WEST MEMPHIS, AR (Sept. 25, 2024) – For the first time since 2018, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will make the trek to Arkansas for a doubleheader weekend at Riverside International Speedway.
The World of Outlaws Bullring Blitz will be Friday-Saturday, Oct. 25-26, paying $12,000 to win both nights. It’ll be the final weekend of the 2024 season before the championship finale at The Dirt Track at Charlotte during the World of Outlaws World Finals (Nov. 6-9).
When the Series last visited the 1/4-mile track in 2018, Daryn Pittman held off attacks from Sheldon Haudenschild and Brad Sweet to score the victory – his second at the dirt track.
Of active full-time drivers, 10-time Series champion Donny Schatz is currently the only World of Outlaws driver with a victory at Riverside. However, that win came in 2008.
Both nights will be crucial for championship contenders David Gravel, Carson Macedo and Schatz. With World Finals looming, a good or bad night could make or break a championship run.
