Bobby Pierce
The World of Outlaws Late Model Series heads back east this week with Bobby Pierce chasing a piece of history. The series starts a three-race swing Wednesday at Stateline Speedway in Busti, New York, and Pierce enters the stretch trying to win his seventh straight World of Outlaws race. A seventh straight victory would break the series record of six in a row. Pierce also carries a 76-point lead in the title race, which gives him a strong hold as the tour turns from the upper Midwest to the East Coast. The schedule puts the spotlight on one of the most consistent drivers in the series and gives him a chance to keep a rare run going against a field that includes several drivers with something extra to prove on tracks they know well and tracks they are seeing for the first time.
Stateline Speedway
Stateline Speedway opens the swing with the Rick Briggs Memorial powered by Dave Warren Powersports, a 40-lap main event that pays $15,000 to win. DIRTcar UMP Modifieds and Pro Stocks also fill out the card, giving the Busti track a full night of racing before the series shifts south and east again later in the week. The event starts a busy return to the region after two weeks in the upper Midwest, and the format puts an early premium on track position and race pace. Every lap matters in a shorter feature, and the winner’s share gives the opener real weight in the overall swing. Stateline also brings back one of the week’s key storylines in Nick Hoffman, who returns to the track where he earned his first World of Outlaws win last year. That makes the opener more than just the first stop on the schedule. It gives one contender a shot to revisit a place where he already broke through and another chance to extend a streak that has already become the central storyline of the week.
Sharon Speedway
Teams get Thursday off before the action resumes at Sharon Speedway for the annual Battle at the Border on Friday and Saturday. Friday’s main event is a 40-lap race with $12,000 to the winner, and Saturday closes the weekend with a 60-lap feature and a $20,000 top prize. Sharon’s program also includes UMP Modifieds, which adds more racing to a weekend that already carries a lot of weight for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. The event gives Pierce another chance to keep his run alive, but it also gives several drivers a familiar and unfamiliar mix of opportunities. Trey Mills and Daulton Wilson are set for their first starts at both Stateline and Sharon, which puts them in a difficult spot against drivers who know the swing better. Logan Zarin comes in off a career-best sixth-place finish and will race at two tracks he knows well, a useful combination as the series settles into the middle of the eastern stretch. The week moves from one New York and Pennsylvania area stop to the next with a clear rhythm, one race to start, a day off to reset, then a two-night closer that can shape the tone of the tour before the next turn in the schedule.
