Column: River Cities, Ogilvie Setup June Doubleheader Weekend For WoO Sprints
Column By: NICK GRAZIANO / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – GRAND FORKS, ND – For the first time in 2024, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will venture north for a North Dakota and Minnesota weekend in June.
First, “The Greatest Show on Dirt” will make its 32nd visit to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, ND on Friday, June 7. The 1/4-mile bullring has become a fan, and driver favorite, consistently producing wheel-to-wheel, edge-of-your-seat, action – demonstrated by Logan Schuchart and Sheldon Haudenschild battling for the win in the final laps last August.
The event will also be the first homecoming of the year for 10-time Series champion Donny Schatz, of Fargo, ND. He has 12 World of Outlaws victories at the track, however, the last came in 2019.
On Saturday, June 8, the World of Outlaws will make its second trip to Ogilvie Speedway in Ogilvie, MN for the Big ‘O’ Showdown. Last year, Carson Macedo dominated the Series’ debut at the 3/8-mile track. He set the track record and then led from start to finish in the Jason Johnson Racing No. 41.
Both races will have a $12,000 payday on the line this year, as well.
