Modoc Speedway debut
John Henderson welcomes the World of Outlaws Late Model Series debut at Modoc Speedway, a track that sits just north of his hometown of North Augusta, South Carolina, and carries real history for him. Henderson said dirt racing started for him at Modoc, and the return of major racing there gives the weekend extra meaning for the owner of ASD Motorsports. He has seen the old version of the track and the rebuilt facility, and he says the new version is a major upgrade. That matters to him because he expects the renovated surface to produce strong racing when the revived Modoc 100 brings the series back to the track. For Henderson, this is more than a stop on the schedule. It is a return to the place that helped shape his path in the sport.
Henderson’s connection to Modoc runs deeper than a hometown tie. He raced there earlier in his career in Crate and FASTRAK events, and he shared the track with Jonathan Davenport and Brandon Overton. That kind of history gives the weekend a layered feel for Henderson. He is not arriving at a new venue with no frame of reference. He is coming back to a track he knows, a place where he learned, raced and measured himself against strong competition before he owned a team of his own. The series debut adds another level to that personal history, and Henderson believes the rebuilt track sets the stage for good competition from the start.
ASD Motorsports standing
ASD Motorsports enters the final five races of the season sixth in the World of Outlaws standings, a position that keeps the team in the thick of the championship picture while still leaving room to climb. Henderson owns the outfit, and he wants the group to finish strong at home while also building toward the future. That makes the stretch run at Modoc important beyond the track itself. The team has a chance to protect its place in the standings, keep momentum moving in the right direction and make the most of a weekend that carries local meaning for its owner. In a sport where late-season form can shape the tone for the next year, every solid run matters, and Henderson wants ASD Motorsports to use the remaining races to keep tightening its program.
Ethan Dotson drives the No. 2X for ASD Motorsports, giving the team a steady presence as the season moves into its closing weeks. With the standings still active and the pressure of the final races starting to build, the No. 2X gives Henderson a clear focus on what the team can control. Clean weekends, competitive runs and strong execution all matter now. The climb does not depend on one race alone, but a good showing at Modoc would fit the kind of finish Henderson wants. He is looking at the home-track setting and the team’s position in the standings at the same time, which makes the weekend both personal and practical. ASD Motorsports can lean into the familiarity of Modoc and try to turn that comfort into results that hold up in the points race.
Henderson’s home-track return
The weekend gives Henderson and ASD Motorsports a chance to connect the team’s present form with its past. That combination of memory and expectation makes Modoc stand out in the schedule, familiar to Henderson while also feeling new because of the work done to rebuild it.
That balance matters for a team trying to finish the year with purpose. Henderson wants ASD Motorsports to leave the weekend with more than a result on paper. He wants it to reflect the progress the organization has made and to reinforce the direction he sees for the future. Racing at home gives that goal extra weight. It ties the current season to the place where his own dirt racing began and to a track that now gets another shot with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. For Henderson, the setting carries history. The standings bring urgency. The rebuilt track brings optimism. All of it comes together in a weekend that puts ASD Motorsports in front of a familiar challenge, with the season winding down and the next step always in view.
