SCHEDULE
Series president Jim Wilson said additional races will be added later
GILMAN CITY, MO (Feb. 19, 2009) - The WORLD Dirt Racing League, a
Midwest-based dirt Late Model touring series, has released its tentative
2009 schedule.
"We are excited about the 2009 season, and though the schedule is a partial
one," we wanted to publicize it as soon as possible, said WDRL president Jim
Wilson, who with his wife Nancy founded the popular racing series in 2002.
Additional race dates will be added later, Wilson noted, resulting in some
"to be announced" track locations on the schedule.
"We've never put TBAs on our schedule before," Wilson said, "but we are
working with several more race tracks about scheduling races this season,
and wanted to let everyone know that there will be more races added before
long."
Bob Wagener will promote the WDRL season opener on Saturday, April 4, at
Davenport (Iowa) Speedway. That will also be the first race of the season
for the historic half-mile.
Quad City Raceway in East Moline, Ill., is up next for the touring stars and
cars. On Sunday, April 19, Brian Stuart is promoting a 50-lap WDRL race on
the fast and exciting quarter-mile oval there.

in Nebraska for the annual Alphabet Soup race.
Then, in June, WDRL drivers will make a stop at the beautiful North Central
