CONCORD, N.C. – More pieces of the puzzle are coming together as the Xtreme Outlaw Series prepares for its inaugural season.
Series officials announced schedules for the Xtreme Outlaw Sprints presented by Low-E Insulation and the Xtreme Outlaw Midgets on Thursday afternoon.
“Since we announced the Xtreme Outlaw Series earlier this month, the momentum has continued to build,” said Brian Carter, World of Outlaws and DIRTcar Racing CEO. “Drivers have already committed to run each series, now we’re continuing that momentum by announcing schedules and sponsorship, with more to come as interest in each division is at a very high level.”
The Xtreme Outlaw Sprint Cars presented by Low-E Insulation will consist of 14 events, with the series champion taking home $20,000. The Xtreme Outlaw Midgets are set for 12 events with their series champion taking home $10,000. In efforts to work with existing sanctions bodies, the series will closely follow POWRi/USAC rule books, with a few small changes.
Mandatory head and neck restraints, containments seats, along with the World of Outlaws’ wheel cover rule will be in place.
Kicking off the 14-race slate for the Xtreme Outlaw Sprints presented by Low-E Insulation is the debut on Feb. 14-15 during Volusia Speedway Park’s DIRTcar Nationals, where the series will race with DIRTcar Late Models and the Super DIRTcar Series big-block modifieds.

Another six standalone shows are scheduled for Lake Ozark (June 10-11), Illinois’ Jacksonville Speedway (Sept. 9) and Spoon River Speedway (Sept. 10) and Ohio’s Atomic Speedway (Oct. 7-8).
The season finale for the Xtreme Outlaw Sprint Series will go out with a bang featuring a $5,000-to-win and $10,000-to-win weekend on Oct. 28-29 with the location being announced soon.
