One driver could leave the week $40,000 richer with Port Royal paying $10,000-to-win and the doubleheader at Williams Grove paying $10,000-to-win on Friday and $20,000-to-win on Saturday.The race at Port Royal will also be a milestone event as it’ll be the first time since the half-mile track’s Series debut in 1979 that it will host a July World of Outlaws race.WORLD OF OUTLAWS @ PORT ROYAL – Wednesday, July 20 Track: Port Royal Speedway To Win: $10,000 Location: Port Royal, PA Track Record: 14.866 sec. set by Brian Brown on 10/18/18 Last Winner: Spencer BaystonTickets: https://bit.ly/3xXfdYFNotables: The last time the World of Outlaws visited Port Royal Speedway, Spencer Bayston, driving for Pennsylvania-based CJB Motorsports, brought everyone in the house to their feet with a dominating victory. It was his second career Series win and his first with CJB in just his fourth start with the team. The Lebanon, IN driver has already proven this season he’ll be a threat to defend that win, having already picked up two victories, including one at the half-mile Bristol Motor Speedway.Ten-time Series champion Donny Schatz, driver of the #15 Sprint Car for Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, has the most Series wins of all drivers at Port Royal with four. His last win at the track was in 2019. Since 2019, Anthony Macri, of Dillsburg, PA, has established himself as king of Port Royal, picking up 19 wins in total at the track. However, he’s yet to win there against the World of Outlaws. If he can pull off a win this year, it would be his first Series win overall.CHAMPION RACING OIL SUMMER NATIONALS @ WILLIAMS GROVE – Friday-Saturday, July 22-23 Track: Williams Grove Speedway To Win: $10,000 (Friday) / $20,000 (Saturday) Location: Mechanicsburg, PA Track Record: 16.111 sec. set by Shane Stewart on 10/2/20 2021 Winner: Brent MarksTickets: https://bit.ly/3OpDNZnNotables: Brent Marks, of Myerstown, PA, holds two significant win records entering this year’s Champion Racing Oil Summer Nationals.
