With weather models showing thunderstorms and rainfall throughout the week and into the weekend in the Spring Valley, MN area, creating unfavorable conditions for racing at Deer Creek Speedway, World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision and track officials have agreed to cancel the NAPA Auto Parts Gopher 50.

The decision was made keeping the best interests of traveling drivers and fans in mind, allowing them to make new plans for the special holiday weekend which honors America’s 250th birthday.

There is no reschedule date as a new suitable date could not be found, but the World of Outlaws is already making plans to return to Deer Creek Speedway for the Gopher 50 in 2027.

If you purchased a ticket in advance for the Gopher 50, you will receive a face-value credit to your MyDirtTickets.com account – good for two years – to be used toward any World of Outlaws event available at WorldofOutlaws.com/tix. If a credit to your account does not work for you, then you have until July 30 to request a refund.

Camping refunds will be available through July 31; after that, your reservation will be confirmed for the 2027 Gopher 50 with a date to be announced. For camping refunds, please call the campground office at 507-346-2342.

The World of Outlaws Late ModelSeries now turns its attention to another full week of racing with the Rick Briggs Memorial powered by Dave Warren Powersports at Stateline Speedway on Wednesday, July 8, and the World of Outlaws Battle at the Border at Sharon Speedway on Friday-Saturday, July 10-11. Gates will open at 4 p.m. (ET) at Stateline and 5 p.m. at Sharon. For tickets to those events, click here.
