Carson Macedo earned his 60th World of Outlaws victory by winning the Hy-Vee Perks 40 at Jacksonville Speedway. The 29-year-old from Lemoore, California held off Spencer Bayston after a late-race duel and pulled away on the final restart. The milestone made Macedo the 16th driver in series history to reach 60 wins and the fourth driver this season to record multiple World of Outlaws victories.

Macedo first took the race lead on Lap 3 and exchanged the top spot with Bayston while negotiating heavy lapped traffic. Bayston struck the wall in Turns 3 and 4 on Lap 18, which allowed Macedo to regain control, get clean air on the top lane and pull away to the checkered flag. Macedo credited getting to the top before anyone else and the final restart for the result.

Spencer Bayston finished second in the Stenhouse Jr./Marshall Racing NOS Energy Drink No. 17, and polesitter Cole Macedo placed third in the TwoC Racing No. 2C, his best result of the season. Sheldon Haudenschild finished fourth and series point leader David Gravel was fifth. The victory was Macedo’s second at Jacksonville, his first coming in 2019 with Kyle Larson Racing, and made him the first driver in seven Jacksonville World of Outlaws visits to win there twice. He now joins David Gravel, Michael “Buddy” Kofoid and Anthony Macri as multi-time winners this season.

The World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series will stage a compact Memorial Day weekend swing of three races in four days, and organizers highlighted a high-stakes payout structure. Organizers announced the two holiday weekend nights, the Stars and Stripes Salute at Knoxville Raceway and the stop at Huset’s Speedway, will carry $20,000 winner paychecks; a separate report described each night of the three-race swing as carrying a $20,000 winner’s payout.

The swing opens midweek with the Hy-Vee Perks 40 at Jacksonville Speedway in Illinois on Thursday, May 21, moves to the Stars and Stripes Salute at Knoxville Raceway in Iowa on Saturday, May 23, and concludes at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, South Dakota, on Sunday, May 24. Organizers framed the schedule as a condensed, three-race, three-track, three-state road trip and reiterated the series’ partnerships with NOS Energy Drink and Hy-Vee.

Organizers said the $20,000-per-night payouts are intended to create a high-stakes finish to the weekend for series regulars and one-off entrants. Jacksonville brings its own storylines: only two current full-time World of Outlaws drivers have previously won there. Carson Macedo won at Jacksonville in 2019 driving the Kyle Larson Racing No. 2 and has posted fourth, fourth and third-place finishes while racing with Jason Johnson Racing. David Gravel won Jacksonville’s 2024 ‘race of the year’ and has finished no worse than fifth in three outings since joining Big Game Motorsports in the No. 2. Michael ‘Buddy’ Kofoid and Spencer Bayston have also reached Victory Lane at Jacksonville’s quarter-mile in POWRi Midget competition.

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.

Rico Abreu drove the No. 24 to victory in the 30-lap World of Outlaws season opener at Eldora Speedway, executing an aggressive late surge that included tapping the wall before pulling away to the checkered flag.

The win came in his first trip to Eldora since joining Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing ahead of the 2026 season, and Abreu credited crew chief Ricky Warner and the team for the result. It was his 22nd World of Outlaws victory, which moved him alone into 30th on the series’ all-time wins list. It was also his 14th overall triumph at Eldora, six of those in World of Outlaws competition, a total that ties him with Mark Kinser and Kerry Madsen for ninth-most wins at the track, and it extended Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing’s streak of at least one World of Outlaws checkered flag to 25 consecutive seasons.

Brian Brown, Giovanni Scelzi and Michael “Buddy” Kofoid each led laps during the race. Kofoid led three laps and finished second in the Roth Motorsports No. 83, a result that kept Roth Motorsports at nine podiums this season. Scelzi finished third in the Spire Motorsports No. 77, his first World of Outlaws top-three since March 2025. Aaron Reutzel was fourth and Logan Schuchart finished fifth.

Local Pennsylvania drivers Logan Zarin (No. 1Z, Hookstown) and Jared Miley (No. 10M) won split-field, 25-lap preliminary Features for the World of Outlaws Late Models at Marion Center Raceway on Friday, each earning $6,000.
Zarin powered to the lead early in the first Feature, navigated lapped traffic and held on for the victory, a win he called “the biggest win of his career.” Brent Larson finished second and Tyler Erb third.
Miley took command of the second Feature on Lap 7, passing Tristan Chamberlain and then holding off Dustin Sorensen to the checkered flag. His victory was his first Late Model win since Marion Center in August 2025 and his first World of Outlaws win since Port Royal in 2022.
The split-field prelims served as opening action and hometown highlights ahead of the Connor Bobik Memorial finale, which pays $30,000 to the winner. The World of Outlaws returns to Marion Center on Saturday for the headline event.

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.

Nineteen-year-old Ashton Torgerson signed with Three Stooges Racing to finish his rookie World of Outlaws season, taking over the team’s No. 51 ride after Scott Bogucki’s departure. The move is a midseason personnel change for both the driver and the teams involved.

Torgerson began the season driving Shark Racing’s No. 1A, running 17 races and posting four top-10s and a runner-up finish at Volusia Speedway Park before Shark Racing parked the No. 1A. He also filled in for Moody Motorsports at Williams Grove and finished eighth in the HVAC Distributors Morgan Cup finale in only his second night in the No. 99M.

The signing preserves Torgerson’s full-season rookie campaign and keeps him active in the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year presented by Five Star Bodies fight. At signing he trailed Emerson Axsom by 24 points. He is scheduled to debut for Three Stooges Racing at Attica Raceway Park on May 14 and at Eldora Speedway on May 15-16, providing continuity for the rest of his rookie season and opportunities to score points at two marquee dirt tracks.

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.
