GRAND FORKS, ND - River Cities Speedway is once again proving why it's one of the most prestigious and exciting dirt tracks in the country. This coming weekend (August 15 & 16) will feature a two-night Outlaw Sprint Car and NLRA Late Model double-header. 

Things will kick off Friday night as Gerdau presents "The Greatest Show on Dirt", the World of Outlaw STP Sprint Car Series, for the second and final time this year at River Cities Speedway. Back on June 20th, Donny Schatz passed Kasey Kahne Racing's Cody Darrah with just two laps to go and picked up his second consecutive RCS World of Outlaw win. It looks as though the perfect storm is forming for Schatz to go three-in-a-row as the Fargo, ND driver picked up his eighth $150,000-to-win FVP Knoxville Nationals victory, as well as his 14th World of Outlaws feature win on Tuesday (August 12) at Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, Nebraska. Accompanying the World of Outlaw STP Sprint Cars will be a stout field of Wissota NLRA Late Models. 

Saturday, August 16 is the rain-date for the World of Outlaw event, but if the show runs as scheduled on Friday, another Outlaw Sprint Car/NLRA Late Model event is lined up. River Cities Speedway, the only track in North Dakota and Minnesota to run weekly 410 Sprints and Late Models, brings back Northern Outlaw Sprint Association and the Northern Late Model Racing Association for a rare Saturday night special.
