Where to find the official World of Outlaws schedule
The World of Outlaws posts its complete sprint car schedule on worldofoutlaws.com, the official website for the series. The schedule page lists every race date, track location, and start time for the season. You can view races by month, filter by region, or search for a specific track.
The schedule updates as the season progresses and occasionally changes due to weather or track conditions. Bookmark the schedule page or check it before you plan to attend a race, since dates sometimes shift between the time they are announced and race day.

What information the schedule includes
Each race listing shows the track name, city and state, the date, and the scheduled start time for hot laps or driver introductions. The schedule also notes whether a race is part of a special event — like a championship race, a multi-night stand, or a race that counts toward points — though you may need to click into the race details to see the full picture.
The schedule does not always list ticket prices or pit pass costs on the main page. For that information, you will need to visit the individual track's website or call the track directly. Gate times (when spectators can enter) and parking details also vary by track and are usually posted on the track's own site rather than the World of Outlaws page.
How the racing season is structured
The World of Outlaws sprint car season typically runs from March through November, though the exact start and end dates shift slightly year to year. The schedule is heaviest in spring (March through May) and fall (September through November), with fewer races during the summer months when many tracks host other events or take breaks.
Most races are held on Friday and Saturday nights, though some tracks run single-night shows on Thursdays or Sundays. Special events like the Knoxville Nationals or the Kings Royal may span multiple days or be part of longer racing festivals. The World of Outlaws website notes which races are part of these larger events.
Finding races near you
The schedule page on worldofoutlaws.com lets you search by state or region, which is faster than scrolling through the entire season if you are looking for races within driving distance. You can also search by track name if you already know which speedway you want to visit.
If you do not see a track you expected, check whether it hosts World of Outlaws races every year. Some tracks alternate between World of Outlaws and other sprint car series, or they may host World of Outlaws only during certain seasons. The track's own website will tell you whether World of Outlaws is scheduled there in the current year.
How to stay updated on schedule changes
World of Outlaws announces schedule changes through its website, social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter), and email newsletter. If you follow the series on social media or subscribe to the email list, you will see announcements about new races, postponed dates, or cancelled events as soon as they happen.
Track websites and social media pages are also good sources for updates, especially for information specific to that venue. Many tracks post gate times, weather updates, and last-minute changes on their own pages before World of Outlaws updates the main schedule.
What to do before you attend a race
Once you find a race you want to attend, visit the track's website to confirm the date and time, check gate hours, and find out about parking and admission prices. Some tracks require you to purchase tickets in advance online, while others sell them at the gate. A few tracks have reserved seating; others are general admission.
If you plan to bring a pit pass (which lets you go into the pit area to see the cars up close), ask the track about pit pass rules and prices when you buy your ticket. Pit passes often sell out before race day, and some tracks limit the number they sell. Call the track directly if the information is not on their website.

Do all World of Outlaws races run at night?
Most races start in the evening and run into the night, but some tracks host afternoon races or special daytime events. The schedule page lists the start time for each race, so you can see whether a particular event is a day race or a night race.
