Severe Weather Threat Cancels Saturday’s Race at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55
Knoxville Raceway doubleheader up next
PEVELY, MO (August 15, 2023) – With morning thunderstorms in the St. Louis area coupled with forecasted severe thunderstorms in the evening – including lightning, hail and damaging winds, World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota and track officials have decided it is in the best interest of driver, crew and fan safety to cancel Saturday’s race at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55.
The decision comes after working closely with Meteorologist Wayne Mahar from Precision Weather Service and monitoring the local weather for the past 24 hours.
While the spring visit was cut short, the World of Outlaws look forward to returning to I-55 on August 4-5 for the iconic Ironman 55 with a $20,000 winner’s check on the line. Joining The Greatest Show on Dirt will be the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota in conjunction with the POWRi National Midget League, creating another exciting weekend of all-you-can-eat, open wheel racing.
The World of Outlaws now turns its attention to next weekend’s two night trip to Knoxville Raceway (April 21-22).
