Stop At Tennessee\u2019s Duck River Set For March 24, New York\u2019s Fonda Hosts Tour On June 19<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"CONCORD, NC \u2013 Jan. 11, 2013 \u2013 The record-breaking 2013 World of Outlaws Late Model Series schedule continued its expansion Friday with the announcement of first-ever visits to Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tenn., and Fonda (N.Y.) Speedway.<\/p>\n

Duck River is set to host the WoO LMS on Sun., March 24 \u2013 anchoring a tripleheader weekend that also includes events in Arkansas and Mississippi \u2013 while Fonda\u2019s date on Wed., June 19, will kick off an early-summer swing through the Northeast for the national tour. Both tracks will present 50-lap A-Mains paying $10,000 to win.<\/p>\n

The addition of the two shows pushes the 2013 WoO LMS schedule to 54 A-Mains at 41 tracks in 21 states and two Canadian provinces, putting the circuit in line to surpass its single-season record of 44 events.<\/p>\n

Duck River\u2019s March 24 program will mark the richest promotion in the short tenure of its new operators Bob and Cathy Harris, who purchased the quarter-mile oval in July 2012. The couple has invested over $100,000 in facility improvements since taking control of the speedway \u2013 and Bob Harris, a former dirt Late Model team owner, is anxious to show the fruits of his labor to a large group of traveling racers and fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m real excited to bring the World of Outlaws to Duck River,\u201d said Harris, who has overseen a flurry of construction and upgrades that includes new bathrooms, concession stands and guardrails and a fresh clay racing surface. \u201cI think everybody will be real impressed with the facility and what we\u2019ve done here, and we\u2019re hoping this will be a starting point for a long relationship between Duck River and the World of Outlaws.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duck River Raceway Park, which is located about an hour\u2019s drive south of Nashville, will complete a three-race barnstorming of the Southeast by the WoO LMS. The tour will also compete on Fri., March 22, at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark., and Sat., March 23, at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, Miss.<\/p>\n

Fonda Speedway, meanwhile, will host the first World of Outlaws event in its long and storied history on June 19. Ric Lucia, who promotes the legendary half-mile oval on the banks of the Mohawk River, will pair the WoO LMS with a program for Fonda\u2019s headline big-block Modified division, setting up a monster twinbill that could entice WoO LMS stars Tim McCreadie and Tim Fuller \u2013 two former big-block Modified regulars from Watertown, N.Y. \u2013 to pull double-duty.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to finally having a World of Outlaws event at Fonda,\u201d said Lucia. \u201cAnd I feel like if you\u2019re gonna showcase a special group of cars to your fans, you might as well put your own best cars with them to give everybody a really great show. I think a doubleheader of World of Outlaws Late Models and big-block Modifieds on one of the fastest, most exciting tracks in the Northeast will be a show nobody will want to miss.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fonda date will head a week-and-a-half-long trek across the Northeast for the WoO LMS, which also will race on June 20 at Brighton (Ont.) Speedway; June 23 at Cornwall (Ont.) Motor Speedway; June 25 at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park; and June 27-29 at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa. (seventh annual Firecracker 100).<\/p>\n
