World of Outlaws
There might’ve been small earthquakes registered on the Richter scale in Alaska and Wisconsin on Friday night thanks to Bill Balog. Balog did it. He finally made his way back to World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Victory Lane at Talladega Short Track, and the entire sport united in joy for the 45-year-old. Not a single fan disapproved. Not a single competitor wasn’t happy for their fellow driver.
The Greatest Show on Dirt sets its sights on the “Dirty South” this weekend. The country’s best Sprint Car teams have left the “Sunshine State” with Alabama and Mississippi in their sights.
David Gravel and Big Game Motorsports are on another level right now. The 2024 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car title was something they worked hard for. It eluded them for three seasons straight. But they have no plans of taking their foot off the gas after finally capturing the championship. They want to go on a run for the record books. Not just one title, but many.
Last year David Gravel and Big Game Motorsports engineered an unforgettable season, and they’re out to top it in 2025. There’s no taking the foot off the gas for the defending World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car champions. They made it to the sport’s mountaintop, and they’re determined to protect their territory.
Conner Morrell is ready to join The Greatest Show on Dirt. The 20-year-old has been hired by Bill Rose Racing for his debut campaign with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars. The Bradenton, FL driver becomes the seventh rookie in the class of 2025 and brings the total number of full-time competitors to 15.
Questions and fear swirled in Bill Balog’s mind as he sat upside down in his Sprint Car. He’d just flipped while running fourth at Volusia Speedway Park’s DIRTcar Nationals. Pain burned in his right ankle. He feared the worst. But like most racers, his thoughts were only on the next race.
