Inside Line Promotions – MINOT, N.D. (June 20, 2018) – Greg Wilson is excited for the opportunity to compete this weekend with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.
Wilson and his Hercules Tires, DNC Hydraulics, Ohio Logistics and Gear Alloy Wheels backed team will make their debut at Farley Speedway in Farley, Iowa, on Friday before venturing to Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, Wis., for the Jim “JB” Boyd Memorial presented by Karavan Trailers on Saturday.
“It will be fun going to a track that is new for pretty much everyone,” he said of Farley Speedway. “I think it’s been about 25 years since the World of Outlaws have raced there so everyone is entering that race with the same level of knowledge. We will all have to go in there and adapt on the fly.”
Wilson posted a career-best fourth-place finish at Beaver Dam Raceway last season.
“We had a really solid night from start to finish there last year,” he said. “It’s a confidence boost returning to a track where you had such a good result the last time out.”
Wilson is coming off a strong performance with the World of Outlaws last Friday at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, N.D., during the Northern Tour. After garnering the final transfer position into the main event, Wilson charged from 24th to a 14th-place result in the feature. It was the third-most cars passed.
“We were able to get rolling really well on the bottom,” he said. “Whenever guys would slip up or would try to run the top we were right there. It was a good finish to the night.”
The weekend concluded on Sunday at Nodak Speedway, where Wilson posted an 18th-place finish during the Magic City Showdown.
