Sunoco North/South 100

WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 9, 2025) – Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Illinois, moved from the 14th starting spot to win the 43rd Annual Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil on Saturday night at Florence Speedway. Pierce earned $75,000 for the victory.

In the process, Pierce became the first driver in the history of the event to win three years in a row, as he also became the first driver to win four North/South 100s in his career.

Pierce and Jonathan Davenport had a spirited battle for the lead after a lap 52 caution that saw the two competitors get together several times before Pierce was able to pull away. Devin Moran got to second on lap 65 and had a shot at Pierce after a caution came out with eight laps to go, but Pierce was able to get a good restart and drive off for the win.

Moran lost the second spot to Ricky Thornton Jr. on lap 98, and then on the final lap, Davenport was able to secure the last Big River Steel Podium spot as he also got Moran. Moran finished fourth, with Zack Dohm rounding out the top five drivers.

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 28th time in his career and for the fourth time this season, he earned a hard-fought win after starting on the outside of the seventh row.

“I've been in this position before. I was in a bad mood because I didn’t want to start that far back; you know, it’s a lot harder that way. We were coming through the field, and I was worried about my tires. I was spinning really bad in some sections, but then in others, I was really hooked up. It was tough, and once I got to second, I was trying to win the race. I got the job done. I can’t thank my team enough and everyone who helps me out. And thank you to the fans for coming out and watching.”

Pierce was asked in Victory Lane about his battle with Davenport after the lap-52 caution that saw the two drivers go back and forth for the lead, which also included contact between the two.

“It was about halfway through the race, but you want to get the lead as quickly as you can because if the track transitions, you never know what could happen. Last year, here it went to the bottom, and it was really hard to run the top toward the end of the race. So I didn’t want to give anyone that opportunity if I could take it. I was planning to take the lead and just hold on for the rest of the race. Sometimes, it’s a lot easier to lead late in the race than to run in second, especially with a restart where you’re double-file again. Yes, we raced hard—me and JD—and I know he was mad, but it’s just hard racing here.”

Thornton, who got the runner-up spot, took home $25,000 for second and cut Davenport’s point lead to five heading to Batesville, Arkansas, next weekend for the Topless 100.

“I definitely felt like I was running as hard as I could there, and it just wasn’t enough. Bobby’s stuff was really good. I could barely see him in the last couple of laps, so we will go back to the drawing board and try to improve. The track was a little different than it usually is here; typically, the curb isn’t that big—it’s usually against the wall. But this time, it was about a car length off the wall. I feel like we have good speed, though not quite the great speed we had at the start of the year.”

Davenport, who was aiming for his third North/South 100 victory, led 60 of the 100 laps but finished in third place.

“Obviously, he (Pierce) is always right, so I don’t know how to throw sliders, and he does. I won’t sit here and talk bad about him, because he’s really good. We all know the top is going to be very competitive here at Florence, and I was just running my race and keeping my tires under me. I was planning to try and make a run back at him in the last 10 or 15 laps since I knew he was probably going to pass me and be gone, but that’s just how this place races. I have a lot of damage, but I still managed to get back to third.”

WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 7, 2025) – Garrett Alberson and Daulton Wilson both started from the third position and went on to win their 25-lap main events on Thursday night at Florence Speedway, kicking off the Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil weekend.

In the $6,000-to-win opener, Alberson passed race leader Devin Moran on the 21st lap after Moran had led the first 20 laps of the race. Mike Marlar, who finished third and rounded out the Big River Steel Podium, ran in second until Alberson got by him on lap 14. Cory Hedgecock finished fourth, with Hudson O’Neal rounding out the top five drivers.

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in 2025 and for the third time in his career, the Las Cruces, New Mexico native won a hard-fought battle with Moran and Marlar for the win.

“I was a little scared after the early incident in turn one. I didn’t know if the whole left front was knocked out or not. I wonder if that kind of got me all riled up, and I just thought, I’m going to go for it. Devin was building a lot of speed up high, but he started kind of falling into the exit a little, and I could just run right through the crumbs and make up a lot of time.”

Moran, who was looking for his 7th series win of the season, came home in second after leading the first 20 laps of the race. Moran was coming off a $20,000 victory at Florence in June.

“Our car was really good, and then Garrett got by me. We had a great race among the top three. The track was really good tonight; you could run anywhere on it. We'll just work on it some more for tomorrow night and see if we can close the deal and take one spot better.” Moran finished 1.200 seconds behind Alberson at the finish.

Marlar was in the thick of things the whole race, finishing a close third. "We had a good car all night. I could run with Devin through the middle and bottom, and then Garrett got in there. We had a really good race for the lead. It's a great start to the weekend for us."”

Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Max Blair, Donald McIntosh, Carson Ferguson, and Tripp Gerrald.

In the nightcap, Wilson had to outrun the top three-ranked drivers in the nation to earn his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. He led the final 23 laps after getting by Jonathan Davenport early in a lead-swapping battle.

Brandon Overton made a late-race charge after a caution flag with two laps to go to take the runner-up spot, with three-time and defending North/South 100 winner Bobby Pierce rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Brandon Sheppard finished fourth, and Ricky Thornton Jr. completed the top drivers.

Wilson is in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time since winning the final East Bay Winternationals race in February of 2024.

“Man, you know we haven’t been bad, nothing’s gone our way. My awesome car owner said, man, it’s time to come home and take a break, go see your family, just re-group, and that’s what we did. We all went home, took a minute to clear our heads, then we came back, focused, and went to work. We had a really good car last week and a really good car tonight. I thought I had given it away down there on that cushion, but then I thought I was either going to win or wreck.”

Overton, who came out of nowhere before the only caution of the race with 23 laps scored, dived to the inside of the track in the final two laps, coming up just 0.212 seconds short at the finish line.

“When we fired off, I didn’t feel great, but I just calmed down and did what I always do—slow down and drive this thing. I just sat there, ran around, and got into a good rhythm where I could hit the bottom and then squirt up through there. When the caution came out, I didn’t think I was that close; I thought JD was leading and was gone. I didn’t know Daulton was leading, but congratulations to Daulton. It’s a good start to the weekend for us.”

Pierce, who is attempting to become the first driver in the 43-year history of the race to win three consecutive North/South 100s on Saturday night, ran as high as second, briefly took the lead from Wilson, but officially never led a lap as he finished in third.

“I don’t know; I didn’t need the caution because we probably would have finished second. Congrats to Daulton on the win, so we were third tonight. We’ll try to get a better race car tomorrow night. I need to get the thing in the ground a little bit; I am just kind of wheel-spinning.”

Completing the top ten were Zack Dohm, Justin Rattliff, Chris Ferguson, Josh Rice, and Dustin Nobbe.
