World of Outlaws Late Models return to Red River Valley Speedway in 2023

WEST FARGO – The most powerful Late Models on the planet – the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Models – will head back to Red River Valley Speedway for the sixth time in series history next year and the first time since 2020. 

The date is scheduled for Wednesday, June 28th. 

A strong field of 32 cars were entered in the 2020 event, which was won by three-time World of Outlaws champion Darrell Lanigan. Local favorite Ricky Weiss of Headingly, Manitoba, rounded out the podium in third. 

Ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion Donny Schatz was also in action in his Late Model that night and raced to an impressive 10th place finish. 

Over the five previous World of Outlaws Late Model events, there have been just three different winners. Lanigan is the most recent winner, followed by Steve Francis who captured three consecutive wins from 2004-2005. 

Kevin Thompson of Grand Forks had one of the biggest upsets in speedway history as he beat the Outlaws in the series’ first visit to the track in 1989. 

Ticket information and support classes will be announced at a later date.

WEST FARGO, N.D. (March 25, 2022) – Red River Valley Speedway’s 52nd season of racing will offer the same stout lineup race fans have come to expect over the past several years, along with a couple of new and exciting events. 

The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will return for the sixth consecutive year and the 36th time overall on August 27th. Fargo’s Donny Schatz will be looking to collect back-to-back wins at his home track after picking up the big win last year. The NLRA Late Models will co-headline the Saturday night special with the second running of the Howie Schill Memorial. 

For the first time, Red River Valley Speedway will be hosting a Tuesday night special during the Big Iron Farm Show on September 13th, which will feature the Dakota Cat Shootout for the IMCA Modifieds. Other supporting classes for this event will be determined at a later date. 

The Modifieds will also be showcased on June 10th for the inaugural Bison Battle. Details about this event will be coming soon. 

The season kicks off on May 6th with all six of its weekly divisions; IMCA Sprints, Modifieds, Stock Cars, SportMods, Hobby Stocks and INEX Legends. 

The King Pin Klash Stock Car special, presented by The Bowler returns on June 17th, followed by a 40-lap SportMod Shootout on June 24th. The Stock Cars will again be racing for big money as the Sanders Stock Car Challenge is set for July 29th. 

The full Red River Valley Speedway schedule will be announced on March 26th at the Red River Valley Speedway / Norman County Raceway banquet in Ada, Minn.

WEST FARGO – The pits were packed on Friday night at Red River Valley Speedway with 93 race cars checked in for action in what would be a wild night of racing.

The crowd of over 1,000 witnessed big hits, rollovers, and a fire throughout the night, but all drivers involved were okay.

In the first lap of feature action of the night, outside front row starter Dan Pederson of Moorhead lost the handle of his IMCA SportMod right in front of the field. Charlie Jensen of Pelican Rapids, Minn. made heavy contact with Pederson. The impact made the rear end of Jensen’s car lift off the ground, and as it did so, Kelly Jacobson of Fargo came sliding into the wreck. Jensen’s rear end came to rest on top of Jacobson’s roof by the time everything came to rest.

Two rollovers were seen during INEX Legends action. The worst of the two came when Elzetta Bitker of Halstad, Minn. jumped over the right rear of a slower car. Bitker’s machine ramped off the other car, hit the outside retaining wall on the back straightaway before enduring a violent series of end-over-end flips. Bitker was transported to a local hospital for observation but is okay.

Also during the legends feature, a fire broke out under the hood of Ashton Spieker’s No. 2, prompting a red flag. The West Fargo Rural Fire Department was quickly on the scene to extinguish the flames.

Matt Aukland of Fargo topped a stout field of 18 IMCA modifieds to claim his first win of the season and first at Red River Valley Speedway since June 14, 2019. Aukland charged from the ninth starting position and held off defending track champion Austin Arneson en route to the win.

“The wins only come every couple of years the way it seems for me lately, so it feels good,” said Aukland in victory lane. “The Arneson crew is on their game so we have to cherish every (win) we can get.”

After winning a heat race earlier in the night, Aukland quickly charged his way through the running order before taking the point from modified rookie Luke Johnson on lap three. Once out front, the only thing that slowed Aukland were two caution flags.

Aukland has been doing a lot of midweek testing all spring, trying to learn more about how to set up his car.

“Our goal has been to try to get to the race track and not have to guess on what to do with our setup. I’ve been racing the last couple of years and I’ve always been guessing. I just wanted to be more confident in what I had for the feature each night,” said Aukland.

Aukland, a veteran in the late model class, moved to IMCA modifieds in 2019. He said the transition has taken some time to get used to.

“With the crate motor in the modified, as opposed to an open motor in the late model, I’ve had to learn a momentum-style of driving. What feels good in the car isn’t necessarily fast,” he explained. “I’ve been doing a lot more testing with the stopwatch now. In the past, I used to just go with what felt good. With the crate motor and a hard compound tire that comes with the modified, it’s more about momentum than it is traction and side bite like the late model.”

U-Motors Racing had swept the first two modified races of the season with Casey Arneson of Fargo and Pahrump, Nevada driver Kollin Hibdon taking the wins. Austin Arneson of Fargo was the highest finishing U-Motors driver on Friday, finishing second to Aukland.

The win was Aukland’s 16th of his career at the speedway.

In its inaugural season, the IMCA sprint cars may be light on cars, but not on parity. Marcus Rothenbacher of Ulen, Minn. became the third different driver to win in the class in the first three weeks of the season.

After sweeping both the legends and sprint car feature wins last week, Tye Wilke of Detroit Lakes, Minn. returned to victory lane once again, picking up the legends feature. The win was his 14th at Red River Valley Speedway.

Rich Pavlicek of Casselton, N.D. picked up his second IMCA SportMod feature win at the speedway, while Rob VanMil Barnesville, Minn. won an entertaining IMCA stock car main event. Skyla Miller of Harwood, N.D. led early in her Mopar No. 9 IMCA hobby stock, but Tanner Engen of Detroit Lakes tracked her down mid-race and went on to win.

Next Friday night is fireworks night at Red River Valley Speedway.

WEST FARGO – Red River Valley Speedway roared back to life on Friday night as fans packed the stands to watch 94 race teams battling on the speedway’s 52nd season opener.

Sprint cars made their return to the weekly schedule on Friday night for the first time since 2005. The speedway is bringing in the IMCA-sanctioned sprint cars and starting the class from scratch. A small, yet talented field of drivers made up the grid for the main event with West Fargo’s Ty Hanten claiming the win.

Hanten, is a 15-year racing veteran and has competed with the Northern Outlaw Sprint Car series in Grand Forks the last eight seasons.

Hanten jumped out to the early lead and scored the win over sprint car rookie Tye Wilke.

Nineteen cars made up the grid for the IMCA modified feature as Matt Aukland and Allen Kent led them to the green flag.

A pair of Fargo racing veterans, Aukland and Casey Arneson, engaged in a thrilling duel for the lead early in the going. The duo traded the lead back and forth, lap after lap until Arneson claimed an advantage in lapped traffic.

Arneson checked out in the closing stages as he raced to his ninth career Red River Valley Speedway win.

The first feature of the night provided an exciting photo finish. Ryan Restad of West Fargo jumped out to the early lead of the IMCA Sportmod feature with the father-son duo of Scott and Kelly Jacobson of Fargo battling for second. Scott Jacobson took the lead from Restad with 12 laps to go and led the remainder of the race, but it didn’t come easy.

On the final lap, Restad mounted a challenge on Jacobson and pulled alongside him coming to the checkered flag. Jacobson held off by Restad by a half car length to pick up the win.

Travis Robertson of Moorhead claimed his fourth career IMCA stock car win over a stout 21 car field. The race got off to a rocky start as Tyler McDougall of Hawley, Minn., who was debuting his brand new car, got upside down in turn two bringing out the red flag.

McDougall was okay, but he was done for the night.

Robertson had a mid-race challenge from Horace, N.D. driver Rick Schulz. Schulz pulled even with Robertson using the middle groove of the speedway, while Robertson remained true to the low side.

The bottom groove paid off for Robertson as he pulled away from Schulz and cruised to the win.

Sixth place starter Sean Johnson of Kindred, N.D. charged to the INEX legend feature win. After a three-wide battle for the lead with Tye Wilke of Detroit Lakes, Minn. and Ryan Braseth of Ulen, Minn., Johnson moved into the second spot before pouncing on Wilke to take the lead.

The win for Johnson was the seventh of his career at the speedway.

The defending IMCA Hobby Stock national champion, Cory Probst of Brewster, Minn., came to Red River Valley Speedway to begin his title defense and he left West Fargo with the victory. Brewster started ninth on the grid, but worked his way into the top three by lap two. At the halfway point, Brewster worked around leader Tanner Engen of Detroit Lakes to take the point. Once out front, he never looked back.

WEST FARGO – The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will return to Red River Valley Speedway in 2021 for the Red River Rumble. The event scheduled for Saturday, August 21st will mark the fifth consecutive year and the 35th-time overall dirt track racing’s premier touring series will visit the West Fargo high-banked three-eighths-mile clay oval.

NASCAR star Kyle Larson picked up the World of Outlaws win at the speedway last summer. Larson out-dueled eventual series champion Brad Sweet for the $10,000 victory.

The win for Larson was one of 43 total victories across seven different dirt car divisions for the Elk Grove, California native this season. Larson also won at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks with a last-lap pass for the win.

Tickets are available at slspromotions.com.

2020 was the 50th season of racing at the speedway and fifth-year track promoters Nick Skalicky and Jake and Sharnel Bitker kept the track in the national spotlight all year long.
