The greatest Sprint Car drivers in the world are headed to Belle Clair Fairgrounds.
Belle Clair Fairgrounds Park Speedway is proud to announce the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will make its highly anticipated debut at the Belleville, IL facility on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, for the final Midwest event of the 2026 season.
The historic event will take place on the speedway’s brand-new, state-of-the-art 1/4-mile dirt oval, which opened earlier this year and quickly established itself as one of the most exciting new venues in grassroots motorsports. The event will be known as the World of Outlaws Battle at Belle Clair.
For promoter Chris Blair of WM Marketing, bringing the World of Outlaws to Belle Clair Fairgrounds Park Speedway represents the fulfillment of a long-term vision.
“When building this venue, one of the goals and objectives was to host the greatest Sprint Car drivers in the world, and that means the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars,” said Blair. “This track will be perfect for that Series and will provide fans with non-stop action throughout the night.”
Blair is no stranger to the World of Outlaws, having promoted numerous events featuring the Series during his tenure at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where he helped produce some of the most memorable Sprint Car races in the sport.
The October 17 event is expected to attract a capacity crowd as fans from across the Midwest gather to witness the sport’s premier Sprint Car series compete on the track for the first time. The combination of the compact 1/4-mile layout and the elite talent of the World of Outlaws is expected to create an action-packed evening featuring side-by-side racing, constant traffic, and thrilling competition from start to finish.
