WoO races are conducted in a series of qualifying heats that ultimately decide who is going to run the A-Main Event, or Money Race. The heat races have a reputation of being just as, or more exciting than the A-Main due to the sheer number of racers that want to be in the top spots in order to advance.
The WoO signature event is Knoxville Nationals in Knoxville, IA in mid-August. Steve Kinzer, the "King of Outlaws", is on pace to win his 19th series championship in 2004. And about half of the 2004 races will be broadcast on the Outdoor Channel.
