17 Drivers Climb World of Outlaws All-Time Wins List

Emily Schwanke

CONCORD, NC (December 2, 2025) – The 2025 season for the World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision was one of the most competitive in recent memory, with plenty of new and returning faces making their way to Victory Lane.

In total, 17 different drivers won at least one Series race this year, nearly twice as many as the previous season. That included nine of the top 10 drivers in the final point standings, as well as three drivers who scored their first win with The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet.

Take a look at this season’s winners:

Brandon Sheppard (Rank: 1 / Wins: 88): The five-time World of Outlaws champion made it nine-straight years with at least one win with his drive to victory at Farmer City Raceway. His fourth win on Illini 100 weekend was the 88th of his career with the Series, 10 more than his closest challenger and fellow Rocket1 Racing star, Josh Richards.

Bobby Pierce (Rank: 5 / Wins: 42): For the third year in a row, Bobby Pierce assembled a double-digit win total en route to his second World of Outlaws championship. His 11 wins came at 10 different tracks, eight of them being places he had never won at previously with the Series. Pierce enters 2026 in a tie with Billy Moyer for fifth all-time, and is in position to continue climbing the order for years to come, as Sheppard is the only driver ahead of him who is still competing full-time at the national level.

Tim McCreadie (Rank: 7 / Wins: 39): “T-Mac” took advantage of his first full World of Outlaws campaign since 2015 to make major moves up the leaderboard with his six-win season. After picking up his first two wins of the year in familiar territory at Raceway 7 and Bedford Speedway, three of his final four scores came at tracks he had never turned a lap at – Nodak Speedway, 81 Speedway and Boothill Speedway. McCreadie’s success moved him up to seventh on the list in a tie with fellow Late Model legend Chris Madden with 39 wins apiece.

Mike Marlar (Rank: 14 / Wins: 18): Despite not running a full national schedule in 2025, Mike Marlar was consistently in contention whenever he rolled through the gates. The “Winfield Warrior” won the final night of the Battle at the Border at Sharon Speedway in July, which turned out to be the final win of his two-year stint with Skyline Motorsports before he rejoined Delk Racing in September. The 2018 champion has amassed 18 wins at 17 different tracks, with The Dirt Track at Charlotte being the only place he has won at more than once in World of Outlaws competition.

Jonathan Davenport (Rank: 15 / Wins: 17): Sitting one win behind Marlar is Jonathan Davenport, who got his year rolling with a win at Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals and closed it out with two more at World of Outlaws World Finals. That trio of victories moved Davenport to 15th all-time, and he’s second behind Jimmy Owens among drivers who have never ran a full season with the Series.

Dennis Erb Jr., Ryan Gustin (Rank: 17 [tied] / Wins: 15): Following a season littered with strong finishes and near misses, Dennis Erb Jr. broke through in the waning weeks of the year at Humboldt Speedway for his first World of Outlaws win in more than two years. Eight days later, Ryan Gustin joined him at the 15-win mark with his Boothill triumph, capping off a five-win season that also included his first crown jewel at the USA Nationals as well as wins at Volusia Speedway Park, Swainsboro Raceway and Wilmot Raceway.

Devin Moran (Rank: 19 / Wins: 14): Volusia win number six for the “Mailman” came in February, putting him in a four-way tie with Scott Bloomquist, Richards and Sheppard on top of the World of Outlaws winners list at the “World’s Fastest Half Mile.” The victory moved him into the top 20 overall and solidified his status as the second-winningest Ohio driver in Series history behind Richards.

Brian Shirley (Rank: 22 / Wins: 13): The 13th World of Outlaws win of Brian Shirley’s career was easily the biggest, as he became the newest winner of the Prairie Dirt Classic at Fairbury Speedway. His lone Series win on the year tied him with fellow Illinois star Shannon Babb for 22nd on the list.

Nick Hoffman (Rank: 25 / Wins: 11): After a breakout five-win sophomore season with the World of Outlaws in 2024, Nick Hoffman backed it up by matching that total in 2025. The upper Midwest continued to be fertile ground, with Hoffman’s first four wins coming in Wisconsin, North Dakota and Minnesota. But even though he’s called North Carolina home for the entirety of his adult life, Hoffman had never won a Late Model race on the southern red clay until finally breaking through at Needmore Speedway in September. Only three seasons into his full-time Late Model career, Hoffman has already become one of the top 25 winningest drivers on the World of Outlaws trail.

Ashton Winger (Rank: 28 / Wins: 5): For the second time in five years, Ashton Winger took down the Outlaws at his home track, Senoia Raceway, to bring his career win total to five with the Series. That equals him with several other stars of the sport’s past and present, including Donnie Moran, Earl Pearson Jr. and Ricky Thornton Jr.

Tyler Erb, Tanner English (Rank: 35 [tied] / Wins: 4): Tyler Erb’s first World of Outlaws win at a track other than Atomic Speedway came 700 miles to the northwest at Mississippi Thunder Speedway on the opening night of Dairyland Showdown weekend. Three months later, Tanner English conquered the tight 1/4-mile Highland Speedway for his first Series win in three years, delivering Coltman Farms Racing their first trophy on the national stage.

Hudson O’Neal (Rank: 41 / Wins: 3): Hudson O’Neal won in back-to-back years at Volusia to kick off 2023 and 2024, but this year, his annual World of Outlaws win came at the end of the season with a last-corner pass at World Finals. It was his first Series triumph behind the wheel of the Rumley No. 6, and the team’s first since Kyle Larson won at Sharon Speedway in 2021.

Garrett Alberson (Rank: 49 / Wins: 2): It was a breakout 2025 season for Garrett Alberson and Roberts Motorsports, and one that included the Las Cruces, NM driver’s first two World of Outlaws victories. The first came on the final night of DIRTcar Sunshine Nationals in January, when Alberson took command from Jimmy Owens past halfway and traded sliders with Davenport in the closing circuits. The encore performance came less than a month later, when Alberson led flag-to-flag in the first of three World of Outlaws Features at DIRTcar Nationals.

Ethan Dotson, Drake Troutman (Rank: 63 [tied] / Wins: 1): Two members of the 2025 rookie class scored a win in their first full tour, starting at Farmer City Raceway where Ethan Dotson took the checkers. One of the drivers he denied on that night was Drake Troutman, who went on to pick up a trophy of his own at I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park to become the 104th different winner in World of Outlaws history.

Drake Troutman Scores First Reutimann Memorial Triumph in Second Career Attempt

Chris Anderson

When Drake Troutman last suited up at Volusia Speedway Park for the Emil and Dale Reutimann Memorial in 2023, he came up one position shy of the win.

He wasn’t going to be denied another chance to win as he led the final 34 laps for his first win in the marquee event against familiar competition in national dirt Late Model racing.

While Stephen Pedulla and Josh Sanford brought the field of 30 DIRTcar UMP Modifieds to the opening green flag, Ethan Dotson, Kyle Strickler, and Troutman ambushed the front two drivers around the top of the 1/2-mile track, with Dotson taking the lead on Lap 2 and Strickler taking second place.

Troutman found early pacing around the bottom lane and utilized it to pass Pedulla for third on Lap 4, then Strickler for second on Lap 8. He then shifted to the high lane to chase down Dotson’s No. 99 Beak Built Chassis.

A slip by Dotson on Lap 12 opened the chance for Troutman to race side-by-side as the two World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Models presented by DIRTVision rookies exchanged slide jobs for multiple laps until the Hyndman, PA driver was fully clear of Dotson with a final crossover move through Turns 1-2 on Lap 16.

Troutman kept his No. 5 Foster-owned UMP Modified glued to the cushion as Dotson felt pressure from Strickler for the runner-up position. While Troutman managed to squeeze through the lapped traffic, the two drivers behind him struggled to emulate his abilities as the leader’s gap was stretched to 4.1 seconds.

An open red caution with 12 laps remaining gave the field a final opportunity at stealing the win away. Troutman responded by owning a one-second gap over Dotson and Strickler as Westminster, MD’s Ray Kable joined the podium mix around the low lane by passing Strickler on Lap 39, then took second from Dotson on Lap 43. 

Dotson - who kept his Modified on the top - drove back around Kable for second place, but could not chip away at Troutman’s 4.7-second lead in time as he passed the twin checkered flags for his first win in the November battle.

“That was good racing, I was telling (Ethan),” Troutman said. “The dirt’s way better than what it ever has been, the track’s awesome, and they did a phenomenal job. I sailed it down across the center there, and the slick is slick. Like, I pushed across the center, and I thought I was going to take both me and him out, to be honest. But it’s always fun racing with him, I feel like we raced each other really hard and clean at the same time, but it was good. All in all, it was a good night.”

Dotson finished the 50-lap Feature in second place, marking his second podium at “The World’s Fastest Half Mile” after winning the event in 2022. He’ll set his sights on taking the experience from the Modified to the No. 74X ASD Motorsports Late Model in January for DIRTcar Sunshine Nationals.

“Honestly, ever since I won this race (in 2022), it feels like I have a curse here,” Dotson said. “I came here last year and thought we had a shot to win. This year, we were good, but we were lagging a little bit here and there. Drake was super good tonight. He could go all over the racetrack and put it wherever he wanted it. I was just limited and had to drive too hard to keep up and burn my tires off.

“That new dirt they put on, I’m super excited to come down and run Late Models on it here in January because I feel like what they did and stuff helped a lot. We could race all over the thing, and it was super exciting.”

After being stuck inside the top-20 throughout the first half, Kable finished the night on the podium to cap off his first weekend at the Reutimann Memorial aboard the Austin Self-owned No. 23K machine.

“Luckily, it was a long race,” Kable said. “Because at the beginning, I started to fall back, and I thought I was really in trouble. So, it took time. I tried the top, the middle, and the bottom. Finally, I don’t know if my tires came in or maybe I just grew some sense there, but after that red, that thing really came alive. I started coming off the corners like a bandit, so I was happy that I didn’t finish in the back, even though I ended up there for part of the race.”

Rounding out the night’s top five finishers were Strickler and 2020 event champion Tyler Nicely, with the top five drivers receiving $100 bonuses from RCP America.

SHOWDOWN FRIDAY: Troutman, Pedulla, Strickler, Oedewaldt Win Showdown Features at Reutimann Memorial

BARBERVILLE, FL (November 21, 2025) - The 12th edition of the Emil and Dale Reutimann Memorial opened with drivers chasing 20 available spots to set the stage for Saturday’s $10,000-to-win finale.

Among the 40 DIRTcar UMP Modifieds that arrived for the weekend at Volusia Speedway Park, it was Drake Troutman, Stephen Pedulla, Kyle Strickler, and Zane Oedewaldt leaving with the Discount Towing Showdown Feature trophies.

Multi-division track champion Jason Garver took a victory lap by sweeping Feature wins in the 602 Late Models and Factory Stocks to complete Friday’s portion of the marquee event at the “World’s Fastest Half Mile.”

Here is how each Showdown Feature played out:

Discount Towing Showdown Feature #1

In Drake Troutman’s first Reutimann Memorial start since 2023, it did not take him long to find his groove around the 0.5-mile track.

Driving the No. 5 Elite Chassis, the Hyndman, PA native began the evening with the South Shore Auto Repair Fast Time honors, then dominated the opening Showdown Feature by leading all 15 laps.

Troutman found comfort around the cushion from the drop of the green flag as Mitch Thomas held onto second place using the middle lane.

Behind the two leaders, multiple cars battled for a transfer spot into Saturday’s event, including Treb Jacoby, Blake Tasker, and Mark Anderson. While racing for third place on the final lap, Tasker spun and opened the door for Dillon Buhr to steal the final spot in the top five.

Between the two frontrunners, Thomas was unable to keep Troutman in his crosshairs as the World of Outlaws Real American Beer presented by DIRTVision Rookie of the Year took the checkered flag by over four seconds ahead of the No. 97.

After finishing second, Thomas joins Troutman in the Feature Redraw. Occupying spots inside the top five transfers include Jacoby, Anderson, and Buhr.

“The track’s a lot different than what it was whenever we were down here earlier this year,” Troutman said. “I think definitely for the better, they did a really good job with everything. It’s smooth, and I think the racetrack altogether is a lot better. So, kudos to those guys and thanks to the whole Reutimann family for putting this deal on for us.”

Showdown Feature 1 (15 Laps): 1. 5-Drake Troutman[1]; 2. 97-Mitch Thomas[3]; 3. J82-Treb Jacoby[6]; 4. 43A-Mark Anderson[4]; 5. 24B-Dillon Buhr[5]; 6. 00-Blake Tasker[2]; 7. 23-Kevin Dugger[7]; 8. 52-Mikey Kopka[8]; 9. 25-Greg Belyea[9]; 10. (DNS) 2-Devin Dixon

Discount Towing Showdown Feature #2

Making his second attempt at winning the Reutimann Memorial, Stephen Pedulla will be in prime position after 15 laps in the second Showdown Feature of the evening.

The Kannapolis, NC driver rolled to the green flag from the outside of the front row and attempted to outrun Chris Spalding, but did not have enough speed to defend the top spot and conceded to hold second place.

Pedulla kept Spalding within a 0.7-second gap and waited for the No. 29 machine to make a vital mistake to put the two in a crucial duel to victory. When Spalding’s line became worn out with five laps remaining, he had to adjust to the top while Pedulla kept his No. 31G to the bottom lane.

Pedulla reached Spalding’s rear end as the white flag flew and drag raced across the backstretch, culminating with Pedulla completing the pass with a slide job through Turns 3-4 to steal his first Reutimann Memorial Showdown triumph.

While Pedulla and Spalding visit the Redraw, Tyler Nicely, Kyle Hammer, and UMP Modified track champ Jason Garver scored a guaranteed place in the $10,000-to-win finale.

“This is the best racing surface I have ever been on in my life,” Pedulla said. “I mean, it was top, it was middle, it was bottom. You could race, it slowed down. I could gain on the bottom, (Spalding) was running the top, getting freer and freer. I mean, hats off to whoever figured it out, whoever found this dirt, whoever did it, because it's bad to the bone.

“Anybody who's thinking about coming up here to race (DIRTcar Nationals), come on, because this racetrack is awesome. I mean, it's going to be different again tomorrow. You just got to find the brown. It's so slick in the black that you find brown, you get a little bit of traction, you keep it straight, and that's how I beat them.”

Showdown Feature 2 (15 Laps): 1. 31G-Stephen Pedulla[2]; 2. 29-Chris Spalding[1]; 3. 7-Tyler Nicely[3]; 4. 150-Kyle Hammer[4]; 5. 27-Jason Garver[7]; 6. 07-Eric Moon[6]; 7. 33M-Jeff Mathews[5]; 8. G34-Rob Giffen[9]; 9. 96-Matt Johnson[10]; 10. 21-Devin McLeod[8]

Discount Towing Showdown Feature #3

Kyle Strickler is ready to defend his Reutimann Memorial tractor on Saturday.

The “High Side Tickler” used every inch of the Volusia cushion for 15 laps to win his second consecutive Showdown Feature while fending off a familiar face in national dirt Late Model competition.

Strickler took the lead by driving from the bottom to the top lane as Ethan Dotson and Todd Neiheiser raced each other for second place. Neiheiser got the best of the World of Outlaws driver as Ray Kable and Austin Self held the final transfer spots.

Neiheiser began to struggle around the top of the track, which allowed Dotson to take second place as the No. 72 Elite Chassis felt the pressure of Kable, Self, and Harris fighting for a top-five position.

As Neiheiser and Kable went door-to-door off the exit of Turn 2 on Lap 10, Clay Harris ducked to the bottom of the track and slid clear of the two drivers through Turns 3-4. Ahead of them, Strickler ran away from Dotson by 3.1 seconds to cross the finish line for his fourth visit to Victory Lane at Volusia in 2025.

Dotson punched his ticket to the Redraw with second place as Harris, Kable, and Neiheiser finished with a top five result.

“Now that I’m getting older, it’s more of a technical, old man smart,” Strickler said. “Just winning with your head and not just your right foot. It’s extremely technical, but you can’t complain at all because there’s grip in places and slick in places. So you gotta really pay attention to where you’re at on the racetrack, and it’s extremely racey.

“Even when I got to lap traffic, you can kind of stop and cross over, and it’s not one-lane dominant around the top or right around the bottom. This place is so fast and technical that the new surface has been absolutely great so far, and it’s really smooth.”

Showdown Feature 3 (15 Laps): 1. 8S-Kyle Strickler[1]; 2. 99-Ethan Dotson[2]; 3. 21J-Clay Harris[4]; 4. 23K-Ray Kable[6]; 5. 72-Todd Neiheiser[3]; 6. 23Z-Austin Self[8]; 7. 78-Rich Pratt[5]; 8. 00B-Buzzie Reutimann[7]; 9. 3D-Makayla Tyrrell[9]; 10. (DNS) 22-Ronnie Chance

Discount Towing Showdown Feature #4

Since visiting Volusia behind the wheel of a Beak Built Chassis, Zane Oedewaldt has reached heights he has never seen before 2025.

The Eustis, FL driver added a new accomplishment to his resumé with his first Discount Towing Showdown win in the Reutimann Memorial to gain himself a spot in Saturday’s finale.

Oedewaldt began the 15-lap Feature from Pole Position and took full control of the lead as Dalton Lanich and Josh Sanford followed the No. 11Z around the middle lane.

As Oedewaldt led, Lanich and Sanford raced side-by-side for multiple laps until the No. 3 Modified of Sanford outmatched Lanich around the cushion in Turns 3-4 to gain full possession of second place.

When Sanford owned the position, he bit away at Oedewaldt’s lead by 0.3 seconds each lap to reach his back bumper as the white flag waved. Despite Oedewaldt being stuck behind a lapped car in Turns 3-4, he held off Sanford to take the final checkered flag for the UMP Modifieds on Friday night.

“That would be huge,” Oedewaldt said regarding whether he wins on Saturday. “I mean, these guys come down, this is a (DIRTcar Nationals) crowd, and to be able to run with these guys is just amazing.

“I tell you what, we’d probably pull the motorhome down here, party all night down in the infield, and probably burn this place down. It’s such an honor, Buzzie, David, and all the Reutimanns. To be here and support them, it just means the world.”

Sanford will see Oedewaldt in the Redraw as Lanich, Wade Olmsted, and Billy Uptegraff took the final transfer positions available on Friday.

Showdown Feature 4 (15 Laps): 1. 11Z-Zane Oedewaldt[1]; 2. 3-Josh Sanford[2]; 3. 51-Dalton Lanich[4]; 4. 99W-Wade Olmsted[7]; 5. 10X-Billy Uptegraff[5]; 6. 71A-Andrew Smith[9]; 7. 80-Paul Shead[6]; 8. 99H-Justin Haley[3]; 9. 9-Ken Schrader[8]; 10. (DNS) 66-Joshua Kunstbeck

Up Next: The final night of the Reutimann Memorial begins with UMP Modified Last Chance Showdowns, then the 50-lap, $10,000-to-win Feature will bookend the year at Volusia. Joining the Modifieds will be 604 Late Models and 3/4 Modifieds. Grandstand gates will open at 4 p.m. ET, with Hot Laps beginning at 6 p.m.
