90 Dates For World Of Outlaws Sprint Cars

CONCORD, N.C. — The 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car schedule will feature 90 nights of racing at 41 tracks in 21 states and Canada.

It all begins in Florida at Volusia Speedway Park and finds its final destination nine months later at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.

In between, the country’s best drivers will take on a new track, compete in the sport’s most prestigious crown jewels, visit staples of the schedule, and return to tracks eager to welcome them back after multi-year absences.

“We’re very happy with the schedule built for 2025,” Series Director Carlton Reimers said. “The calendar comes from taking feedback from both teams and fans and creating a campaign complete with the sport’s top events, annual stops, and some places we haven’t been in a while to best showcase The Greatest Show on Dirt.”

The World of Outlaws campaign will begin in Florida for the 21st consecutive season. Volusia Speedway Park’s Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals will bring the nation’s top Sprint Car drivers to Barberville, Fla., for four nights (Feb. 5-8) of racing as they chase a Big Gator championship.

For the third straight season, Volusia will also host the second event of the year as the tour returns three weeks later for the Bike Week Jamboree. Racing on Sunday and Monday (March 2-3) will help kick off Florida’s famed Bike Week as the four-wheel and two-wheel worlds cross over.

64th Knoxville Nationals (Aug. 6-9) – The sprint car world will converge on Knoxville Raceway in early August for the 64th NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s.
