MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (October 22, 2024) - Like many of the nation’s finest open wheel competitors, Mitchellville, Iowa’s TKS Motorsports will also be making the season-ending trek to North Carolina, joining the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series for the annual World of Outlaws World Finals on Wednesday through Saturday, November 6-9. Cory Eliason, a Visalia, California, native who coming off of a full season with High Limit Racing aboard Brian and Lisa Ridge’s RSR No. 8, will join TKS Motorsports for the four-day showcase, working together to cap the season with a top notch performance in the Tar Heel State.
“We’re excited to have Cory [Eliason] join us in Charlotte. He’s a talented race car driver with a lot of knowledge and I think he can bring a lot to the table so we’re ready to see what we can do,” Troy Renfro, owner of the TKS Motorsports | Iowa Barnstormers No. 2KS sprint car, said. “Charlotte is the place everyone wants to be so we’re ready to throw our hats in the ring and be a part of the hype.”
TKS Motorsports will roll into the World of Outlaws World Finals fresh off of a two-day start with the Greatest Show On Dirt at the Dirt Oval @ Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois, on Friday and Saturday, October 18-19. Florida’s own Danny Sams was behind the wheel, closing out the Route 66 Showdown with a pair of A-Main starts and a 16th-place highlight.
“We want to thank Danny Sams for stepping in and joining us for two days at Route 66,” Renfro added. “We had some additional starts planned before that trip, but some outside factors kept us from having the opportunity to travel. Regardless, he did a great job.”
