2025 World of Outlaws

Making up for last night's disappointment, what a race tonight! Rico barely holds on over a charging Larson, who came from the fifth row to nearly take the win on the final lap. Logan Schuchart was third and is the hottest WoO driver right now. Other than him, it definitely felt like a High Limit race broke out and an Outlaws event. The track was very tricky with a lot of comers and goers.
 
Hard, hard night for Schatz. Winds up in the Non-Qualifier races, starts the feature on a provisional, and then gets wrecked because of whatever the hell happened to PPM.

Lots of immediate overreactions this morning that High Limit dominated. Sure helps when High Limit had lured in the former Knoxville weekly guy that dominated this race until the PPM/Schatz wreck.
 
It's one night, and WoO had been on the whole stronger this year leading up to it. But there is no way that was a good look for WoO last night at the crown jewel track of the sport. In addition to Schatz, several of the top ten WoO teams were stuck in the B. Several took provisionals.

Schuchart is really fast right now. Gravel is always solid everywhere. Scelzi can perform at Knoxville. Beyond that, in terms of last night, yikes.
 
Schatz handicaps himself in this format by not being able to time in. He's putting himself in a huge hole after 2 laps. Yes he went out 28th and timed in 26th. Ruetzel went out 22nd and set quick time in group B. Yes, Reutzel has ruled Knoxville lately, but you got to remember Donny is (or was) Donny Knoxville.

Larson should not have allowed Brown to pass him in the heat, thus losing a spot in the dash, and a real shot at victory lane. All of the hard chargers came out of their provisional starting position. (13, 12 and 11 spots for the WoO regulars)
I found it quite interesting that they did not do an interview with a platinum team after each heat race.

Heat 1 Brian Brown P2
Heat 2 Kerry Madsen P5
Heat 3 Riley Goodno P4
Heat 4 Brad Sweet P4.

Back in the not so far distant past, that would never happen.

Can't wait for the High Bank Nationals at Husets, as I assume the bulk of the High Limit guys will be there also.

Brent Mark's was MIA all weekend, which is strange.
 
Sheldon Haudenschild leads flag to flag at TSS-Haubstadt, but faces continual pressure throughout on restarts from Buddy Kofoid, who settles for second. Kofoid inched ahead a couple times but couldn't make it stick. Tyler Courtney was third, followed by Emerson Axsom and David Gravel.
