2011 World of Outlaws Late Model Series Schedule Released

CONCORD, NC – Dec. 10, 2010 – An exciting mix of stalwart tracks, new venues
and lucrative, high-profile events will comprise the 2011 World of Outlaws
Late Model Series schedule, which was released on Friday during the
Performance Racing Industry trade show in Orlando, Fla.

Forty events covering 46 race dates at 33 tracks in 20 states are currently
confirmed as part of the national tour’s 2011 slate, including a half-dozen
extra-distance blockbusters highlighted by the $50,000-to-win USA Nationals
on Aug. 5-6 at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., the fifth annual
Firecracker 100 on June 23-25 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., and
the second annual Commonwealth 100 on April 15-16 at Virginia Motor Speedway
in Jamaica, Va.

The eighth consecutive WoO LMS season under the World Racing Group banner
kicks off on Feb. 17 and 19 with a pair of 50-lap A-Mains during the 40th
annual DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville,
Fla. It will conclude for the fifth straight year with the World of Outlaws
World Finals on Nov. 3-5 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in Concord, N.C.

“Another spectacular year of World of Outlaws Late Model Series action is in
store for fans across the country,” said series director Tim Christman.
“We’re proud to be working with some of dirt Late Model racing’s top
racetrack operators to provide teams and spectators a schedule that’s filled
with thrilling, can’t-miss events from February through November.

“As the dramatic 2010 battle for the World of Outlaws championship proved,
every lap of every race counts. There’s no doubt fans are going to once
again see the sport’s best drivers racing all-out every night in search of
that big $100,000 prize that’s waiting for the champion.”

Christman said he expects to add at least five more events to the schedule
released on Friday, potentially pushing the total number of races and host
tracks in 2011 to historic high-water marks. The WoO LMS currently boasts
alltime single-season highs of 44 A-Mains (2007 and 2010) and 38 different
tracks (2010).

The centerpiece of the WoO LMS’s attractive special-event schedule remains
Cedar Lake Speedway’s 100-lap USA Nationals on Aug. 5-6. The crown-jewel
program, which returned to the WoO LMS schedule last year for the fifth time
overall in its 24-year history, holds the status as the richest race on the
’11 sked with a purse of nearly a quarter-million dollars.

Lernerville’s fast-growing Firecracker 100, meanwhile, will again boast
three full nights of competition after its popular expansion in 2010. The
early-summer festival of speed at the sparkling four-tenths-mile oval kicks
off with 30-lap, $6,000-to-win preliminary features on Thurs., June 23, and
Fri., June 24, before ending with the traditional 100-lap headliner offering
$30,000 for first place on Sat., June 25.

Returning to the WoO LMS slate after a successful debut in 2010 is the
Commonwealth 100 at Virginia Motor Speedway, a $25,000-to-win springtime
biggie set for April 15-16. The event at Bill Sawyer’s pristine half-mile
oval carries the third-largest winner’s share on the 2011 schedule.

The list of century-grind events also includes the fourth annual Illini 100,
which moves to La Salle (Ill.) Speedway on April 1-2 after three seasons at
Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway; an inaugural early-season 100-lapper on March
18-19 at Columbus (Miss.) Speedway, which hosts the WoO LMS for the first
time since 2007; and the brand-new ‘Outlaw Sizzler 101’ on July 2-3 at
Tazewell (Tenn.) Speedway, which will dominate the Independence Day weekend
landscape by presenting its biggest dirt Late Model race ever. All three
races will pay $20,000 to win.

Other multi-day programs featured in 2011 include February’s DIRTcar
Nationals by UNOH; the RaceFest World Championships on May 28-29 at West
Virginia Motor Speedway in Mineral Wells, which will reprise its successful
’10 Memorial Day weekend program with a 30-lap A-Main for $8,000 to win on
Saturday night and a 40-lap headliner offering a $10,000 top prize on Sunday
evening; the Oil Region Labor Day Classic on Sept. 3-4 at Tri-City Speedway
in Franklin, Pa. (two 50-lap, $10,000-to-win cards for the sixth consecutive
year); and the World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, which will pack
the house for a season-ending tripleheader weekend on Nov. 3-5 that also
includes the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and the Super DIRTcar Series
for big-block Modifieds.

The season’s longest – and perhaps most critical – swing will be mid-July’s
‘Wild West Tour,’ which expands to an ambitious stretch of at least seven
races over a 12-day period after being condensed to a more modest four
events over consecutive nights in 2010. After the western trek kicks off
with a Sooner State doubleheader at Outlaw Motor Speedway in Muskogee, Okla.
(July 8) and Tri-State Speedway in Picola, Okla. (July 9) – the tour’s first
visit to Outlaw since 2004 and Tri-State since 2005 – successive races will
be contested on July 12 at Independence (Iowa) Motor Speedway (first-ever
WoO LMS event); July 13 at Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn. (the
‘Gopher 50’ makes it seventh straight appearance on the series); July 14 at
Superior (Wis.) Speedway, which hosted the tour for the first time in 2010;
July 15 at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D. (sixth straight year
on the schedule); and July 19 at Gillette (Wyo.) Thunder Speedway, which
returns to the tour after a one-year hiatus.

The WoO LMS will close out the busy month of July with another regional
swing that begins on July 27 at Central PA Speedway in Clearfield, Pa., and
ends on July 31 at Eriez Speedway in Hammett, Pa. The Keystone State tracks
will sandwich two additional dates that are still to be announced.

Other highlights of the 2011 schedule include:

* An early-season tripleheader weekend in the Southeast, with events on
March 25 at Ocala (Fla.) Speedway, March 26 at Screven Motor Speedway in
Sylvania, Ga., and March 27 at Needmore Speedway in Norman Park, Ga. Ocala
(2010) and Screven (2010 and 2009) have previously hosted the tour, while
Needmore is new to the schedule.

* A Midwestern weekend to close out the month of April. The tour’s return
engagement to Bluegrass Speedway in Bardstown, Ky., on April 30 anchors the
doubleheader, which will visit a still-to-be-determined track the previous
night.

* Spring dates on May 6 at Fayetteville (N.C.) Motor Speedway and May 7 at
Swainsboro (Ga.) Raceway. The two tracks paired up on the WoO LMS schedule
for the first time in 2010.

* The traditional spring midweek event at Delaware International Speedway in
Delmar, which hosts the WoO LMS for the seventh time in eight years on
Thurs., May 12. The trip to the First State will be followed by a first-ever
visit to Winchester (Va.) Speedway on Sat., May 14.

* Beckley (W.Va.) Motor Speedway hosts the tour for the first time on Fri.,
May 27, as a lead-in to the Memorial Day weekend doubleheader at West
Virginia Motor Speedway.

* A pre-Firecracker 100 event on Tues., June 21, at Brewerton (N.Y.)
Speedway – the only WoO LMS event currently scheduled in the Empire State
during the 2011 season.

* A midweek date on Wed., Aug. 3, at Shawano (Wis.) Speedway that precedes
the USA Nationals. The WoO LMS appeared at the half-mile oval outside Green
Bay last year for the first time since a 1989 event there during the first
incarnation of the tour.

* A first-ever WoO LMS event at Winston Speedway in Rothbury, Mich., on Aug.
19. The race, which brings the tour to the Wolverine State for the first
time since 2007, will be paired with another event on Aug. 20 that series
officials will soon announce.

* Hartford (Mich.) Motor Speedway will host the tour for the first time on
Sept. 16 – the eve of the Pepsi Nationals on Sept. 17 at I-55 Raceway in
Pevely, Mo., which has become a popular stop on the series itinerary.

Just five tracks are scheduled to host multiple WoO LMS A-Mains in 2011.
Leading the group with three races apiece are Lernerville and The Dirt Track
at Charlotte, which also presents the mid-week World of Outlaws Late Model
Showdown on Oct. 12 at part of Charlotte Motor Speedway’s NASCAR weekend;
Volusia, West Virginia Motor and Tri-City will also hold two events each as
single-visit doubleheaders.

The series is currently scheduled to visit six tracks for the first time.

WoO LMS officials expect to announce additional dates in the near future.
