Mineral Wells, WV – The long-awaited return of the World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision to West Virginia Motor Speedway is on the way!

Fans can expect two nights of three-wide racing action on the Mountain State’s biggest stage, with the nation’s stars of the World of Outlaws Late Models battling it out for high paydays and championship glory. Friday night, June 12th, kicks off with a complete $12,000-to-win program, setting the tone for Saturday night’s high-stakes finale. The action crescendos on Saturday, June 13th, as the spotlight shines on the Super Late Models $30,000-to-win RACEFEST Championship, one of the region’s richest races.

The redesign and shortening of the facility to its new 3/8-mile configuration played a pivotal role in attracting the World of Outlaws back to West Virginia Motor Speedway. The move has transformed WVMS into a premier short-track destination, creating the perfect setting for the Outlaws’ high-intensity racing product.

The 2026 RACEFEST Summer Championship promises to be one of the most anticipated events on the national dirt late model calendar, as fans from across the region and beyond flock to Mineral Wells to witness the World of Outlaws’ first WVMS appearance in over a decade.

The 10th running of “RACEFEST” will usher in another iconic chapter of track history, featuring the all new #ACTIONERA with the short track at West Virginia Motor Speedway. Past winners of the event include; 2002 Steve Lucas, 2003 Scott Bloomquist, 2004 Jackie Boggs, 2005 Earl Pearson Jr., 2006 Scott Bloomquist, 2007 Jimmy Owens, 2010 Steve Shaver, 2013 Josh Richards, & 2021 Devin Moran.

“We are beyond excited to welcome the World of Outlaws back to West Virginia Motor Speedway,” said track owner, Mike Hurley. “Our goal with WVMS is to create one of the premier destinations in all of dirt racing. We look forward to achieving this with high profile events and series like the World of Outlaws. Two huge nights, big payouts, and the best drivers in the country… it doesn’t get any better than that.”
