CONCORD, N.C. – Officials at the World of Outlaws and The Dirt Track at Charlotte have announced that the Can-Am World Finals, originally scheduled for Nov. 5-7, will not take place this year.
However, the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series will both visit The Dirt Track at Charlotte in November.
The World of Outlaws Last Call will close out the season for both divisions. The World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series will visit the track on Nov. 4-5, with World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series on Nov. 6-7.
The Super DIRTcar Series big-block modifieds, which usually join the sprint cars and late models at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, will not be on the card.
“We’ve been hopeful for the past several weeks that North Carolina’s pandemic restrictions would lift, enabling us to fill the grandstands for the very best in dirt track championship racing,” said Charlotte Motor Speedway Executive Vice President and General Manager Greg Walter. “Unfortunately, the current limitations prohibit us from executing the Can-Am World Finals in the manner that fans from around the world have come to expect. Our efforts are focused on making 2021 the best yet.”
“Unfortunately, the current restrictions make it impossible to have the world’s three premiere racing series in the Pit area together,” said World of Outlaws CEO Brian Carter. “But if any year needs to end with a bang it’s 2020. As frustrating as 2020 has been, we’re going to end it in spectacular fashion. All dirt roads still lead to Charlotte.”
Current Can-Am World Finals ticketholders will have the first opportunity to secure tickets to the 2021 edition of the season-ending event or may elect to receive a full refund.
Ticketholders and campers for the original event have been encouraged to visit CharlotteMotorSpeedway.com for further details regarding renewals for 2021 or refunds.
