World of Outlaws, Xtreme Outlaw tours joining for Ohio doubleheader at Atomic Speedway
CHILLICOTHE – Ohio race fans will be treated to a doubleheader weekend at Atomic Speedway with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota in May. For the first time, the two national series will run together at the 3/8-mile Chillicothe, track on Friday-Saturday, May 24-25.
It'll mark the end of the World of Outlaws' spring Ohio swing and the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series' first stop in Ohio this season.
The iconic Ohio track has produced some of the most exciting races in World of Outlaws history and has seen four different winners in the last four Series races there – including Ohio's Sheldon Haudenschild in 2022. Last year, Jade Avedisian scored the win with the Xtreme Outlaw Midgets at Atomic – one of five victories she picked up en route to her becoming the first woman to win a national dirt racing title.
