Hoffman began slipping backward into 10th. Pierce continued charging, battling McCreadie before making the pass for fifth! Up front, Gustin gained momentum on Davenport as the leaders approached lapped traffic. Gustin was closing, but Davenport held him off! ๐Ÿ”ฅ 20 LAPS TO GO HERE COMES BOBBY PIERCE! Pierce was moving and grooving! He threw a slider on Hudson Oโ€™Neal, but Oโ€™Neal crossed him back over! Oโ€™Neal caught Gustin with Pierce right behind. The battle intensified as Oโ€™Neal and Pierce made contact, allowing Pierce to get around! Then Pierce set his sights on Gustin! PIERCE THROWS THE SLIDER AND MAKES IT STICK! From 21st to SECOND with just 10 laps remaining! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ 8 LAPS TO GO BATTLE FOR THE WIN! Pierce had caught Davenport!

Congrats to Dallon Murty on winning the MLRA Liberty 100 at West Liberty Raceway. It was another historic race at the fabled Iowa 1/2 mile. That puts an end to my 2026 season. Looking forward to 2027 and my 30th year of being involved with the Dirt Late Model media.

Cody Overton and Garrett Smith led the field to green, with Overton jumping out front on lap one and never looking back early! Behind him, the battles were heating up! Hudson Oโ€™Neal was banging the high side, working his way past Daulton Wilson and eventually Jonathan Davenport for fourth. Meanwhile, Overton was putting on an absolute clinic, building a 1.8 second lead before slicing through lapped traffic on lap 13! With 19 laps remaining, โ€œLittle Sexyโ€ Cody Overton had stretched his lead to 2.4 seconds! But the first caution flew when Carson Ferguson went around, wiping away Overtonโ€™s advantage. On the restart, Overton continued to lead while Chris Madden moved into second and Oโ€™Neal charged into third! But here comes THE SMOOTH OPERATOR! ๐Ÿ‘€ Bobby Pierce, who transferred through the Last Chance Showdown, was on an absolute mission! After starting deep in the field, Pierce cracked the top 10 and wasnโ€™t stopping there! With 16 laps remaining, another caution bunched the field back up. Overton nailed the restart, but Pierce was HAMMERING the cushion! He stormed into the top five, worked around Oโ€™Neal for fourth, and had gained 16 positions! Pierce threw a slider at Davenport but couldnโ€™t make it stick! Then another caution flew with just 7 LAPS TO GO! Overton had dominated all night, but Pierce had found another gear and looked like one of the fastest cars on the racetrack! On the restart, Madden and Davenport got together, opening the door for Pierce to charge forward! With four laps remaining, Pierce was hunting down Overton, but Cody wasnโ€™t about to let this one slip away! ๐Ÿ CODY OVERTON WINS AT MODOC! ๐Ÿ† FIRST. CAREER. WORLD OF OUTLAWS. FEATURE. WIN! Tears in his eyes and pure emotion in Victory Lane! Little Sexy gets it done in front of his home crowd, collecting $12,000 and the biggest World of Outlaws victory of his career!

๐ŸšจBrian Shirley Charges From Ninth to Win the Jackson 100 at Brownstown Speedway The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series rolled into Brownstown Speedway for the Jackson 100, with 100 laps and $50,000 waiting for the winner. Ricky Thornton Jr. and Kyle Bronson led the field to green, but the opening lap was wiped away after Jason Jameson spun before the field could complete the first circuit. On the restart, Thornton Jr. grabbed the early lead, but Bronson went to work on the high side and took over on lap two. Another caution followed shortly after when Dan Ebert suffered front-end damage. Once racing resumed, Frank Heckenast Jr. moved around Thornton Jr. for second while Brian Shirley began his charge from the ninth starting spot. By lap 15, the leaders were already working through lapped traffic. Shirley closed in on Heckenast Jr. and threw a slider to take second before quickly reeling in Bronson. Shirley and Bronson went side-by-side for the lead before Shirley completed the pass on lap 24. Behind him, the battle continued to heat up. Heckenast Jr., Thornton Jr., Brandon Sheppard and Hudson Oโ€™Neal all fought for position while the leaders worked through heavy traffic. At lap 40, Shirley remained out front, but Heckenast Jr. was closing. Heckenast eventually moved into second, while Sheppard and Thornton Jr. worked their way around Bronson. At the halfway mark, Shirley continued to lead as the field behind him tightened up. Thornton Jr. moved back into third while Josh Rice began making noise, working his way into the top five and closing quickly. With 30 laps remaining, the top seven cars were all on the same straightaway. Business was picking up. Rice worked his way around Sheppard and continued charging toward the front, while Max Blair and Devin Moran also began moving through the field. With 20 laps remaining, the pressure continued to build in heavy lapped traffic. Blair moved around Thornton Jr., and Rice stayed right in the middle of the battle near the front. Then, with 14 laps remaining, a caution erased Shirleyโ€™s advantage and gave the rest of the field one final shot. Shirley led the restart with Rice, Heckenast Jr., Thornton Jr. and Blair all behind him. Positions continued to change throughout the top five, but Shirley refused to give up the lead. With six laps remaining, Thornton Jr. went back to the high side and moved around Heckenast Jr., but nobody had enough to get to Shirley. The white flag waved. From ninth to the lead, and from the lead to the WIN. Brian Shirley took command on lap 24 and never looked back, winning the Jackson 100 and taking home the $56,000 payday. #LucasDirt #DirtRacing #LateModels
