Column By: NICK GRAZIANO / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – GREENWOOD, LA – Before the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models conclude their 2024 season at the World of Outlaws World Finals, they’ll set the stage for the final war of stars with two high-paying debuts.
First, the Series will visit Boothill Speedway in Greenwood, IL, for the first time on Friday, Sept. 27, and then venture to Rocket Raceway Park in Petty, TX, on Saturday, Sept. 28. Both events will pay $15,000 to win and feature a $65,000 overall purse.
Along with the Series debuting at both tracks, it’ll also be the first time the two tracks host a national Late Model series. However, some of the full-time World of Outlaws drivers do have experience at Boothill and Rocket.
Reigning Series champion Bobby Pierce won at Boothill with the Comp Cams Super Dirt Series in March and Louisiana native Cade Dillard has four wins at the track, most recently in September 2023.
During the March Comp Cams event, 2024 World of Outlaws MD3 Rookie of the Year contender Tristan Chamberlain also competed in the race and finished 10th.
Dillard and Dustin Sorensen – current MD3 Rookie of the Year leader – are the only current full-time Series drivers with a win at Rocket Raceway Park. However, their wins came in a Modified.
The last major Late Model race at Rocket was the Comp Cams Super Dirt Series event last year, which Dillard finished second in.
