LAKE CITY, FL (February 21, 2026) – Hudson O’Neal charged from his fourth starting position to take the lead with 20 laps remaining in Saturday night’s 50-lap Wieland Winter Nationals feature at All-Tech Raceway, capturing his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season.

 

O’Neal had to survive a late-race caution with five laps to go after third-running Mark Whitener climbed the wall in turn four. Whitener, who led a race-high 26 laps, suffered right-front suspension damage in the incident and was unable to finish.

 

On the ensuing restart, O’Neal held off Brandon Overton to secure his first career victory at All-Tech in 13 appearances at the Florida facility. Overton crossed the line second, just 0.804 seconds behind the third-generation driver. Clay Harris capped off a strong week at All-Tech with his second podium finish, taking third. Garrett Alberson finished fourth, followed by Carson Ferguson in fifth.

 

Harris jumped to the early lead in the $15,000-to-win feature as weather loomed from the northwest, pacing the field for the first three laps before Whitener took control.

 

Whitener, who entered the weekend as the driver in the field with the most competitive laps at All-Tech, was seeking his first career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory.

 

The race’s first caution flew on lap 17 for Michael Leach. Whitener maintained the lead on the restart, with O’Neal running second after starting fourth. O’Neal stalked Whitener until lap 30, when he executed an inside move off turn four to take command.

 

Whitener settled into second as Overton began applying pressure. Overton briefly took over the runner-up spot on lap 36, but Whitener reclaimed the position a lap later. Overton finally secured second for good on lap 41, dropping Whitener to third. Four laps later, Whitener’s bid for his first LOLMDS podium ended when he climbed the wall in turn four, bringing out the race’s second and final caution.

 

With five laps remaining and a single-file restart ahead, O’Neal executed flawlessly to fend off Overton and seal the victory.

 

The win marked O’Neal’s 35th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph. The 2023 series champion also recorded his fifth overall victory of the season, making him the early-season winningest driver in the nation.

 

“I definitely didn’t want to see that caution,” said the Martinsville, Indiana native in Lucas Oil Victory Lane. “I felt like I had a good race car, but the top getting into turn one was so far out there that it really opened me up to a slide job if I didn’t get a good restart. I just focused on hitting my marks and making sure I pinched that last tire and got as low as I could down the front straightaway.

 

“I tried to create as much separation as possible. I really thought Whitener was going to be hard to beat. He was running that top really well and was on the ragged edge. I was just trying to pace myself. Luckily, I found something on the bottom in lapped traffic, and it all worked out. I’ve never won here before, so it’s a great feeling to win somewhere new.”

 

Overton, who is returning for another full season with the series, admitted All-Tech has traditionally been a challenging venue for him. Still, he leaves the track with a five-point championship lead heading to Ocala next week.

 

“We’ll take it because this was supposed to be our tough week,” Overton said. “We set fast time in our group every night, won two heats, and were on the podium two nights. This place is super tricky. I think I had a winning car tonight. I struggled early on the bottom — the first couple of laps I tried to poke my nose down there and they just drove around me on the top. Once I moved up, we were really good. Congrats to Hudson and Clay — they’ve been fast all weekend.”

 

Harris finished the week at All-Tech with a second- and third-place finish and believes a mistake on Thursday likely cost him a shot at three podium results.

 

“I just couldn’t run that top like those other guys could,” Harris said. “I hit the tractor tire with the right front and it knocked the toe out, ripped the steering wheel out of my hands. I had to gather it back up and get it back together. Then there at the end, I guess I decided to hit it again.”

 

The winning Todd and Vickie Burns/SSI Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Wheeler Metals, Merrill Bonding Company, Professional Concrete Cutting and Drilling, O’Neal’s Salvage and Recycling, Lineal Contracting, Beeman Lumber, Lucas Oil, Sunoco Race Fuels, Seven Spurs Ranch, Penske Racing Shocks, and Indiana USSSA Fast Pitch Softball.

 

Completing the top ten were Frank Heckenast Jr., Devin Moran, Brandon Sheppard, Cory Hedgecock, and Kyle Bronson.

LAKE CITY, FL (February 20, 2026) – Defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Presented by FloRacing National Champion Devin Moran delivered a dominant performance Friday night, leading all 50 laps to win the Wieland Winter Nationals at All-Tech Raceway.

 

Moran’s first series victory of the season came in a caution-free main event that lasted just over 17 minutes. The Dresden, Ohio native was so strong that he lapped up to the eighth-place car by the time he took the checkered flag.

 

Clay Harris matched his career-best Series finish with a runner-up effort after starting eighth, while Brandon Overton rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Brandon Sheppard finished fourth, with Hudson O’Neal completing the top five.

 

Moran secured the 25th Lucas Oil Victory Lane appearance of his career. He held a lead of more than five seconds at one point and ultimately crossed the finish line 1.944 seconds ahead of Harris.

 

“We have been just working and working,” Moran said. “I feel like we made the right changes — we just didn’t know because we’re doing some things that are a little unknown to us — and it was really, really good. This Longhorn Chassis… we showed up with this car last week at Volusia, and we just had to work on it. It wasn’t the car’s fault — it was just something we needed to figure out.”

 

“I looked at the scoreboard and it still said 26 laps to go, and I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ I could maneuver really well. They were throwing those crumbs off the bottom, and I could run that middle really well. This place is so tricky. With the way the dirt is, if you get too sideways, you feel like you’re going to spin out — you’ve just got to drive it like you’re on asphalt. It’s Florida, baby — I love it.”

 

Harris rebounded from Thursday night’s disappointment - when a potential second-place finish slipped away after contact with the Turn 2 wall - to secure his runner-up finish on Friday.

 

“I didn’t quite send it in as hard as yesterday. I was a little more patient tonight,” Harris said. “Those last five laps I was driving as hard as I could on the bottom. I ran him (Moran) down a little bit, but those lapped cars were hard to get by. The off-season really helped us because it gave us more time to be prepared. We have all the motors we need for this year, I believe.”

 

Overton, who led 15 laps on Thursday night, advanced from the 10th starting position to finish third.

“I just knew what not to do after my heat race,” Overton said. “I guess I turned the knobs the wrong way or something. I’m not quite as good as I need to be, but at least we’re going forward. This is All-Tech — it’s just the craziest place. Congrats to Clay and Devin; they do a heck of a job.”

 

The winning Roger Sellers, Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Millwood Plumbing, C&W Trucking, Phillips CPA, Anthony’s Pizza, Bomag, CarSourceAuto.com, Hazen Services, McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Elliott Farms, and Pee Wee’s Wrecker Service.

 

Rounding out the top ten were Mark Whitener, Ricky Thornton Jr., Cory Hedgecock, Max Blair, and Josh Rice.

LAKE CITY, FL (February 19, 2026) – Brandon Sheppard kicked off the 2026 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing season in winning fashion Thursday night, capturing the season opener during the Wieland Winter Nationals at All-Tech Raceway.

 

Sheppard, who started sixth, charged to the lead on lap 16, taking the top spot from Brandon Overton. From there, he paced the remainder of the race, holding off defending series champion Devin Moran in the closing laps to secure his 36th career Series victory.

 

Moran, who lined up alongside Sheppard in the third row, took over second on lap 30 and applied heavy pressure during the final ten laps. However, he fell just short at the finish line, crossing 0.544 seconds behind the winner. Hudson O’Neal completed the Big River Steel Podium in third after starting on the pole and rallying back from as far as sixth. Overton, who led the opening 15 circuits, finished fourth, while Hoker Trucking Hard Charger Carson Ferguson advanced from 19th to round out the top five.

 

Overton set the early pace from his outside front-row starting position as a spirited battle for second unfolded between O’Neal and Clay Harris. Harris, seeking his first career LOLMDS victory, moved into second on lap 13 and began pressuring Overton for the lead.

 

As Overton and Harris battled up front, Sheppard surged forward, slipping past both drivers on lap 16 to take command. Harris reclaimed second on lap 17 and continued his duel with Overton until misfortune struck. With 29 laps complete, Harris made contact with the wall in turn two, ending his night.

 

Following the final restart, Sheppard maintained control out front. Ferguson briefly moved into second on lap 30 after an impressive charge through the field, but Moran quickly powered from fourth to second using the high side of the racetrack.

 

Sheppard worked the low-to-middle groove while Moran rim-rode the cushion in pursuit. The final 11 laps ran caution-free, and Sheppard crossed the finish line to earn his first LOLMDS victory since August 15 at Batesville Motor Speedway in Arkansas.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, Sheppard - back as a full-time tour competitor in 2026 - credited his team for the strong start to the season.

 

“It definitely feels good,” Sheppard said. “We’ve had a really fast race car all of Speedweeks. We just needed a few things to go our way. Mark and the guys have been tweaking on this thing, working hard to get it exactly how I like it. About halfway through last year, I knew coming into this season we were going to be pretty good. It was just a matter of putting the whole package together. We even changed the motor today just as a precaution.”

 

Moran, who made a late charge but could not mount a final-lap bid, noted the team’s recent improvements.

 

“We just have to keep working on the race car,” Moran said. “We struggled really bad at Volusia last week, so we’re trying to find the right balance. We’ve definitely picked up speed - now we just need to fine-tune the balance. Sheppy and those guys did a great job. It’s refreshing to get back on the podium. On that caution, I noticed how much grip was up top and thought there was something there. On the restart, I about split them and ran that floater line, and it worked really well.”

 

O’Neal, the 2023 series champion who finished fourth in last year’s championship standings, credited key restarts for his podium finish.

 

“I had some good restarts,” O’Neal said. “I might have been a little too conservative early in the race and put myself in some tough spots. At one point I fell back to sixth and thought I might not even salvage a top five after starting on the pole. But we were able to work through some guys on that last restart, and the car was really good at the end.”

 

Sheppard’s Mark Richards Racing Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Ace Metal Works, Performance Grading, Petroff Towing, Franklin Enterprises, Fox Shocks, Sunoco Race Fuels, Gunter’s Honey, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, and Collins Brothers Towing.

 

Rounding out the top ten were Josh Rice, Dan Ebert, Brian Shirley, Kyle Bronson, and Mark Whitener.
