The World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series wheels its way to Wheel, Tennessee for a sixth visit to the bowl-shaped high banks of Duck River Raceway. The main event of the night will be a fifty lap feature that pays $10,000 to win. Series champion Brandon Sheppard won the last WoO Late Model race at Duck River.

Sheppard is the current series point leader thanks to one win, three second-place finishes, and a total of seven top tens in seven starts in Florida and New Mexico. He leads Darrell Lanigan, Ricky Weiss, Scott Bloomquist and Chris Madden.
