Bobby Pierce (+219)
Bobby Pierce starts the Great Lake Showdown as the in-form driver in the field, registering six podiums in his last eight races. Three of those podiums saw the series leader enter Victory Lane, and he now enjoys a 76-point buffer over Nick Hoffman in the standings. “The Smooth Operator” finished 10th in Conneaut last year, making up six spots, after starting in 16th.
Nick Hoffman (+333)
North Carolinian Nick Hoffman has a spring in his step as he enters Raceway 7, fresh off his maiden victory in the campaign. “The Thrill from Mooresville” is coming into form, registering consecutive podiums in his last two starts, taking his tally to four this season. Hoffman remains the nearest challenger to Pierce this term, 76 points shy of the leader.
Ryan Gustin (+596)
Ryan Gustin endured a tough run at the Illini 100 and the Talladega Short Track, falling outside of the top 10 in every race. It tarnished an otherwise impressive portfolio this season that has seen the Iowan stand on the podium three times, twice as a winner. Gustin bagged two top 10s at the Mississippi Thunder Speedway, taking his finishing average up to 8.77.

Tim McCreadie (+1190)
The last three races have led to Tim McCreadie’s longest top 10 run in the series, and he starts the Great Lake Showdown off the back of two top fives that leave him in fifth position in the series. McCreadie enjoyed his best return of the season on day two of the Dairyland Showdown.
Brian Shirley (+1642)
Erratic is the best word to describe Brian Shirley in 2025, crossing the line outside of the top 10 in 69% of his races this year. He seems to be on the mend, picking up three top fives in his previous five appearances, including a third-place finish on the first day of the Illini 100.
Cody Overton (+2032)
Cody Overton starts in Conneaut as a consistently average performer this year, finishing outside of the top 10 in nine races. We expected to see him challenge the leaders after a third-place return in the season opener, but he has found himself battling in the midfield. Despite his struggles, Overton holds on for seventh place in the series.
Expert Pick
The consistent dominance of Bobby Pierce in this series makes him an easy expert pick for the Great Lake Showdown. Bobby has prevailed in three of his last eight races, only finishing off the podium twice in that period. He takes to the track with +219 odds, offering a potential payout of $63.80 for a $20 stake.

Logan Schuchart snapped a 64-race winless streak at Eldora Speedway, dedicating the victory to his grandfather and Shark Racing leader Bobby Allen. The win was Schuchart’s first World of Outlaws victory of the season and came in a feature he beat Brady Bacon. One report listed his car as the No. 1a. Another listed it as the No. 1S.
The stop at Eldora was the World of Outlaws tour’s first visit to the track since Allen’s fall death. Allen had a long association with Eldora, including winning the inaugural World of Outlaws race there in 1978.
The result marked a turnaround for Shark Racing after five finishes outside the top 10 in the team’s previous six starts. Schuchart finished fifth at Eldora the previous night and called the half-mile dirt oval his “sanctuary.” Eldora has been a career stronghold for him, highlighted by his million-dollar sprint car win at the track in 2023. Schuchart said the victory provided valuable setup notes as Shark Racing shifts focus toward the Kings Royal at Eldora on July 17-18, and the win should give the team momentum as the World of Outlaws tour continues at Jacksonville Speedway on May 21, Knoxville Raceway on May 23 and Huset’s Speedway on May 24.
The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will return from its Easter break to I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park in Pevely, Missouri, for the Federated Auto Parts Spring Classic on April 10-11. The stop begins a stretch of 12 consecutive weekends of World of Outlaws competition.
I-55 is a high-banked, one-third-mile bullring that sources describe as producing blistering early laps, commonly in the 10- to sub-11-second range. The surface slicks off and widens later in a program, enabling big slide jobs and crossovers.
Reports differ on I-55’s all-time World of Outlaws appearances. One source says the track is tied with Silver Dollar Speedway at 79 races and would take sole possession during the upcoming weekend. Another source says I-55 already holds sole possession with 79 races.
Fan programming for the Spring Classic includes a drivers’ autograph session on the midway, a Saturday meet-and-greet with comedian Jerry Wayne Longmire at the World of Outlaws merchandise trailer, and midway interviews hosted by Wes Irwin that will feature Longmire alongside drivers Carson Macedo and Donny Schatz. The weekend pairs high-speed on-track action with multiple fan engagement opportunities tied to the series and its sponsors.
Kasey Kahne opened the HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup weekend at Williams Grove Speedway with his first World of Outlaws victory, driving the No. 39M for Macri Motorsports as a fill-in for the injured Anthony Macri. Kahne reached Victory Lane 10,364 days after his World of Outlaws debut on Aug. 22, 1997, becoming the 156th different World of Outlaws winner and the third driver from Washington to win in the series. Friday was only the third night Kahne and Macri Motorsports had raced together; Kahne fended off an early charge from David Gravel and defeated Sheldon Haudenschild in a late duel to take the checkered flag. Gravel finished third, Chase Dietz fourth and Troy Wagaman Jr. fifth. The win was Macri Motorsports’ 10th World of Outlaws triumph and the team’s first series victory with a driver other than Anthony Macri. Gravel’s third-place finish slightly increased his points lead over Carson Macedo.
David Gravel won the 30-lap Morgan Cup finale, passing polesitter Kahne on the opening lap and leading green-to-checkered to claim the $20,000 winner’s prize. The victory was Gravel’s 125th World of Outlaws series win and his 10th career victory at Williams Grove. Justin Whittall finished second for his best World of Outlaws result, Troy Wagaman Jr. was third, Sheldon Haudenschild fourth and Kahne fifth. Gravel credited morning rain for creating high-track grip that helped the race run uninterrupted. The result wrested the Morgan Cup trophy from the Pennsylvania Posse and gave Big Game Motorsports its fifth victory this season, tying the team with Michael “Buddy” Kofoid and Roth Motorsports for the season lead. The weekend reinforced Gravel’s momentum in the championship battle and tightened the season points race among the top teams.
The World of Outlaws Late Model Series closes its March Southern swing with consecutive stops at East Alabama Motor Speedway on March 27 and Senoia Raceway’s Billy Clanton Classic on March 28. East Alabama is hosting its first World of Outlaws Late Model Series race since 2006 and will pay $12,000 to the winner; the Billy Clanton Classic at Senoia will pay $20,000. Support classes for the weekend include Hobby Stocks, Road Warriors, 602 Late Models and 602 Chargers.
Track-specific storylines include Tyler Erb, who was runner-up in his East Alabama debut in 2019 and again in 2022 and who won the National 100 at East Alabama in 2024 and 2025. Dennis Erb Jr. also has strong National 100 credentials at East Alabama, including a 2016 victory and 11 top-five finishes. At Senoia, Ashton Winger has World of Outlaws wins in 2021 and 2025 and has compiled 11 Super Late Model victories at the facility.
The championship battle and recent driver form are central heading into the weekend. After 12 races this season, Bobby Pierce and Nick Hoffman sit atop the standings separated by 14 points. Pierce is averaging a 3.58 finish, with a 10.75 average starting position, 86 feature positions gained and 61 laps led. Hoffman is averaging a 3.75 finish, with a 5.67 average starting position and 140 laps led. Dennis Erb Jr. rebuilt two wrecked cars after incidents at Volunteer and Smoky Mountain (rebuilt at Rocket Chassis), arrived late to Magnolia, then won a heat and finished seventh in the feature.
Looking beyond March, the series packs four state stops into three weeks in April. The Illini 100 at Farmer City Raceway runs April 10–11; Farmer City first hosted a World of Outlaws race in 2006 (won by Billy Moyer), moved to an April date in 2007, and produced a memorable finish between Hoffman and Pierce in 2024 as well as first-time Outlaws winners Mike Spatola (2021) and Ethan Dotson (2025). The Alabama Gang 100 at Talladega Short Track runs April 24–25 as a two-night event with a $12,000-to-win opener and a $25,000-to-win Saturday finale staged after the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race; Brandon Overton won the inaugural running in 2023 and Pierce won when the event returned in 2025. The Independence Late Model Showdown returns April 28 to Independence Motor Speedway’s 3/8-mile oval; recent winners there include Josh Richards, Darrell Lanigan, Brandon Sheppard and Bobby Pierce. The sixth-annual Dairyland Showdown at Mississippi Thunder Speedway runs April 30–May 2 with $10,000 preliminary-night purses and a $40,000-to-win main event following facility investments by the Timm family and promoter Tyrone Lingenfelter.
