Aaron Reutzel of Clute, Texas won the 40-lap John Bores 20th Anniversary Celebration at Attica, rallying from fifth to take the $20,000 winner’s check and complete a $50,000 week. Using the high side and working lapped traffic, he cleared Tanner Thorson with four laps remaining to take the lead. It was Reutzel’s third career win at Attica; he pledged $1,000 of his winnings to Texas Children’s Hospital, called the race a blast, and remained the High Limit point leader.
Aiden Price led the opening 19 laps, and Justin Peck led laps 20 and 21. Price and Tanner Thorson swapped the point midrace before Thorson and others ceded the lead late.
Thorson finished second, Logan Schuchart third, Tyler Courtney fourth and Price fifth.
The World of Outlaws Late Model Series is set for a three-race stretch as it heads back toward the East Coast after two busy weeks in the upper Midwest. The run begins Wednesday, July 8, at Stateline Speedway in Busti, New York, where the Rick Briggs Memorial powered by Dave Warren Powersports will be a 40-lap feature paying $15,000 to win. DIRTcar UMP Modifieds and Pro Stocks are also on the card. Teams then have Thursday off before the series resumes at Sharon Speedway for the annual Battle at the Border on Friday and Saturday, July 10-11. Sharon’s opener is a 40-lap race paying $12,000 to win, and the Saturday finale is a 60-lap race with a $20,000 top prize. UMP Modifieds are also scheduled at Sharon.
Bobby Pierce enters the week as the headline driver and is trying to win his seventh straight World of Outlaws race, which would break the series record of six consecutive victories. He also carries a 76-point lead in the championship standings. Pierce’s run comes as the series works through a demanding eastern swing that mixes short travel with two major events in New York and Pennsylvania.
Nick Hoffman returns to Stateline Speedway, where he earned his first World of Outlaws win last year. Trey Mills and Daulton Wilson are set for their first starts at both Stateline and Sharon, while Logan Zarin is coming off a career-best sixth-place finish and will compete on two tracks he knows well.
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.
The World of Outlaws North Dakota swing will open Friday, May 29 at Grand Forks’ River Cities Speedway and will continue after an off day at Minot’s Nodak Speedway. The two-race stretch will serve as an early-season test in the championship battle.
David Gravel tops the standings as he pursues a third straight series title, holding a 118-point lead and a 4.96 average finish this season. Michael “Buddy” Kofoid has the most wins this season, with six, and he is tied with Carson Macedo for second in the standings.
River Cities will host the World of Outlaws for the 36th time since 2007, and Nodak returns to the schedule after an eight-year absence; Nodak previously hosted 13 World of Outlaws events.
Donny Schatz, a Fargo native and 10-time series champion, has an extensive River Cities résumé: 12 wins in 35 starts, 24 podiums, 31 top-five finishes and a 2.94 average finish. He also owns five straight Nodak victories dating to 2012. Gravel is one of only two full-time drivers with wins at both River Cities and Nodak.
Kofoid’s recent form includes a River Cities sweep in 2025 and a dramatic charge from seventh to victory at Huset’s this season. Sheldon Haudenschild, now with KCP Racing, has shown speed at River Cities—he has led seven Features there—but remains winless at the track despite multiple podiums and several lost opportunities. Local NOSA competitors Amelia Eisenschenk, Laela Eisenschenk, Mark Dobmeier and Jade Hastings are also names to watch during the North Dakota swing.
