule change, the previously announced Wild West Tour event at Gillette (Wyo.) Thunder Speedway has been moved up one day to Tues., July 14. The date change will provide race teams a travel day on Wednesday to make the 450-mile haul to Dakota State Fair Speedway.
Can-Am’s mid-week show will serve as a blockbuster dirt Late Model homecoming for two well-known WoO LMS names with deep roots at the track: 2006 tour champion Tim McCreadie and 2007 Rookie of the Year Tim Fuller. Both DIRTcar big-block Modified-turned-dirt Late Model drivers live in Watertown, N.Y., which sits mere minutes south of Can-Am, and have won Modified features at the track.
McCreadie, 34, is currently sidelined by a back injury suffered in a crash during January’s Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Okla., but he is expected to be back behind the wheel in time to enter the first-ever full-fender special at the track located in his backyard. Fuller, 41, is a WoO LMS regular for the third consecutive year driving for upstate New York trucking company magnate John Wight, who owned and promoted Can-Am from 2001-2003.
In addition, 2008 WoO LMS Rookie of the Year Vic Coffey of Caledonia, N.Y., who is chasing the tour again this season, has tasted success at Can-Am. He won the track’s 2007 DIRTcar big-block Modified points title.
“I’ve been working at Can-Am for 25 years, and this is going to be the biggest thing to ever hit the place,” said Chip Burdick, who manages Can-Am Motorsports Park for co-owners Billy and Charlie Caprara. “It’s a dream come true – for me and all of Can-Am’s longtime employees and fans – to finally have a World of Outlaws event here.
“With Tim McCreadie and Tim Fuller having a chance to run their Late Models in front of their local fans and other big-block Modified stars like Vic Coffey and Billy Decker (the defending Mr. DIRTcar Modified champ) now driving Late Models as well, the interest in a World of Outlaws Late Model Series event at Can-Am is just off the charts.”
Burdick said ticket information will be forthcoming on Can-Am’s North Country 40, which is slotted into the WoO LMS Great Northern Tour between a Sunday-night (June 21) event at Cornwall (Ont.) Motor Speedway and a Tuesday-night (June 23) stop at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Speedway. Information will be available at www.canammotorsports.com or by calling the track office at 315-778-3407.
The Great Plains 50, meanwhile, will bring the nation’s premier dirt Late Model tour back to a three-eighths-mile oval that can boast of holding arguably the most thrilling A-Main in WoO LMS history. On June 5, 2005, Dakota State Fair Speedway fans watched in awe as McCreadie authored a stirring charge to become the first – and still only – driver to win a WoO LMS feature from the last starting spot.
McCreadie actually set fast time and won a heat race that memorable evening at DSFS, but a blown engine during the dash relegated him to the 24th starting position in a backup car. He proceeded to blow through the field, finally grabbing the lead from Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., as the white flag was waved.
“Everybody still remembers how Tim McCreadie came from the back to win the last time the World of Outlaws Late Model Series was at Dakota State Fair Speedway,” said Orville Chenoweth of Dakota Promotions, who is beginning his 14th season at the track’s helm. “That was an incredible performance and our fans are anxious to see if someone can do it again.”
The lone 2009 appearance in South Dakota for the WoO LMS, the Great Plains 50 will be contested at the tail-end of the region-hopping Wild West Tour that now numbers six events. WISSOTA Super Stocks and Midwest Modifieds will also be part of the mid-week program.
Ticket information for the Great Plains 50 will soon be available at www.dakotapromotions.com or by calling 605-352-4848.
