Column By: NICK GRAZIANO / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – GRAND FORKS, ND – North Dakota will welcome the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series for the second time this year with stops at two fan-favorite tracks in August.

The Greatest Show on Dirt will visit River Cities Speedway on Friday, Aug. 23, and Red River Valley Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 24 – both races paying $12,000 to win.

It’ll be the Series’ second trip to River Cities this year. In June, Giovanni Scelzi held off a hard-charging Sheldon Haudenschild for his first win at the bullring. In doing so, he became the fifth different winner in five races at the track, joining David Gravel, Logan Schuchart, Carson Macedo and Brad Sweet.

Ten-time Series champion Donny Schatz, of Fargo, ND, still holds the most Series wins of any World of Outlaws driver at the track with 13. His last came in 2019.

Of active full-time World of Outlaws drivers, Schatz also holds the most Series wins at his home track Red River Valley Speedway with six. He’s the only driver with a repeat victory there in the Series’ last 10 visits to the 3/8-mile dirt track.

Pennsylvania’s Logan Schuchart is the most recent winner at the track, outrunning Gravel and Scelzi for his first win at the track last year.
