Overview

In 1988 Ted Johnson, the then proprietor of the World of Outlaws, sought to extend his successful touring series model from sprint cars to the late models. He signed 12 elite drivers to a 21 race schedule at 17 venues from Pennsylvania to Oklahoma.[3] The series went dormant after just two seasons, but was revived by the World Racing Group in 2004.[4]

The cars feature a purpose-built chassis design specifically for dirt late model racing. With many chassis builders within the sport, chassis design and components are always employing new innovation and technology. The cars are powered by aluminum-head V8 engines (usually ranging between 400c.i. & 430c.i.) that produce over 800 horsepower.[5]
