Our Series
By the halfway point of the season, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars has already had nine different changes for the championship lead, most recently between four-time and reigning Series champion Brad Sweet and David Gravel – looking for his first title. The Dirt Track proudly hosts a variety of rowdy events that thrill entertainment-seekers who like things loud, adrenaline-filled, and (of course) dirty. Notably, The Dirt Track hosts the Can-Am World Finals, a once-a-year championship event for World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars, World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Models and Super DIRTcar Series Big-Block Modifieds. The Dirt Track has also brought Monster Trucks and motorcycling stars from AMA Pro Flat Track to North Carolina with a championship Monster Truck spectacular gracing the track annually.
The World Short Track regular scored his first top-five finish in the event last year. VP RACING DIRTCAR SPORTSMAN – An all-star field of the northeast’s best DIRTcar Sportsman drivers will make the trek south for their final marquee event this year. The NASCAR Cup Series schedule has undergone significant changes heading into the 2024 season. The Brickyard 400 returns after three years of racing on the Indianapolis Road Course, the regular season finale has moved to Darlington Raceway, and the playoffs have been altered. Chase Holland and his team raced on the East Coast during the last weekend in October, taking part in a talented 44-car DIRTcar UMP Modified field at The Dirt Track at Charlotte (Concord, North Carol...
FOX FACTORY DIRTCAR PRO (604) LATE MODELS – Standing as one of the most competitive Crate-engine Late Model races in the southeast, several of the region’s top competitors will be gunning for the $4,000 grand prize, some with series points championship implications on the line. More than 300 drivers, divided among 10 divisions, will gather in Concord, NC for the fall marquee event – arguably the biggest event of the year for most of them as it’s the one they all want to win. The on-track action starts Wednesday, Nov. 1, but the event will kick off on Tuesday, Oct. 31, with the annual hauler parade at 4 p.m.
Then, Saturday will host the remaining Last Chance Showdowns and Feature for all 10 divisions. In the six Feature events last year, Zach Slone and Dan Benson became first time winners while John Windham and Newman Presnell added two more titles to their collection – making them the winningest drivers of the event as Windham has five wins and Presnell has four. MSD DIRTCAR PRO STOCKS – The DIRTcar Pro Stock division has been one of the most competitive groups since its introduction to the World Short Track Championship in 2018 with seven different winners in seven races – including the All Star Invitationals. From weekly racers to national stars, this year’s edition is set to showcase the most impressive field yet, including National Dirt Late Model Hall of Famer Steve Francis, multi-time World Short Track champion Nick Hoffman and NASCAR Cup Series star Justin Haley.
JR Motorsports teases big NASCAR announcement for May 2
CONCORD, NY – The time trials are complete and all that’s left to do now is race it out on the track. With the cold weather, the schedule has been flexed up by one hour, so Opening Ceremonies will take place at 4pm EST. A full schedule for tonight, along with heat race lineups for all divisions can be found below. After the final checkered flag falls Saturday evening, fans will get to watch the three series champions celebrate their 2023 title on the front stretch with a fireworks spectacle. With Coonradt moving up to the Modified ranks and not entered in the event, this year could produce a sixth different winner.
Last year, fans were treated to exciting racing around the 4/10-mile track from all three series and all roads are pointing another thrilling November finale. By the halfway point of the season, the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars have already had nine different changes for the championship lead, most recently between four-time and reigning Series champion Brad Sweet and David Gravel – looking for his first title. Dillon Brown, of Gaffney, SC, triumphed over the Pro Late Model field in 2021 for his first World Short Track title – adding to his All-Star Invitational win in the 2016 edition. Last October, he nearly went back-to-back, leading the first 18 laps of the main event before eventual winner Trent Ivey passed him for the win in the closing laps. Though Brown went on to finish second, he’s headed back to The Dirt Track this weekend to avenge his defeat from one year ago. The rest of the week will bring edge-of-your-seat, heart-pounding, action, en route to crowning 2023 champions.
Hoffman, now a full-time competitor with the World of Outlaws Late Models, made the announcement via social media last week of his intent to build a Modified from scratch for this weekend in what will be a tune-up before he goes back on Late Model duty for the World Finals the following weekend. Standing in his way of a fourth event crown will be a long list of accomplished veterans and eastern series regulars looking to put a stop to his Charlotte dominance. The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway sits across a highway from Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, right next to the Morrison Motor Car Museum (for those who love all things cars) and just a 20-minute drive northeast of sparkling downtown Charlotte. Like the speedway itself, The Dirt Track is referred to as America's Home for Racing. The clay oval track covers four-tenths of a mile and can seat close to 14,000 (usually highly enthusiastic) fans at capacity.
Fans can gather along the roadway in front of the building and welcome each World of Outlaws and Super DIRTcar Series team as they make their way to the dirt track. Thursday and Friday’s Features for the Sprint Cars and Late Models will pay $15,000 to win and $1,200 to start, while Saturday’s Feature will pay $25,000 to win and $1,750 to start. COMP CAMS (MMSA) MINI STOCKS – In seven Feature events at the World Short Track Championship, there have been six different winners. Of them are 16 North Carolina natives looking for a home state win, including Kenneth Colf, of Denver, NC.
Reigning Series champion Matt Sheppard will try to make history this season and claim his 10th title. Recently, the Super DIRTcar Series has had seven different winners in the last eight races, including first time winners and the return to Victory Lane for a Hall of Famer. Leading the charge into Charlotte is the defending winner of the inaugural Thunder Bomber main event – Rod Tucker. The 28-year-old from Greensville, SC, became the only driver in event history to win a Feature in two different divisions with the win last year after topping the MMSA Mini Stock main event in 2018. An 18-time Feature winner in 2023 between Thunder Bombers, Street Stocks, 602 Late Models and Renegade Sportsman, Tucker is among the frontrunners for another win this weekend. Holcombe, of Elm City, NC, started 17th on the grid last year and drove his #8A up to fourth by the checkered.
Ridley scored his first World Short Track victory during last year’s Saturday night show. Co-sanctioned by the Mid-East 604 Crate Late Model Series and the Crate Racin’ USA Dirt Late Model Series, a notable points battle in the Mid-East standings will also be settled this weekend. Dalton Jacobs, of Reidsville, NC, leads Travis Steele, of Clover, SC, by a single point in the series standings with the season finale on tap Saturday at Charlotte. Jacobs faded back from 10th on the starting grid to finish 18th last year, while Steele makes his first World Short Track appearance in a 604.
He’ll try to be the first repeat Monster Mini World Short Track winner since Brayden Pruitt accomplished the feat with his back-to-back wins in 2019 and 2020. Of the more than 40 drivers entered in the division, Terry Caples Jr., of Sumter, SC, will enter with the best momentum, having recently won with the division at Fayetteville Motor Speedway at the beginning of the month. Devon Morgan, of Easley, SC, left as the champion last year and will be back to try and defend his title this year.
