The 2018 World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series was the 40th season of the winged sprint car series sanctioned by World Racing Group, competing throughout the United States. The season began with the DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park on February 9, and ended with the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte on November 3. Donny Schatz defended his 2017 championship by winning his tenth title in 2018.
The 2018 season was the first to feature live video broadcast of every event available via pay-per-view on DIRTvision.
The season was marred by the death of Jason Johnson, following the race at Beaver Dam Raceway on June 23.
