TV Schedule: Here

Around the World in Motorsports: May 24

- The World of Outlaws CASE Construction Late Model Series made a series of schedule changes Tuesday. A two-night weekend at Orange County Fair Speedway in New York, in addition to races at Route 66 Raceway in Illinois and Gondik Law Speedway in Wisconsin have been cancelled. In addition, the Hawkeye 100 at Boone Speedway has been pushed back to July 25 in order to match it up with the nearby Prairie Dirt Classic. Reasoning for the moves involves the ongoing tire shortage issues and fuel prices.

- The Short Track Super Series traveled to New Egypt Speedway for the Dirty Jersey 8 Tuesday night. Here, Matt Sheppard ran down Matt Stangle in lapped traffic and took the lead on lap 15. From there, he led the rest of the way to take the victory. Stangle finished second, followed by Ryan Godown, Danny Bouc and Jeff Strunk.
