The first is set for this weekend (April 18-19) as The Greatest Show on Dirt heads to the Marion County Fairgrounds for the first leg of the Premier Chevy Dealers Clash.

PEVELY, Mo. — Friday night left Logan Schuchart with a bad taste in his mouth. He knew he had the best car. He knew how close he came to standing in victory lane. But several ill-timed cautions forced he and the Shark Racing crew to settle for second behind Carson Macedo. Schuchart wasn’t about to suffer the same fate Saturday. A stacked field of 60 World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars rolled into I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park.

One couldn’t ask for more. The battle for the top spot might’ve been the most intense action on track.

PEVELY, Mo. — It’s one of the country’s baddest bullrings. It’s high banks and high speeds. It’s tight confines. It’s endless action. It’s I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park, and it’s next for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars. The track name is slightly tweaked after a new ownership group took the reins ahead of 2025, but the racing promises to be as intense as ever.

LAWTON, Okla. — The box score is going to show Michael “Buddy” Kofoid led every lap of Friday’s Sooner State Showdown at Lawton Speedway, but it was far from an easy victory. The Roth Motorsports pilot had to survive a flurry of attacks from fellow Californian Carson Macedo. The driver of the Jason Johnson Racing No. 41 threw absolutely everything he had at him for all 35 laps. He tried to roll the bottom around the No. 83. He threw sliders.

PAIGE, Texas — David Gravel and Big Game Motorsports came about as close to perfection as possible this weekend in the Lone Star State. It began with Friday’s victorious night at Cotton Bowl Speedway. The defending World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car champion started the night with Simpson Quick Time and topped the opening heat. Gravel then finished fourth in the Toyota Dash, and it would be the first and only time he wasn’t atop the leaderboard the entire weekend.
