The Wheel Races, situated to the north of Ergel's Bar on the planet Jakku, represented a specific competition that occurred following the Battle of Endor. During a conversation between the traveler Corwin Ballast and Ergel, the bartender, regarding employment opportunities on Jakku, the Wheel Races were brought up by him as a possible avenue for work.
The Wheel Races initially appeared within the pages of the novel Aftermath, authored by Chuck Wendig and made available to the public in 2015.
