World of Outlaws reveals 2025 schedule
CONCORD, N.C. — The 2025 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car schedule is here and ready to take The Greatest Show on Dirt on a 90-night journey around North America.
The Series’ 48th season of showcasing the top level of Sprint Car racing will send the teams to 41 tracks in 21 states along with a Canadian province as the tour ventures outside the United States borders for the first time in eight years.
It all begins in Florida at Volusia Speedway Park and finds its final destination nine months later at The Dirt Track at Charlotte. In between, the country’s best drivers will take on a new track, compete in the sport’s most prestigious crown jewels, visit staples of the schedule, and return to tracks eager to welcome them back after multi-year absences.
“We’re very happy with the schedule built for 2025,” Series Director Carlton Reimers said. “The calendar comes from taking feedback from both teams and fans and creating a campaign complete with the sport’s top events, annual stops, and some places we haven’t been in a while to best showcase The Greatest Show on Dirt.”
GATOR HUNTIN’: The World of Outlaws campaign will begin in Florida for the 21st consecutive season. Volusia Speedway Park’s Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals will bring the nation’s top Sprint Car drivers to Barberville, FL for four nights (Feb. 5-8) of racing as they chase a Big Gator championship.

And for the third straight season, Volusia will also host the second event of the year as the tour returns three weeks later for the Bike Week Jamboree. Racing on Sunday and Monday (March 2-3) will help kick off Florida’s famed Bike Week as the four-wheel and two-wheel worlds cross over.
NEW TRACK
Mississippi Thunder Speedway (Aug. 19) – The one new facility on the calendar is Fountain City, WI’s Mississippi Thunder Speedway. The Interstate Racing Association (IRA) Sprint Cars delivered a thriller at Mississippi Thunder this year, and now the “Badger State” oval is ready to bring The Greatest Show on Dirt to town in 2025.
BACK ON THE SCHEDULE
Ohsweken Speedway (May 14-15) – Canada, we’re coming back! The nation’s top Sprint Car drivers will make a highly anticipated return to Canada for the first time since 2017 as the tour crosses the northern border aimed at Ontario’s Ohsweken Speedway for two nights of weekday racing in May.
Cornwall Motor Speedway (May 18) – The action in Canada doesn’t end after two nights at Ohsweken. Sunday will take the tour to Cornwall Motor Speedway for the first time since 2014 to wrap up a three-race stay in “The Great White North.”
Plymouth Dirt Track (June 6) – The World of Outlaws will ignite a three-race weekend in Wisconsin by ending a 20-year absence from Plymouth Dirt Track.
Angell Park Speedway (June 8) – The World of Outlaws have made just one visit to Angell Park Speedway (2016), but that is set to change next year as the tour returns to the historic Sun Prairie, WI oval on a Sunday in June.
Deer Creek Speedway (July 10) – An eight-year wait ends in July when Minnesota’s Deer Creek Speedway welcomes the nation’s best Sprint Car drivers for the first time since 2017.
Vado Speedway Park (Sept. 5-6) – Back in 2022 The Greatest Show on Dirt debuted at New Mexico’s Vado Speedway Park with a midweek show. And in 2025 the Series returns in a bigger way with a two-night weekend in “The Land of Enchantment.”
Perris Auto Speedway (Sept. 13) – Just like Vado, this So-Cal oval has been absent from the calendar since 2022 and will return in 2025. The World of Outlaws are set for their 23rd visit to Perris Auto Speedway.
New Egypt Speedway (Oct. 10) – The state of New Jersey will be treated to the country’s top Sprint Car talent for the first time since 2022. The World of Outlaws make a fall trip to Somerset, NJ’s New Egypt Speedway for the track’s 10th race in Series history.
LaSalle Speedway (Oct. 18) – A week after New Egypt, another track will host the World of Outlaws for the 10th time. The tour heads back to Illinois’ LaSalle Speedway for the first visit since 2013 in mid-October.

64th Knoxville Nationals (Aug. 6-9) – The Sprint Car world will converge on Knoxville Raceway in early August for the 64th NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s. It’s the one race every driver dreams of winning when they first strap into a Sprint Car.

Dennis Roth Classic (Sept. 19-20) – Last year’s Dennis Roth Classic grew to new heights as the World of Outlaws sanctioned the race for the first time and the winner’s share rose to $83,000. The Thunderbowl Raceway (Tulare, CA) event will again feature the massive payday as a nod to Roth’s iconic car number.
63rd National Open (Oct. 3-4) – The World of Outlaws and Pennsylvania Posse rivalry reaches its peak at the beginning of October at Williams Grove Speedway’s National Open. It’s all about big money and bragging rights at the “Natty O” as the 2025 winner will again take home $75,000.
