A battle of epic proportions is ready to rumble on the banks of the Mississippi River as the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models return to Davenport Speedway, Aug. 25-27, for the Quad Cities 150 presented by Hoker Trucking.
The three-night spectacular kicks on with a pair of 40-lap, $10,000-to-win Features, Thursday, Aug. 25. and Friday, Aug. 26.
Drivers will battle in an “Every Lap Matters” format, meaning the results of Thursday and Friday’s events will set the Heat Race lineups on Saturday, Aug. 27, when The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet wage war for $30,000 in a 70-lap finale.
IMCA Modifieds will join the World of Outlaws CASE Late Models on Thursday, before the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota join the Series on Aug. 26–27.
The close-quartered racing isn’t the only action fans who attend the Quad Cities 150 will see, as several off-track activities are going on throughout the weekend.
The track will host a truck show, racing simulator, live music and a Toys for Tots charity drive on the speedway grounds each day. A cruise-in car show and cornhole tournament are also part of Saturday’s fun.
Fans can meet their favorite drivers from the World of Outlaws CASE Late Models and Xtreme Outlaws Midgets in an autograph session at 4pm on Saturday.

Here are the top storylines this weekend:Â Â
15 TO GO: When the World of Outlaws CASE Late Models visit Davenport Speedway this weekend, only 15 races remain in the chase for the 2022 Series championship.=
Dennis Erb Jr., of Carpentersville, IL, leads Tanner English by 164 points entering the Quad Cities 150 and hopes to move closer to his first title.
While Erb has yet to win at the 1/4-mile Davenport Speedway facility, he has had success on bullring tracks this year. He’s scored three podiums in five races on 1/4-miles, including a win at Marion Center Raceway.
He finished 10th in the Quad Cities 150 70-lap finale last year.
 THE ROOKIE PLOT THICKENS: The final 15 races are just as crucial for Tanner English and Max Blair, who continue to go toe-to-toe for 2022 Rookie of the Year honors.
English enters the weekend with a 26-point lead over Blair and has fared better at 1/4-mile tracks this season. The Benton, KY driver has three top fives and four top 10s in five races on the small tracks.
However, despite not having a top-five finish at a 1/4-mile track with the Series this season, Blair may have an advantage at Davenport. The Centerville, PA driver scored a fourth-place finish in a non-Series event last month. Â
HAWKEYE PRIDE: A driver building momentum entering this weekend’s Quad Cities 150 is Marshalltown, IA driver Ryan Gustin.
The “Reaper” leads a hungry group of competitors from the Hawkeye State after scoring back-to-back podiums last weekend.
However, like Erb, Gustin struggled at last year’s event, finishing outside the top 10 on all three nights.
Tyler Bruening, the 2021 World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year from Decorah, IA, is projected to join Gustin this weekend. Bruening has two top fives in the three World of Outlaws races he’s entered on 1/4-mile tracks this season.
Another Iowa driver with success at Davenport is Oxford, IA campaigner Chris Simpson. He scored a DIRTcar Summer Nationals victory at the track earlier this year and was recently the Fox Factory Hard Charger in Fairbury Speedway’s Prairie Dirt Classic.
MAILMAN MOMENTUM: Last year’s Quad Cities 150 winner Devin Moran will be back this weekend to try and take home the $30,000 prize for the second consecutive year.
Moran, from Dresden, OH, won two of the three races in last year’s event and is coming off a World of Outlaws CASE Late Model win last weekend at Sharon Speedway.
A win for “The Mailman” would be his 10th career Series triumph.
BOOMIN’ ON THE RIVER: One driver looking forward to the World of Outlaws CASE Late Models return to Davenport is Bear Lake, PA driver Boom Briggs.
The veteran driver finished third in last year’s 70-lap finale.
He added a ninth and 14th in the other two Quad Cities 150 Features  at Davenport in 2021 and is searching for his first career Series victory.
Briggs hopes to build momentum after a top 10 finish last weekend at Sharon.
OFF THE LEASH: Shane Clanton has proven he has the winning formula with the World of Outlaws CASE Late Models, no matter what track they race on.
Clanton, from Zebulon, GA, already has a victory on a 1/4-mile this season after holding off Dennis Erb Jr. at River Cities Speedway.
He also has momentum with back-to-back podiums last weekend, including a win at Williams Grove and a third at Sharon.
The “Georgia Bulldog’s” next Series triumph would be the 49th of his career, meaning between the three races Clanton would reach a 50-win milestone.
