CONCORD, NC\u2014 Aug. 8, 2017\u2014 Two back-to-back shootouts at half-mile dirt ovals await the World of Outlaws Craftsman\u00ae Late Model Series at Georgetown Speedway on Aug. 17 and Port Royal Speedway on Aug. 19.<\/p>\n
Known as a king of half-miles, Rick Eckert will be looking to piggy-back off of his recent success at\u00a0Shawano Speedway<\/a>, where he led flag-to-flag to claim his second Series win in a dominating performance over a hard-charging Chris Madden and Don O\u2019Neal.<\/p>\n While Eckert\u2019s momentum didn\u2019t continue into USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway, he will surely look to revive his fortune in the upcoming Series races. The Outlaws\u2019 first-ever visit to Georgetown Speedway will feature 40 laps and a $10,000 payday, followed by the Series\u2019 return to Port Royal Speedway for the first time in a decade with 50 laps and $10,000 to win.<\/p>\n Both tracks are familiar territory for the Series veteran from York, PA. Eckert claimed a victory at Port Royal Speedway with the Lucas Oil Late Model Series earlier this season. Furthermore, Eckert finished second after a last-lap pass by regional racer Dale Hollidge during a 2016 Ultimate Super Late Model Series event at\u00a0Georgetown Speedway<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tickets for the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series first-ever appearance at\u00a0Georgetown Speedway<\/a>\u00a0on Aug. 17 and the Series return to\u00a0Port Royal Speedway<\/a>\u00a0on Aug. 19 are available now.
