The road to World of Outlaws World Finals is nearing its conclusion, and three more stops are on the horizon as the calendar turns to fall.
The World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision will contest four races at three tracks in two states in the month of September, with plenty of big paydays and championship points up for grabs along the way.
Here’s a look at what’s ahead:
Needmore Speedway | Needmore Late Model Showdown (Sept. 12): Six days after the World 100 at Eldora Speedway, the eyes of the dirt Late Model world will shift to Georgia for the first World of Outlaws race at Needmore Speedway in 14 years.
The only previous visit came in 2011 when Clint Smith picked up his 12th and most recent World of Outlaws victory. Tim McCreadie finished fifth as the only current Outlaw in the field that night, but he’s far from the only driver with laps around the track. Seven full-timers were in the field at the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series event at Needmore in January, with Ethan Dotson leading the charge in second.
None of them have more Needmore experience than Georgia’s own Cody Overton, who has a collection of Norman Park wins in the Crate Late Model ranks including a $10,000 score in the 2023 Early Bird 50.

Senoia Raceway | Billy Clanton Classic (Sept. 13): The second half of a “Peach State” doubleheader goes down an hour south of Atlanta at Senoia Raceway for the Billy Clanton Classic.
The track owned by pavement Late Model legend Bubba Pollard and family has hosted The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet on three previous occasions, with the trophies going to Brandon Sheppard (2017), Chris Madden (2018) and Ashton Winger (2021).
Only three Outlaws will be flying blind into Senoia – Dustin Sorensen, Jake Timm and Tristan Chamberlain – while everyone else has made starts there in either World of Outlaws or regional competition. And like Needmore, Overton is the only one who has found his way to Victory Lane. A Spring Nationals win in March serves as his most recent Senoia triumph and his first in a Super Late Model.

Tri-City Speedway | Summer Cup Clash (Sept. 26-27): Two nights at the Gundaker-owned Tri-City Speedway await in the final Illinois stop of the 2025 season.
The Granite City, IL facility was on the schedule in the first season of the revitalized tour, with Darrell Lanigan taking the checkers in 2004. Eighteen years later, Bobby Pierce won the Series’ return in 2022 followed by Kyle Bronson’s latest World of Outlaws win in 2023.
Other former Tri-City winners include Brian Shirley, Dennis Erb Jr., Ryan Gustin and Tanner English in a Late Model, as well as three-time DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals victor Nick Hoffman.
