“Charlotte is one of those destinations that everyone wants to be at,” said World of Outlaws CEO Brian Carter. “Whether that’s competing in or watching the best short-track racing in the world. These two marquee events will wrap up the 2017 season. With over 300-plus race cars on hand at the first annual World Short Track Championship, we’ve created an event that builds up the buzz for the season finale with the World Finals the following week.”
