Late Model stars to race in Minnesota and Wisconsin July 28-30

Gilman City, Mo. (July 22, 2009) -- The Midwest-based WORLD Dirt Racing League, a Late Model touring series, is once again headed to the north country.

In late July, the series' stars and cars are going to Minnesota and Wisconsin for their second Northern Swing of the 2009 racing season.

WDRL will be appearing at North Central Speedway in Brainerd, Minn., on Tuesday, July 28, and will top off the night's events with a 40-lap feature that pays $5,000 to win. Series drivers will see if they can top the race they had at North Central in June, where the feature had spectators standing the last five laps and was won by a .020-second margin.

Then, on the next night, Wednesday, July 29, the WORLD Dirt Racing League will again visit Superior Speedway in Superior, Wis., for a 35-lap WDRL feature with a $3,500 first prize. Superior Speedway always creates an exciting atmosphere with competitive races.

East Moline, Ill. (May 11, 2009) -- The WORLD Dirt Racing League was up for round 2 of its 2009 season here Sunday at Quad City Raceway, and racing fans who made the journey to the tight, high banks of QCR were treated to some of the best door-to-door action seen so far this season.

Thirty-one WDRL cars and drivers were on hand to take their shot at the $5,000 top prize as Chad Simpson in his no. 25 car sought to extend his early season point lead.

Four ultra-competitive heat races started the evening with the top finishers coming from the rear of the field in each event.

The eight-car pole dash was Quad City Raceway's version of Talladega with the top positions two by two from start to finish.

The 40-lap main event went flag to flag with intense racing throughout the entire field. Al Purkey of Coffeyville, Kan., darted into the early lead with WDRL Rookie of the Year contender Chad Mahder in tow.
