2025 World of Outlaws

Larson back in form and he takes night one at Huset's. Spencer Bayston surprsies with a strong second place run, much needed after his miserable season thus far. Kofoid third, Gravel fourth, Garet Williamson fifth.
 
The Huset's Track Rework Nationals are ongoing. I'm always down to wait for better main events. The soil there is not the most cooperative. Hopefully it will pay off for a good $100k to win race. Here's your lineup.

 
No cautions, lightning fast race. Track still not very good after the prep, was better last night. Buddy Kofoid continues his recent dominance of Huset's and takes the $100k. Bill Balog second, Larson third, then Gravel and Courtney.
 
Balog gets the win tonight. It's not the big money from last night or tomorrow night, but a great win nonetheless. Kofoid was coming at the end and passed Garet Williamson for second at the line. Gravel was fourth and Haudenschild fifth.
 
Terrible weekend for Rico. Sets quick time on both qualifying nights. Then goes backwards in his heats. With the invert heavy format and uh...less than ideal for passing track at Huset's, that's a killer. He had a chance in the B-Main tonight to get into the final transfer spot, and instead went backwards again, missing the show. Car just didn't race well in traffic all week. Reutzel also had a similar bad week. I wouldn't be surprised if neither are back next year.

Here is the starting lineup:

 
It comes down to Kofoid vs. Balog again. Balog took the lead early, but couldn't hold off the #83 over the distance of the race. Kofoid wins again and is clearly the master of Huset's at the moment.

1. Kofoid
2. Balog
3. Haudenschild
4. Williamson
5. Schuchart

I don’t love this track to be honest
 
If you weren't Kofoid, Balog, or Williamson, you weren't going to have a chance to win this week. I too have to wonder how many folks will just opt to run Ohio instead next year.
 
The Doty Classic at Attica draws 45 cars tonight, with some HL teams joining and some saving their stuff for Eldora. Larson will be on the pole for the main event after winning the dash over Kofoid. Very scary wreck at the end of the B between Kalib Henry and Brady Bacon, who were racing for the transfer in the final corner. Bacon threw a slider that wasn't clear and Henry went for a terrible ride. They reportedly have extracted him from the car and are taking all precautions. He was reported to be conscious and alert. Definitely hope it turns out he is OK.

Main event coming up.

 
A wild series of events in the main. A treacherous cushion that bit several of the leaders. Larson fell off the cushion and lost several spots. Kofoid spun out after banging the cushion while be passed by Haudenschild but stayed in it and did a full 360. Looked like Haudenschild had the race in hand but then he spun out all on his own. Carson Macedo emerges the winner, followed by Kofoid and Schatz in his first podium for a while. Larson finished fifth.

Happened right in front of us. That was one of the worst wrecks I’ve ever seen in person. We all knew it was coming the way Bacon threw it into 3 and 4. I’m just glad the car didn’t scale the fence.

As for the A Main, that was wild. 5 lead changes and Haudenschild absolutely throwing it away with a huge lead. I can’t believe he blew that. Larson had the car but got beat up on the restarts
 
I turned it on as they were airlifting Kalib and I couldn't stand to keep watching at that point. Just went to bed. I've watched a lot of him this year as he's here in the midwest racing and it broke my heart to see that.
 
Good news.

So, is this where Zeb Wise lands? I dunno who else is better sitting around who can fill this seat.

Gio took an insane spill yesterday and he hasn't had the best year, but he did win earlier in the season and he's fast. I know he's relocated to Iowa so I wonder how this affects that.
 
The situation has to be pretty untenable to "decide" to leave the team during the middle of Kings Royal week. It wasn't clicking with Gio and the #18 for sure. There was pre-season talk of him elevating into the top 3-4 in the standings, and instead he's seventh and has been very inconsistent. But he has shown a lot of speed at big events. Unless he's about to jump to the #14 replacing the struggling Bayston, this is a wild move to make.
 
Going to the Kings Royal tomorrow and honestly I'm slightly nervous. The wrecks this week have been insane. Sunshine looks like he's out for months while Reutzel just got hurt tonight with who knows what. Even if you aren't hurt like Kahne or Gravel it's still terrifying to see.
 
The rut in turn one is still junking cars and sending drivers to the ambulance. It was Reutzel this time.

Rico wins, followed by Macedo, Larson, and Gravel. Larson and Gravel has a wicked back and forth of sliders. After the checkers, Gravel got into Larson and the ended up spun out together and jawing at each other. Lol.

You definitely feel the fear at Eldora. But that’s because of the raw speed, they’re lapping sub 13 second laps on a half mile! People wonder why the wrecks are so bad, it’s because the speeds are obscene. It’s similar to running Indy at MIS
