The World of Outlaws roll into Ohio for a three-night stand that starts Thursday at Wayne County Speedway ($12,000) and builds to the $57,000 57 Special finale at Mansfield on Saturday. At least 20 of the DLM top-23 are expected at Mansfield, including Bobby Pierce on a two-race win streak, Hudson O'Neal (the hottest driver in the sport over the last 30 days), and Nick Hoffman (8 top-5 finishes in his last 11 starts).

Mansfield's 4/10-mile oval hasn't hosted a national tour since 2019. Kyle Moore won the track's only 2026 Super Late Model feature so far, an American Late Model Iron Man Series event on May 15 that drew 28 entries. The 57 Special should bring the biggest field at Mansfield in years.

Wayne County opens the swing Thursday night. The 3/8-mile oval is Kyle Moore's home track, where he's been the dominant winner over the last several seasons and has won the last two features. The full Outlaws contingent plus the Ohio regulars are expected to produce a strong field for the $12,000 Lonewolf 40, the biggest to-win purse at Wayne County in 2026 and the track's first Late Model race of the season.
