WHERE
On Wednesday, the World Of Outlaws Stacker 2 Late Model Series will blast into Delmar, DE, racing at the famed Delaware International Speedway.
The series will head west, making tracks for Frank Plessinger’s Hagerstown Speedway, where the tour will race the “24th Annual Stanley Schetrompf Memorial 50,” a $5,000-to-win 50-lap event planned for Friday. Saturday, July 9, the Outlaws will participate in the $15,000-to-win, 58-lap “58th Anniversary Classic.”
