Story By: NICK GRAZIANO / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – DAVENPORT, IA – Continuing to grow into one of the biggest marquee events of the year, the My Place Hotels Quad Cities 150 presented by Hoker Trucking at Davenport Speedway returns Aug. 26-28.
The event is set to boast a $214,000 overall purse for the World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models, paying $10,000 to win Thursday and Friday, and then a substantial $30,000 for Saturday’s main event.
