After much speculation, word came down this afternoon that Quincy Raceways has landed a date to host the World of Outlaw late model show in 2015. Officials have been trying for some time to get a date that they felt would give the .29 ,ile " Broadway Bullring " a chance to be successful. Apparently a schedule changed opened up a date, Thursday, July 23, the night before the first night of the Prairie Dirt Classic at Fairbury,Il. The date corresponds with the Midwest Open Wheel Association Illinois Sprint week, an organization basically headed up by the same folks who put on weekly racing at Quincy. The Thursday date for the 410 sprinters is usually reserved for Tri City Speedway in Pontoon Beach,Il. but promoters Kevin and Tammy Gundaker agreed to switch nights, and just like that, Quincy will be hosting the World of Outlaw late models and the MOWA sprint cars on the same night! Final details such as times, ticket prices, etc. are still being finalized, but this will for sure be a can't miss event for area fans. It will, of course, be the first ever visit to Quincy for the Outlaws, featuring the likes of Earl Pearson Jr., Darrell Lanigan, Tim McCreadie, and others that many folks only see on television. The Ciltrak promotion team established a relationship with WoO last season, hosting a World of Outlaw sprint car show at Jacksonville Speedway. The Quincy show will come just over a month after the UMP Summernational Hell Tour Stop for the late models, with that event on Sunday, June 21.
