Prairie Dirt Classic, USA Nationals 2026 Dates Set With World of Outlaws
The most prestigious stretch of marquee events in Late Model racing returns to the World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision schedule in 2026.
Fairbury Speedway’s Prairie Dirt Classic and Cedar Lake Speedway’s USA Nationals will again be on back-to-back weekends with the 36th running of the Prairie Dirt Classic on Friday-Saturday, July 24-25, and the 39th annual USA Nationals on Thursday-Saturday, July 30-Aug. 1.
Both races will again boast two of the biggest purses of the season, with the Prairie Dirt Classic paying $50,000 to win – plus bonuses for laps led – and USA Nationals again paying a Series-high $100,000 to win.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with two of the most incredible events on the Late Model calendar, two crown jewel events that are very important to not only the World of Outlaws and World Racing Group, but all of the racing community,” said Brian Carter, World of Outlaws CEO. “We’re very proud to be a part of them again as we look forward to the future.”
Illinois’ Brian Shirley brought all of Fairbury to its feet with his emotional first PDC win this year. And another electric Victory Lane celebration awaits as the 2025 USA Nationals champion will be crowned on Saturday, Aug. 2. For tickets to this year’s USA Nationals, click here.
