FARMER CITY, Ill. — For the first time in history, the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models will battle at Farmer City Raceway in June for the newly announced Farmer City Showdown.
The new $10,000-to-win event will be on Thursday, June 1, to kick off a Midwest triple-header weekend, joining events at Tri-City Speedway in Granite City, Ill., and Kentucky’s Paducah International Raceway.
“We know there are hardcore dirt late model fans in Illinois who look forward to seeing our brand of racing, so we worked with promoters in the region to bring the World of Outlaws to Farmer City in June for the first time,” said series director Steve Francis. “We’re excited to add to an already huge weekend.”
In addition, officials have also announced the dates for the 2024 Illini 100 at Farmer City.
The event will be April 11-13, 2024.
A practice night will start the weekend on Thursday, April 11, before an $8,000-to-win feature on Friday and a $25,000-to-win finale on Saturday.
