The World of Outlaws announced its 2026 schedule includes a four-race West Coast Swing in California in September, and the series said tickets for the stretch will go on sale soon. The season opens Feb. 4–7 at Volusia Speedway Park’s Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals.

The West Coast Swing opens with the fifth running of the Dennis Roth Classic, moved to Stockton Dirt Track for Sept. 18–19 as a doubleheader that will pay $83,000 to the winner; David Gravel was the 2025 Roth Classic winner. That Stockton doubleheader follows a Kansas–Colorado weekend that begins Sept. 11 at Belleville High Banks, continues Sept. 12 at Dodge City Raceway Park and includes a Monday stop at El Paso County Raceway on Sept. 14.

After Stockton the tour visits Bakersfield Speedway (Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway) on Sept. 25 — the series’ second-ever appearance there; Michael “Buddy” Kofoid won the prior World of Outlaws show at Bakersfield. The swing concludes with a debut at Ventura Raceway on Sept. 26, adding a Southern California stop; the series has raced in California since 1978.

Following the California dates the tour makes the long haul east to Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, for the 64th National Open, a $75,000 event that will pit the World of Outlaws against the Pennsylvania Posse and quickly transitions the tour back to its marquee East Coast events.
