The World of Outlaws will be joined on Empire State Challenge Weekend by the DIRTcar 358-Modifieds on Saturday, July 30 and the DIRTcar Big Block Modifieds on Sunday, July 31.
“The opportunity to have the World of Outlaws on consecutive nights was certainly unique and one we could not pass up,” said Weedsport Speedway’s, Jimmy Phelps. “To be able to pair the Outlaws with both the 358 Modifieds and the Big Blocks will make for a fantastic show and we hope fans will take advantage of our spacious campgrounds and join us for the entire weekend.”
