WoO Late Models Set For Unique Davenport Double

DAVENPORT, Iowa — The World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series is slated for a two-night adventure at Davenport Speedway that will include racing on two different race tracks.

On May 29, the series will compete on Davenport’s quarter-mile bullring inside the infield. The next day, May 30, the series will be back at Davenport Speedway to compete at the venue’s half-mile dirt oval.

Given current restrictions on mass gatherings, fans won’t be able to attend either night, but all of the action from both nights will be broadcast on DIRTVision.

“We’ve been floating this idea around for a while, so I’m particularly excited for this weekend,” World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series Director Casey Shuman said. “Obviously, first and foremost is the safety and well-being of our drivers, teams, staff and fans right now. We’ve done a lot of planning and coordinating with the crew at Davenport and Iowa officials to make sure we handle this the right way. I know it’s not ideal without fans, but DIRTVision will have a great broadcast lined up to keep everyone involved.”

The World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series has visited Davenport Speedway on four occasions — Brian Birkhofer (2004), Brian Harris (2007), Chad Simpson (2018) and Jimmy Owens (2019) are previous winners at the Iowa track.
