  Moran Wins Wild Wieland Winter Nationals Finale at Golden Isles

  WAYNESVILLE, GA (March 7, 2026) - Defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented FloRacing National Champion Devin Moran came from the 22nd starting position to win a wild Wieland Winter Nationals feature on Saturday night at Golden Isles Speedway. Moran, who was the fifth different leader of the 50-lap main event, led the final four laps to pick up the $25,000 victory and close out the Georgia-Florida Speedweeks for 2026. Max Blair, who at one point came from the 25th and last starting position to lead laps 43 through 46, finished second, followed by Garrett Alberson, Clay Harris, and Brandon Overton. Mark Whitener grabbed the lead at the start of the race and led the first 14 laps. The car on the move was 17-year-old Trey Mills, who started seventh and quickly made his way to the front. Mills moved into second by lap five and challenged Whitener before taking the top spot on lap 15. Mills, who was looking for the biggest win of his young career, was holding off 19th-place starter Hudson O'Neal and Brandon Overton until he made contact with the turn-two wall. The impact launched him over the wall and collected second-place-running O'Neal, ending both drivers' nights on lap 42. Blair then picked up the lead and held it until Moran wrestled it away on lap 47. Moran led the rest of the way, winning by 0.826 seconds. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the third time this year and the 27th time in his career, the Dresden, Ohio native picked up his second career win at Golden Isles Speedway. "I don't know what just happened. It's unbelievable and definitely not what we expected after the week we've been having. Honestly, until Trey (Mills) and Huddy got into it, I was thinking maybe we could get a top three. I felt like I was better than Max. I never really saw those guys up front because they were slicing and dicing. Then when they started sliding each other, I knew if I put myself in the right position we could do it. Once they took themselves out, I knew I just needed to get a run." "When Max used the very top to the bottom, I used him up a little bit getting into three, but you can't use the whole race track. You've got to pass one way or the other. I think we are all in shock. Like I said, we have been struggling. We were decent the first night and did okay the second night. Last night we were horrible. We just went back to the basics. We weren't good early, but my car really came to life there in the feature. We found a good line I could run and we just made speed." Blair, who had to use an emergency provisional, nearly pulled off a stunning victory, charging from the 25th and final starting position to lead late in the race before Moran passed him. "He (Moran) is one of the good guys. It's hard to be mad. It just sucks. I think we had a shot at that one. I would have liked to have seen him try to keep it off me like I did him once on that next restart. I didn't do anything stupid. I went in there and raced him through the corner. But he is one of the best there is, so congrats to those guys. He did what he had to do to win and there are absolutely no hard feelings. Hopefully we can keep racing with him and maybe we can beat him every now and then." Alberson had his best finish of Speedweeks as he rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third after pitting during the race for a shredded right-rear tire. "This is huge for our team right here for Speedweeks. This has been one of my toughest tracks historically, and this is by far our best night. Man, what a crazy race, but hats off to Devin and Max. He's been fast all week here. That was the best I have ever been here. These were unique conditions for Golden Isles. It was kind of more like an Illinois track right there. We actually had traction and could move around. That was a crazy race. I am just happy to be here." The winner's Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Millwood Plumbing, C&W Trucking, Bomag, CarSourceAuto.com, Anthony's Pizza, Phillips CPA, Hazen Services, McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Elliott Farms, Haulin' Haskell's, and Pee Wee's Wrecker Service. Completing the top ten were Ricky Thornton Jr., Cody Overton, Brandon Sheppard, Dennis Erb Jr., and Mark Whitener. In the 604 Late Model feature, Ross Bailes of Clover, South Carolina won for the second night in a row, leading all 20 laps in the Farmer's Service Center, JP Environmental, Pursley Grading, GTS by Danny, Clover Racing Transmissions, and A-10 Construction Kenny Lamb Racing Engines-powered Longhorn Chassis. Colton Troullie finished second after starting ninth. Griffin Smith was third, followed by Bubba Whitener and Austin Yarbrough. The 602 Late Model feature went to Griffin Smith of Eatonton, Georgia for the second time this week in the Atlanta Paving and Concrete, The World-Famous Cadillac Ranch, Terminal Maintenance and Construction, Senior Life Insurance, DJ's Performance Engines Rocket Chassis. Smith led all the way to win the 20-lap feature over Cass Fowler, Brayden Johnson, Wyatt Coffey, and John Marshall Pursley.

  Davenport Makes History with 95th Career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Victory

  WAYNESVILLE, GA (March 6, 2026) - Jonathan Davenport made Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing history on Friday night, scoring the 95th win of his career by capturing the 50-lap, $12,000-to-win Wieland Winter Nationals feature at Golden Isles Speedway. With the victory, Davenport becomes the all-time winningest driver in series history, breaking a tie with the late Scott Bloomquist. Tyler Erb rallied from the outside of the seventh row to finish second, followed by Ricky Thornton Jr., Max Blair, and Ethan Dotson rounding out the top five. Blair earned the Hoker Trucking Hard Charger of the Race award after passing 22 cars en route to his fourth-place finish. Brandon Overton raced to the early lead, pulling away with Brian Shirley and Davenport in the opening 10 laps until the first caution flew with 11 laps complete. Overton led the first 14 laps before Davenport cleared him for the top spot on lap 15. Current Midwest Sheet Metal points leader Hudson O'Neal was on the move during the first half of the race, advancing from his 17th starting position to take second on lap 33. A pair of caution flags kept the field tightly bunched, and Erb capitalized by slipping past O'Neal on the bottom groove on lap 41. The final caution waved with 41 of the 50 laps complete, setting up a dash to the finish. With Davenport committed to the high side of the racetrack, Erb searched for speed on the bottom in turns three and four, briefly closing the gap. However, Davenport maintained control to secure his third straight win of the week at Golden Isles and his series-record 95th career victory. Davenport will now attempt a weekend sweep on Saturday night in the $25,000-to-win Wieland Winter Nationals finale. "It was fun for sure tonight. There were a couple of times I had to hit the brake pedal," Davenport said. "I saw him (Brandon Overton) coming, and I got turned back under him. We were just sliding back and forth, and that was definitely a lot of fun. Turns three and four were just a little bit different tonight. I felt like the shelf was more aggressive, and it was starting to rubber right against it. There were a couple of times when I hit it just right that I could roll around there pretty good without being all the way up on it." "One time I went through there really fast and about knocked the wall down. I thought I had a flat because it started vibrating, but I think my stuff was just worn out. Tyler (Erb) must have been really good to get up there. I could see him down there, but after running the top so many laps and hitting my marks, I didn't think he could get a run to the flag stand coming to the white or the checkered and try to slide me." Erb, who started 14th and worked primarily the bottom groove, finished just 0.992 seconds behind Davenport. "I didn't think I was going to catch him following him through three and four, and I felt like one and two were faster around the top," Erb said. "I just committed to running that line. I really didn't want that last caution. I got ahead of Hudson but just didn't have quite enough. Starting 14th and finishing second is pretty good. We'll try again tomorrow. It was a good race." Thornton, who started eighth, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "With 15 to go, I thought if I just finish here it's going to be a good night, and it turned out to be a good night for us," said the 2024 series champion. "I qualified well again. I was really good in the heat race, and overall we just put ourselves in a solid position." Davenport's Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Ace Doran Hauling and Rigging, Nutrien Ag Solutions, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top 10 were Hudson O'Neal, Garrett Alberson, Kyle Bronson, Dillon McCowan, and Garrett Smith. The 15-lap 604 Late Model feature went to veteran racer Ross Bailes of Clover, South Carolina, who drove the Pursley Racing entry to the $1,500 victory. Bailes led all but the opening lap. Griffin Smith, winner of Thursday night's 602 Late Model feature, finished second, followed by Adam Yarbrough, Michael Brown, and Trent Ivey. The $2,000-to-win Crown Vic feature concluded with Hunter Thigpen of Lyons, Georgia, in Victory Lane after Daniel Starner made contact with race leader Johnny Collins on the final lap, sending Collins spinning. Starner was disqualified from the event. Brody Collins was credited with second, followed by Tony Bromley, Adam Chambers, and Daniel Baldwin.

  Davenport Wins Second Straight Wieland Winter Nationals Race at Golden Isles

  WAYNESVILLE, GA (March 5, 2026) - Jonathan Davenport captured Thursday night's Wieland Winter Nationals feature for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Golden Isles Speedway, earning his second consecutive victory at the event. With the win - the 94th of his career - Davenport ties Hall of Famer Scott Bloomquist for the most victories in series history. Hudson O'Neal, the current Midwest Sheet Metal Points Leader, finished second to Davenport for the second straight night. Brandon Overton made a last lap pass on Clay Harris to round out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Harris, who started 13th, finished fourth, while Max Blair advanced from 11th to complete the top five. Davenport, a three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champion like Bloomquist, led all 40 laps en route to the $10,000 victory. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane, he reflected on tying the late Mooresburg, Tennessee driver for the all-time wins record. "I wish he was here so we could talk about it," Davenport said. "He taught me a lot. Scott did - and believe it or not, we talked. Not all the time, but we were acquaintances. At one point, we were more than just rivals. I had a tremendous amount of respect for him, and I think I gained his respect over the years." The Blairsville, Georgia native also reflected on his early success in the series. "I remember my first two Lucas Oil wins with Barry Wright. We went to a new place we had never been before - I think it was Winchester, Virginia - and then the next night I outran Scott at Virginia Motor Speedway for back-to-back wins. It's just awesome, really. I never would have thought I'd get more than those two wins, but to get 90-some is just crazy." Davenport had to fend off mid-race challenges from O'Neal, who never officially led a lap but kept the pressure on throughout the event. "I didn't know where to go on the restarts," Davenport said. "I thought the top was a little better taking off because it gives you more momentum. This place is so wide - if you give up the bottom, you're giving up a lot of real estate. I tried a couple of different things. Hudson got to me in lapped traffic and we slid each other two or three times. He gave me plenty of room. One time I pushed off turn two and almost got into him, but I was trying my best not to. I knew he was going to be one of the cars to beat." O'Neal, who rallied from eighth to finish second on Wednesday night, started fourth and moved into second by lap nine. "There was no way I was going to pass him unless he hit the wall or caught lapped traffic in a bad spot," O'Neal said. "It was very top-dominant, and it was hard to set up a slide job because there was such a strong run off the corner. We're back on the podium again, so we can't complain. We're putting ourselves in good positions if something happens, and we were able to capitalize earlier in the week." Overton's last-lap pass of Harris capped off a hard-fought battle in the closing circuits. "I think our race car is fine - JD's just out front doing his thing, and we're all trying to match his time," Overton said. "You know how this place is - you need some tires at the end of the race. Everybody's driving as hard as they can. Every time I tried to get into a rhythm, somebody would slide me and bottle things up. I spent half the race battling back around cars in turns one and two. It was a frustrating race for me. Congrats to JD and Hudson." The winning Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Ace Doran Hauling and Rigging, Nutrien Ag Solutions, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Ricky Thornton Jr., Dennis Erb Jr., Devin Moran, Dillon McCowan, and Mark Whitener. In the 602 Late Model feature, Griffin Smith of Eatonton, Georgia led all 20 laps to secure the victory. Wyatt Coffey challenged Smith multiple times but settled for second. Phil Pittman finished third, followed by Caleb Gay and Ben Lanford. The Crown Vics once again delivered an exciting feature, with the Collins family dominating the top three positions. Jax Raceways Hall of Famer Johnny Collins led his sons, Chase and Brody, for four laps before Chase took over the lead in traffic. Chase Collins went on to capture his second Crown Vic feature win of 2026, finishing ahead of Johnny Collins, Brody Collins, Tommy Roach Sr., and Kevin Hildebrand.

  Davenport Returns to Victory Lane at Golden Isles with Wieland Winter Nationals Triumph

  WAYNESVILLE, GA (March 4, 2026) - Jonathan Davenport scored his first win at Golden Isles Speedway since February 6, 2016, on Wednesday night, leading all 30 laps of the Wieland Winter Nationals feature for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing. The victory marked Davenport's fifth career win at Golden Isles. He led a hard-charging Hudson O'Neal across the finish line in a caution-free feature — the third such race of the season for the series. Davenport held more than a three-second lead for much of the second half of the race until O'Neal trimmed the advantage to just over a second in the closing laps. Brandon Sheppard, who was seeking his first career win at Golden Isles, finished third, followed by Devin Moran. Max Blair earned the Hoker Trucking Hard Charger of the Race honors, finishing fifth after starting 12th. The win was the 93rd Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of Davenport's career. The Blairsville, Georgia native and three-time series champion captured his first Golden Isles win in 10 years and his first victory of the 2026 season. "It was my first lap led of the year," Davenport said. "It just feels like we could never get any air on the front of this car. I started on the front row in Arizona, but we could never get the start we needed and just didn't have the car to come back to the front. My guys gave me an awesome car tonight, and this one is definitely for them. We wrecked that car on Thursday at Ocala, and they worked their tails off and drove a lot more miles than they should have to fix it." "The race car was awesome tonight. They've done a great job widening the track back out, especially going into turn one. They took a lot of the cup out of turn two, so we didn't have to run up there as much and could let the bottom come in a little bit. The biggest difference was tires — Hudson and I were a little different from the other guys up front. I knew I needed to get the lead and get some clean air." O'Neal, who will enter Thursday night's action as the Midwest Sheet Metal points leader, charged from eighth to finish second. "More than anything, I was following those guys on the bottom, and I felt like I was better than them running sixth or seventh, wherever I was," O'Neal said. "So I moved to the top and started passing a few of them. Then I got back down behind (Mark) Whitener and kept trying to peek under him, but I couldn't quite make it work. I think that was when the top finally cleaned off a little bit, and we started making really good time up there." "I was able to move around, and I thought the race track turned out awesome. We could race all over it with different tire choices — from the softer tires on the inside to literally rubbing the right-rear tire on the wall." Sheppard rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "We finished tonight — that's all I'm going to say," Sheppard said. "The last few nights at Ocala, we had some unfortunate situations, and we had a really fast car there. The track was awesome tonight, our car was really fast, and we had another consistent night." The winning Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Ace Doran Hauling and Rigging, Nutrien Ag Solutions, ASC Warranty, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top 10 were Tyler Erb, Brian Shirley, Mark Whitener, Garrett Alberson, and Brandon Overton. In the companion Crown Vic feature, Brody Collins of Hilliard, Florida, led all 15 laps for the victory. Collins inherited the pole position when his father, Johnny, scratched from the feature due to mechanical issues. Daniel Baldwin finished second, followed by J.O. Nobles, Chase Collins, and Kevin Hildebrand.

  O'Neal Goes Back-to-Back in Wieland Winter Nationals at Ocala

  OCALA, FL (February 28, 2026) - Hudson O'Neal took over the lead on lap 37 after race-long leader Brandon Overton suffered a left-rear flat tire, then led the remainder of the race to win the $25,000 Wieland Winter Nationals 50-lap feature Saturday night at Ocala Speedway. It marked O'Neal's second straight win at Ocala as he led Devin Moran, Tim McCreadie, Jonathan Davenport, and Drake Troutman across the finish line. Overton grabbed the lead at the start of the race with O'Neal, Troutman, and Brandon Sheppard in pursuit. Looking for his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win since last May at Circle City in Indiana, Overton maintained a two-to-three car-length advantage as the top four ran within striking distance during much of the first 15 laps. The top four remained unchanged until Overton slowed under caution with a flat left-rear tire, sending him to the Heartbeat Hot Sauce Hot Pit. O'Neal inherited the lead, and Sheppard moved past Troutman for third on lap 37. Sheppard then advanced to second before suffering a right-rear flat tire with 40 laps complete. Moran moved into the runner-up position as he and sixth-starting McCreadie attempted to chase down O'Neal over the final five laps. However, O'Neal pulled away, crossing the finish line 1.474 seconds ahead to earn his nation-leading seventh win of the season. The victory marked O'Neal's 37th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph. The 25-year-old Martinsville, Indiana native will head to Golden Isles Speedway next week as the series points leader. "I'm speechless right now. I don't even know what to say. What an amazing start to the year for this SSI Motorsports team," said O'Neal. "We have to give credit where credit is due to Kevin Rumley and Longhorn Chassis, who have helped us along the way. It's so awesome to be in this position. When I crossed the finish line, the first word that came to mind was 'speechless.' I just try to give glory to God and do the best we can every day. It wouldn't be possible without all of you fans, these amazing racetracks, and the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series giving us a great place to race." "Even though we had a lot of rain yesterday and it was kind of uncertain today, Bubba and everyone here at Ocala Speedway worked their tails off to give us the best racetrack possible, and it turned out to be pretty good." Moran finished second after starting fifth, continuing his streak of top-10 finishes at Ocala. He has never finished outside the top 10 in LOLMDS competition at the Bubba Clem-promoted facility. "It was a good points night. The 71 car is just a little bit better than we are right now," Moran said. "He can get to the front quicker than we can. I've got to figure out why the only two heat races we've won this year, we've gone on to win the feature that night. We just need to work on our early-night package and start up front more often." "Honestly, Bubba and those guys did a way better job than any of us expected. We all thought it was going to get really rough and be really bad. It had a little chop, but all-in-all they did a great job," added the Dresden, Ohio native, who currently sits second in the championship standings. "If I was going to pass Hudson, it was going to have to come from his mistake — maybe if he got over the banking in turns three and four or pushed up into the wall in one and two. I was trying to stay close but also avoid flat tires or hurting the engine. We went four-for-four on the podium here this week, and I can't complain." McCreadie, Thursday night's Hoker Trucking Hard Charger of the Race, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third during Saturday's finale. "It stayed pretty tacky the whole time. Hats off to Bubba and his guys — they could have easily written it off and quit because it was such a big purse. I don't think anybody would have blamed them, but they worked hard, and I hope we did it justice for everyone tonight. It was about all you could get tonight." The winning SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by Clements Racing Engines 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, Seven Spurs Ranch, Indiana USSSA Fast Pitch Softball, Sunoco Race Fuels, and Lucas Oil Products. Completing the top 10 were Brendan Smith, Max Blair, Kyle Bronson, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Clay Harris.

  O'Neal Captures Thursday Night Victory at Wieland Winter Nationals in Ocala

  OCALA, FL (February 26, 2026) - Hudson O'Neal passed race-long leader Kyle Bronson on lap 14 and never looked back, capturing Thursday night's Wieland Winter Nationals feature for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing at Ocala Speedway. O'Neal, who started ninth, earned $10,000 for his second career victory at Ocala. Devin Moran finished second, followed by Bronson, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Tim McCreadie. Despite a late-race caution with three laps remaining, O'Neal maintained control and crossed the finish line 0.924 seconds ahead of Moran. The win marked O'Neal's 36th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory and his sixth overall triumph of the season - a total that leads the nation. With the win, he also takes over the series points lead heading into Friday night's $12,000-to-win main event. "It got latched up pretty early, and I was a little nervous," said the Martinsville, Indiana native. "I was trying to use the right front and not the right rear, keeping the right rear underneath me. I wanted to make sure I didn't have a flat, especially as hard as I was going to have to run after that last caution to get away from them. It's pretty awesome to get one here in the middle of the week. Hopefully, this is what's to come for the rest of the week. "It's been a really good year so far, and I am very blessed in that aspect of life." Moran, the defending series champion, came home second after starting seventh. "I was just holding on. I didn't have much tire left," Moran said. "Like I said last night, it doesn't matter what the track conditions are here at Ocala — I love coming here. In three nights, I've got three podiums. We just need to work on our early program again. We were good early in the week, but we kind of made the wrong calls the last night or two. We'll get back to our notebook and figure out what we can do the rest of the week." Bronson, who led the opening 13 laps, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium despite battling handling issues. "It's definitely good to run well. We had a really good race car, but the bumper got knocked off on the left front when I hit the wall on the first lap," Bronson said. "I think me and JD got tight there — maybe he clipped the right rear quarter panel. I'll have to watch the video. Hopefully he's okay. I want to thank my guys for not giving up on me.

  Sheppard Returns to Wieland Winter Nationals Victory Lane at Ocala

  OCALA, FL (February 25, 2026) - It took Brandon Sheppard nine years to return to Victory Lane at Ocala Speedway, but on Wednesday night the New Berlin, Illinois driver captured the 30-lap Wieland Winter Nationals feature for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing. Sheppard earned his third career victory at Ocala and his first since 2017, driving the Rocket 1 to a 0.583-second win over Hudson O'Neal. Devin Moran finished third, with Brandon Overton and Clay Harris rounding out the top five. Kyle Bronson powered around the outside of the front row to grab the early lead, with Sheppard settling into second. Bronson, who was seeking his first Lucas Oil Series win since the 2021 Silver Dollar Nationals, maintained a steady two-car-length advantage through the opening laps. However, as he exited Turn 4 to complete Lap 6, Bronson suddenly slowed with apparent drivetrain issues. Sheppard, closing quickly on the bottom, made slight, unavoidable contact as Bronson decelerated. The caution flag waved as Bronson headed to the hot pit, ending his night. Sheppard inherited the lead, with O'Neal and Overton in pursuit until a caution on Lap 18 reset the field. Two laps after the restart, Moran slipped past Overton for third. The final 10 laps featured an intense three-car battle as Sheppard, O'Neal, and Moran navigated heavy lapped traffic. Both challengers closed in, but Sheppard cleared a slower car on the white-flag lap, giving him just enough breathing room to secure the win at the checkers. The victory marked Sheppard's 37th career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series triumph. He also broke a tie with Don O'Neal for fourth place on the all-time Georgia-Florida Speedweeks win list with his 25th victory. "It felt good to see the checkered flag," Sheppard said. "We definitely had some stuff messed up on the front end from the contact with Kyle. I felt terrible about that. It looked like he missed it a little bit, and I was filling the gap on the bottom when we came together. I hate that for him, but we had a really fast car again tonight. It was just one of those deals where we got out front. My dad said last night I was messing around too much in lapped traffic, so this one's for him." With the win, Sheppard became the winningest Rocket 1 driver during Georgia-Florida Speedweeks over the last 25 years, earning his 11th victory and breaking a tie with Josh Richards. "I was running a different line in Turns 1 and 2 than I expected," Sheppard added. "I would enter on the bottom and slide across the middle. I kept waiting for it to change because I knew it might go away at some point. I felt good on both the bottom and the top and was just trying to maintain speed. With the front end being jacked up, it was wherever the car put me. Turns 3 and 4 were tougher because I needed to carve down the hill and come off lower and straighter, and I struggled with that late in the race." O'Neal, who was seeking his second career win at Ocala, closed the gap in the final laps but settled for second. "Sheppy had a good race car," O'Neal said. "I felt like we were pretty maneuverable and could really build momentum down the back straightaway. The longer the race went, the better I felt. I gained on him late, and lapped traffic definitely played a factor. I got caught behind Ross (Robinson), and I just wasn't able to capitalize with a lap or two to go." Moran, who started eighth, advanced to third on Lap 20 and joined the late-race battle to round out the Big River Steel Podium. "I felt like my car was really good again," Moran said. "I jumped the cushion in the heat race, got into the wall, and let Hud get by me, and that really dictated our night. You have to start up front here. I know they're working hard on the track night in and night out, and I'm sure they'll have it figured out by the end of the week."

  Moran Repeats Wieland Winter Nationals Opening Night Win at Ocala

  OCALA, FL (February 24, 2026) - Devin Moran repeated his performance from one year ago, capturing the opening night of the 2026 Wieland Winter Nationals at Ocala Speedway on Tuesday night. The caution-free 30-lap feature took just eight minutes to complete. Moran, the defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion, took the lead on lap 14 from race-long leader Brandon Sheppard and went on to pace the final 16 circuits, earning his fourth career victory at Ocala. Sheppard, who was seeking his first Ocala win since 2017, finished second, followed by Clay Harris, Brandon Overton, and Hudson O'Neal. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 26th time in his career, Moran earned $7,000 for the win. "No, honestly, Sheppy took off hard there. The dirt's not hard, but it's definitely a little gritty. I feel like you build a little bit of heat, so I was just trying to bide my time," Moran said. "I know how this place is when you get to lapped traffic, and if you can maneuver, you're going to be really good. My guys provided me with a Longhorn Chassis that could move anywhere on the race track, on either end. So, it was really cool." Regarding his second win of the season — both coming in caution-free features — Moran discussed his approach to long green-flag runs. "Honestly, I've always been better on long green-flag runs. I'm able to find a rhythm and places on the track where I can make speed, and that's what I did the whole race," he said. "When you have a car you can maneuver through traffic, it's so fun. If you have one you can't, it just makes it tough. Bubba (Clem) and those guys did a great job giving us a track you could move around on. I just love being in Florida for the month." Sheppard, who set overall fast time and won his heat race, was looking to complete a clean sweep of the night but settled for the runner-up finish. "I think we had a really fast car capable of winning the race," Sheppard said. "Congrats to Devin — he did a really good job there. I pretty much gave it away in lapped traffic. I was trying to figure out where I could pass those guys because I hadn't passed anyone yet. I went to the top one lap, and Devin was on me and made the most of it." Harris, who scored two podium finishes last week at All-Tech, opened the week at Ocala by rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. "It's a lot more fun when you can run up front to start off the year," Harris said. "We definitely struggled last year — switching cars, switching teams — and I didn't have much crew help at the beginning of the season. We've got a good team this year, good equipment, and good cars. I could run the bottom and kind of maintain, but I couldn't really make the top work — it would just fall off."

  O'Neal Outduels Overton in Saturday's Wieland Winter Nationals at All-Tech

  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."

  Moran Dominates Friday's Wieland Winter Nationals at All-Tech

  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."

  Sheppard Takes Wieland Winter Nationals Opener at All-Tech Raceway

  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.
