Tyler Erb $100,000 Richer After Mansfield Speedway Triumph
Best Performance Motorsports Preps for Dirt Late Model Dream

ST. MARYS, Ohio (June 1, 2026) — Tyler Erb turned a routine preliminary feature into the biggest payday of his career Friday night at Mansfield Speedway, leading all 40 laps to claim a stunning $100,000 victory aboard the Best Performance Motorsports No. 1 Rocket Chassis Late Model.

What began as a $12,000-to-win preliminary quickly became one of the richest races of the season when a last-minute purse contribution increased the winner's share to $100,000 moments before the field hit the track.

“For $100,000, I kind of rethought my corner entry into [Turn] 1,” Erb said. “Just decided that, obviously you want to get the lead, that’s the most important thing in any race. You want to have the ability to lose the race and win the race. I took off into flight into [Turn] 1, which was no different than Qualifying. Was able to gather it back up, and Ricky didn’t completely use me up there in [Turns] 3 and 4 and I appreciate that. After that, I was like, ‘I led Lap 1, 39 more laps and I’m a hundred thousand-aire.”

Erb’s week with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series began Wednesday at Marion Center Raceway for the rescheduled Connor Bobik Memorial. After taking the green from the 21st starting position in the postponed May 16 feature, the New Waverly, Texas, native advanced 12 spots to finish ninth.

A fourth-place finish followed Thursday at Wayne County Speedway before Erb and the Best Performance Motorsports team headed to Mansfield, approximately two hours from the team's St. Marys headquarters.

Friday’s preliminary feature proved historic as Erb wired the field for the six-figure score. He returned Saturday for the Blaster 57 Special finale, earning a starting position in the main event with a third-place finish in his heat race.

Another generous contribution from Dan and Brenda Niss elevated Saturday’s purse to a second consecutive $100,000-to-win event. Starting ninth in the 57-lap finale, Erb charged forward to record a fourth-place finish and cap an impressive weekend.

The strong weekend vaulted Erb to third in the latest World of Outlaws Late Model Series championship standings.

Complete results from the World of Outlaws weekend can be found at www.WorldofOutlaws.com.

Next on the schedule is one of the sport’s crown-jewel events—the Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway. The week begins Wednesday with a FloRacing Night in America event before Erb returns Thursday for his Dream preliminary program. The weekend culminates with Saturday’s $100,000-to-win Dirt Late Model Dream finale.

Nick Hoffman Wins $100,057 Blaster 57 Special at Mansfield Speedway
Dirt Late Model Dream Begins Wednesday

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 1, 2026) — A busy week on the road with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series yielded Nick Hoffman the richest payday of his career, a six-figure score in the Blaster 57 Special at the newly revamped Mansfield Speedway.

Hoffman, who made some of his first Dirt Late Model starts during the Dirt Late Model Million in 2018 at the same Ohio oval that has since sat dormant, overtook Garrett Alberson on lap 46 and led the final 11 circuits en route to the $100,057 victory, thanks to an enhanced bonus from the Niss family.

“It’s unreal,” Hoffman said. “I came here for the Dirt Million [in 2018], those were my first couple starts in a Late Model, and hell, that was eight years ago now. Been through a lot of stuff, a lot of different car owners, great car owners. If it wasn’t for all of them, I wouldn’t be here either. Man, I just don’t know what to say. Thank you Matt Tifft for putting up the extra money.”

While the historic weekend ended in victory lane, Hoffman’s week began on Wednesday with a run in the postponed Connor Bobik Memorial from May 16 at Marion Center Raceway. He rallied to finish 13th in the 60-lap opener after suffering a flat tire while running on lap 37.

The next night, Hoffman lowered the track record in time trials at Wayne County Speedway before backing it up with a heat race win and a second-place finish in the feature.

From there, Hoffman joined a field of 45 World of Outlaws entries at the revived Mansfield Speedway for the two-day Blaster 57 Special. Recent renovations created rough track conditions throughout the weekend, but Hoffman secured a spot in Friday’s preliminary feature with a runner-up finish in his heat race. Thanks to a generous donation from Dan and Brenda Niss, the preliminary feature purse was boosted from $12,000 to $100,000-to-win, and Hoffman went on to finish seventh.

On Saturday, Hoffman followed up the fastest overall qualifying time with a heat race victory. He overtook pole-sitter Garrett Alberson following a lap-46 restart and pulled away to capture the 57-lap victory — worth $100,057 after the Niss family boosted the purse for a second consecutive night.

“The racetrack had character,” said Hoffman. “I had a little bit different tire combination on than I feel like the rest of the field, so I knew that the late part of that race it would come to me. So I just pressured and pressured and was able to get by (Alberson).

Hoffman is currently 11 points behind Bobby Pierce for the lead in the latest World of Outlaws standings.

Complete results from World of Outlaws swing can be found at www.WorldofOutlaws.com.

Hoffman is set to take on the Dirt Late Model Dream this weekend at the iconic Eldora Speedway. A FloRacing Night in America event kicks off the busy week on Wednesday, with Hoffman scheduled to return Friday for his preliminary night before Saturday’s $100,000-to-win finale.

Joseph Joiner Sweeps Northern Allstars Weekend, Banks $20,000 in Indiana
Hunt the Front Driver Builds Momentum Entering Dirt Late Model Dream

MILTON, Fla. (June 1, 2026) — Joseph Joiner couldn’t have scripted a much better start to his Midwest road trip.

The Milton, Florida, native scored back-to-back Northern Allstars Late Model Series victories over the weekend, capturing the Don Hobbs Classic at Bloomington Speedway and the Hoosier Dirt Classic at Brownstown Speedway.

"I can't believe it," Joiner said after Saturday’s triumph. "Two nights of this ... to come up here and do this (and) get ready for Eldora (Speedway) next week, I never would have thought we could go up here and get both of these and have as good a. weekend as we've had. We ain't tore nothing up. I mean, this is just great. Praise the Lord. I can't believe it."

Joiner’s three-week Midwest swing began Friday at Bloomington Speedway for the Don Hobbs Classic, honoring the late Bloomington Speedway Hall of Famer. After finishing second in his heat race, Joiner lined up fourth for the 40-lap feature. He surged past Tyler Collins for the lead following a lap-19 restart and drove away to secure his first victory of the season and first career Northern Allstars triumph.

On Saturday at Brownstown Speedway for the 43rd annual Hoosier Dirt Classic, Joiner again advanced into the feature with a second-place finish in his heat race. Starting from the third row, he found speed around the bottom of the racetrack and tracked down race leader Trevor Landrum on lap 31. Joiner then held off a hard-charging Jason Jameson in the closing laps to secure his second consecutive $10,000 payday.

Joiner crossed the finish line 0.422 seconds ahead of Jameson, with Adam Stricker completing the podium.

Complete results from the doubleheader in the Hoosier State can be found at www.NorthernAllstarsSeries.com.

Joiner now turns his attention to the biggest stage in Dirt Late Model racing as Eldora Speedway hosts the Dirt Late Model Dream this week. A FloRacing Night in America event on Wednesday opens four consecutive nights of competition. Joiner is slated to compete in Wednesday’s program before returning for his Dream preliminary night on Friday and Saturday’s finale.

CLEAN SWEEPIN': Tom Berry Jr perfect in Memorial Day Weekend triple through Iowa

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (May 27, 2026) - Perfect in all sense of the word, Marshalltown, Iowa's Tom Berry Jr. was a perfect three-for-three in his Memorial Day Weekend maneuvers through the Hawkeye State, winning three straight IMCA Modified main events over a three day campaign, all of which activating with a clean sweep at CJ Speedway in Columbus Junction, Iowa, on Friday, May 22.

Berry, a former IMCA Super Nationals Champion, continued his dominance with a victory at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, on Saturday, May 23, eventually capping his holiday slate with a triumph at Benton County Speedway in Vinton, Iowa, on Sunday, May 24. The three-race win sweep bumped Berry's total win tally to five in 2026, commencing his winning ways at Stuart Speedway in Stuart, Iowa, on Wednesday, April 8. An incredible feat, nonetheless, Berry has finished off the podium only once since that date - an unfortunate "DNF" at Stuart on April 19.

As noted, Berry's efforts at CJ Speedway resulted in a clean sweep: winning his respective heat race in addition to the main event. In fact, two of Berry's three Memorial Day Weekend performances resulted in a clean sweep with his only "defeat" occurring in his Benton County heat race; he finished third from third on the grid.

Adding to his impressive weekend stat sheet, Berry's visits to CJ Speedway and 34 Raceway were a first-ever, increasing his track appearance total to seven just this year. If all goes according to plan, and if his schedule allows, a return is likely.

Tom Berry Jr. and Berry Racing Enterprises would like to thank all of their marketing partners, including Brodehl Trucking, Lethal Chassis, Jahnke HVAC, Graveyard Auto & Towing, Dirt Stars Racing Products, Fleck Trucking, Paul & Jill Stone, Henry's Headers & Exhaust Systems LLC, AFCO Racing, Velocita-USA, Willy's Carb & Dyno Shop, LLC, Allstar Performance, Performance Bodies, Walker Performance Filtration, Scott & Lisa, Rod End Supply, Noonan Industries LLC, Wehrs Machine & Racing Products, FastShafts, Tire Demon by Love-Tap Fabrication, Jones Racing Products, DQ N 3rd Ave., Capital Sign Co., Precision Hydraulic and Oil, Karl Kustoms, Quam Trucking, and MyRacePass Marketing Services.

Brandon Sheppard Posts Consistent Weekend at Show-Me 100
Rises to Second in LOLMDS Points Chase

SHINNISTON, W. VA. (May 26, 2026) — Brandon Sheppard capped a consistent weekend with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series by scoring a runner-up finish in Sunday’s rain-delayed Show-Me 100 finale at Lucas Oil Speedway aboard the Rocket1 Racing / Valvoline / Seubert Calf Ranches No. 1 Late Model.

With a pair of preliminary top-10 finishes and a second-place effort in Sunday’s finale, Sheppard extended his streak to 15 consecutive top-10 finishes dating back to March 7 at Golden Isles Speedway.

“I think we had a little different tire combination than Bobby,” Sheppard said. “I felt like I couldn’t run many laps around the top before it started to go away, so I was trying to really hit the bottom in turns three and four and slowly creep toward him. I probably didn’t move around enough, but I was trying to take care of my tires. A lot of guys on the same tire strategy faded late.”

The 34th annual Show-Me 100 presented by Ace Doran began Thursday, but late showers following the consolation races forced Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series officials to postpone the Cowboy Classic feature until later Friday evening.

In Friday’s Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson preliminary, Sheppard backed up a third-place heat race finish with a strong charge from 14th to 3rd in the 40-lap feature.

Later that night, he rallied from the eighth row in the rain-delayed Cowboy Classic finale, gaining five positions to finish 10th in the $10,000-to-win main event.

Locked into Sunday’s rain-delayed $75,000-to-win Show-Me 100 via his preliminary results, Sheppard advanced four positions in the 75-lap finale to secure a runner-up finish. He joined winner Bobby Pierce and third-place finisher Jonathan Davenport on the podium.

With the weekend results, Sheppard climbed to second in the latest LOLMDS point standings.

Complete results, latest standings, and additional news on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series are available at www.LucasDirt.com.

Sheppard and the Rocket1 Racing team now turn their attention to a busy stretch with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. Action begins Thursday at Wayne County Speedway before the team heads to the newly revived Mansfield Speedway for the two-day Blaster 57 Special.

Josh Rice Charges to Cowboy Classic Victory at Lucas Oil Speedway
Kentucky Driver Earns $10,000 for First Win with JRR Motorsports

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. (May 26, 2026) — Josh Rice emerged victorious in Friday night’s rain-delayed Cowboy Classic at Lucas Oil Speedway, earning his first win with JRR Motorsports aboard the MGL Auto Sales / M.C. Tank Transport No. 11 Longhorn Chassis. (Heath Lawson Photos)

Rice, now a three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series winner, survived an attrition-filled feature to claim the $10,000 payday.

“I can’t thank James Ratliff enough for sticking with me,” Rice said in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. “I was doubting myself and wondering what in the world I had done. We tried some things Thursday, and this car has been so good. We just missed it on tires in that first race, and I thought we’d be much better than we were.”

The rain-soaked weekend originally began Thursday with the 13th annual Cowboy Classic, but persistent weather postponed the 45-lap affair until Friday after the consolation races were completed. Rice positioned himself for the feature with an impressive third-to-first charge in his heat race before patiently working his way through the field in the postponed preliminary.

Starting from the third row, Rice quickly moved into contention and challenged for the lead throughout the second half of the race. He reclaimed second on lap 39 before overtaking Garrett Alberson for the lead one lap later, ultimately driving away for the victory.

Earlier Friday, Rice also competed in the Tribute to Don & Billie Gibson program. He set fast time overall in the 51-car field and followed it up with a heat race victory. Rice faded during the closing stages of the 40-lapper to finish eighth.

The weekend concluded Sunday with the rain-delayed $75,000-to-win Show-Me 100 finale. Rice started from the outside front row and led laps 18-23 before fading late to a 14th-place finish in the 75-lapper.

Complete results, latest standings, and additional news on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series are available at www.LucasDirt.com.

Rice and JRR Motorsports are currently finalizing plans for the upcoming weekend, but the team is scheduled to return to Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competition June 19-20 at Smoky Mountain Speedway for the Mountain Moonshine Classic.

Additional event details are available at www.SmokyMountainSpeedway.com.

Bryce Norris perfect in Saturday night stop at I-55 Raceway
Lake Ozark a potential Memorial Day weekend destination

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (May 19, 2026) — Terre Haute, Indiana's Bryce Norris was the man to beat Saturday night at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway in Pevely, Missouri, conquering the entire 410 Sprint program for his first feature victory of the season.

Norris, a former Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) winner, was perfect from start to finish, not only winning the 25-lap main event, but he opened the evening's program with a heat race triumph, as well. The ace of the Bryce Norris Racing | Platinum Lawncare No. 37 started from the front row in each of the aforementioned contests.

Norris' I-55 performance pads an already impressive early-season stat sheet for the Hoosier, now with three top-tens in his last five starts, finishing no worse than 15th with an IRA Outlaw Sprint Series "Hard Charger Award" achieved in the process. In fact, the first of the mentioned top-tens was accomplished at I-55, powering ahead four positions from 13th on April 25. If all goes according to plan, Norris will return to the Pevely highbanks for an IRA invasion in late June.

Bryce Norris Racing is still evaluating its upcoming schedule due to weather concerns, but the team has identified a Memorial Day weekend doubleheader at Lake Ozark Speedway as its next hopeful event. If Mother Nature cooperates, the Missouri oval will host the POWRi 410 Outlaw Sprint Series for the Ozark Wave Breaker.

Additional event info is available www.LakeOzarkSpeedway.net.

Bryce Norris Racing would like to thank their marketing partners for their continued support, including Platinum Lawncare, Simpson Racing Products, Benic Enterprises, Xcaliber Graphics, Haute Hospitality, SMC Inc., Tipton Welding, Canada’s Collision Center, B&M Sandblasting & Powdercoating, Puremax Racing Oil, PMX Hose, Engler Fuel Injection, Ultrashield Race Products, Sharp Advantage, Keizer Wheels and MyRacePass Marketing Services.

Ashton Winger Dominates Gene Maine Memorial at Needmore Speedway
Georgia Native Collects $7,501 Southern Thunder Super Dirt Series Payday

HAMPTON, Ga. (May 18, 2026) — Ashton Winger capped off a strong Southern Thunder Super Dirt Series weekend in dominant fashion on Saturday night, piloting the Mathews Motorsports No. 12 Super K Express / Recreational Vehicle Select / Rocket Chassis / Durham Racing Engine Super Late Model to victory in the Gene Maine Memorial at Needmore Speedway.

After opening the doubleheader with a ninth-place finish on Friday at Waycross Motor Speedway, Winger was flawless at Needmore Speedway one night later. The Georgia native topped the charts in qualifying before leading all 40 laps en route to the $7,501 triumph.

“I knew getting that start there was important,” Winger said. “I knew I probably needed to lift pretty early down here on the start in order to get launched like I needed to leaving (turn) two. I felt like it really got one lane, but, like, you could still pass just based on, like, how long you waited to pick the throttle up down here leaving two, and then just the longer you went into three there beside somebody, as long as you stayed in the throttle. The shape of the racetrack actually just allowed you to pass (lapped cars).”

Winger’s home-state weekend began Friday with the Showdown at the Swamp at Waycross Motor Speedway, where he advanced four positions from a seventh-row starting spot to secure a top-10 finish.

Roughly 90 miles west on Saturday, Winger unloaded with speed at Needmore Speedway and never looked back. After pacing qualifying, he drove to a commanding flag-to-flag victory in the Gene Maine Memorial, crossing the finish line more than six seconds ahead of the competition.

The win marked Winger’s first victory of the 2026 season and the second Southern Thunder Super Dirt Series triumph of his career.

Complete results from the doubleheader www.SouthernThunderSeries.com.

Weather permitting, Winger is slated to head to West Virginia this weekend for a two-race swing with the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series. Action begins Friday at Elkins Speedway for the Frederick Memorial before wrapping up Saturday at West Virginia Motor Speedway as the newly renovated 3/8-mile oval hosts the tour.

Home-State Heroics: Logan Zarin Victorious at Marion Center Raceway
World of Outlaws ROTY Contender Claims Connor Bobik Memorial Prelim

HOOKSTOWN, Pa. (May 18, 2026) — Logan Zarin’s persistence on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series trail paid off over the weekend with a $6,000 victory in his home state of Pennsylvania aboard his All American Framers / Brandon's Lawn & Landscape No. 1Z Longhorn Chassis Late Model. (DGoody Photography image)

The rising Pennsylvania native and MD3 Rookie of the Year candidate outran Brent Larson on Friday night at Marion Center Raceway to secure his first career World of Outlaws victory during preliminary action for the Connor Bobik Memorial.

“This is crazy man, we’ve been getting our asses kicked on the road, it’s nice to come home and finally get one,” Zarin said, nearly overwhelmed with emotion. “I haven’t won a Super (Late Model) race in a long time, so this one’s cool.”

Zarin’s five-race stretch with the national tour began Wednesday at Delaware Speedway for the Visit Delaware 51. After finishing third in his heat race at the half-mile oval, he went on to record a 14th-place finish in the 51-lap opener.

The following night at Selinsgrove Speedway, Zarin improved two positions with a 12th-place outing before shifting focus to Marion Center Raceway for the two-day Connor Bobik Memorial.

With the stout 47-car field split into two groups for Friday’s preliminary program, Zarin laid down a strong qualifying effort to secure a front-row starting spot for his 25-lap feature. From there, he was dominant, leading flag-to-flag to secure the breakthrough victory.

Saturday’s Connor Bobik Memorial finale was ultimately washed out by Mother Nature, sending teams to Bedford Speedway on Sunday for the Billy Winn Classic. Zarin raced his way into the $20,000-to-win feature with a consolation race victory before ending the night with a 20th-place finish.

Complete results, latest news, and updated standings for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series can be found at www.WorldofOutlaws.com.

Zarin is slated to return to World of Outlaws competition later this month when the tour resumes the postponed Connor Bobik Memorial on May 27 before heading to Ohio for a three-race swing. Action continues May 28 at Wayne County Speedway before wrapping up with a doubleheader at Mansfield Motor Speedway for the inaugural Blaster 57 Special on Friday and Saturday.

On Friday, Holcombe topped the speed charts in qualifying before finishing runner-up in the dash. He rebounded in the 30-lap feature, driving past Michael Altobelli and Austin Self to score the opening-night victory.

He returned Saturday and elevated his performance even further, once again setting fast time before winning both the dash and feature in dominant fashion to secure the $2,500 payday and complete the weekend sweep.
