World of Outlaws iRacing Pro Series | Race Preview | Race 3 at Williams Grove Speedway

The World of Outlaws iRacing Pro Series returns on Monday night for the third race of the 2025-26 season. Once again, the series contains a schedule of 10 tracks with two dirt oval disciplines—split among the 410 Sprint Car in the first half, and the Super Late Model in the second—and has an open qualifying series format to allow for anyone to take part in each round of the championship. One of the biggest differences this season is the inclusion of two Tournament events at the end of each half of the season, race no. 5 and 10 on the schedule, which will not have a Pro Qualifying Series the week prior, but rather, the top point scorers over the season will be invited to participate.

For races 1 through 4, and 6 through 9, the driver roster is set each week through the Pro Qualifying Series races that are open to all iRacing members with a Class A Dirt Oval license. These qualifying races will run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET, and the top-40 point scorers will be invited to the iRacing World of Outlaws Pro Series league each week for the Monday night main event. After the Monday show, the league is cleared out, and the process begins again. Points will be tracked as normal across those 10 main events to crown the series champion.

For the third race of the season, the Pro Series field will take on Williams Grove Speedway. The main event will include a 35-lap feature for 22 cars that qualify in through qualifying, heat races, and last chance qualifiers. The action starts at 8:00 p.m. ET and it will be live on DIRTVision and across all of iRacing’s social media channels.

RACE FORMAT

These races feature qualifying and heat racing to determine the 22 drivers that will compete in the main race.

The top-eight qualifiers will immediately transfer to the feature. Pole winners score 25 points, second place scores 23 points, and points are paid out through the transfer spots to eighth, who will receive 17 points. When the feature begins, the top-eight will invert, with the pole sitter starting eighth and the eighth place qualifier starting on the pole.

For everyone else who does not qualify in, there will be four heat races of eight laps each, where the top-three finishers will advance forward through to the main event. Heat races also pay out points to all drivers, with the winner scoring 15 points and ninth place taking home seven points.

There will also be two 12-lap consolation races where only the winner in each will move on, but no additional points are scored.

Feature races will be 35 laps in the 410 Sprint Car section of the schedule. The Feature winner will score 100 points, making the maximum number of points on any given night 125 for a pole and Feature win.

TRACK INFO

Harkening back to an era when America’s dirt tracks were as much a part of county fairs and amusement parks as peanuts and cotton candy, Williams Grove Speedway is located in south central Pennsylvania adjacent to the amusement park established by the Williams family in the 1850s.  It was not until the late 1930s, however, that Emmett Shelley convinced the owners of Williams Grove Park to build a speedway across the street, a half mile dirt track that has since become inextricably woven into the DNA of American racing.

Williams Grove has hosted virtually every major national touring series on two and four wheels, from the American Automobile Association to the American Motorcyclist Association, the United States Auto Club and the National Association for Stock Car Racing to the World of Outlaws.  Equally, the roll call of Williams Grove winners begins with the legendary Tommy Hinnershitz (winner of the first race on May, 21, 1939) and encompasses names like Ted Horn, Gordon Johncock, Herb Thomas, Lynn Paxton, Jan Opperman, Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell not to mention Keith Kauffman, Fred Rahmer, Lucas Wolfe, Lance Dewease, Donny Kreitz Jr. and other members of the “Pennsylvania Posse.”

Likewise has Williams Grove featured nearly every category of dirt car racing during its weekly schedule, from “big cars” and jalopy and street stocks, midgets, Grand National stock cars and dirt Champ Cars to late models, super modifieds and, most notably, and sprint cars.  The track stages a World of Outlaws v Pennsylvania Posse competition for the Morgan Cup each spring while October brings the $75,000-to-win World of Outlaws National Open.

LAST RACE

Last week, a new name emerged at the top of the pylon and standings for the first time. Landon Cardoza was able to finally break through into the World of Outlaws iRacing Pro Series victory lane at Huset’s Speedway after a thrilling battle against Blake Carrick and the defending series champion, Logan Rumsey. Carrick held the lead until the closing laps, where Cardoza was able to get through. Rumsey followed through, right on Cardoza’s tail, but Cardoza was able to hang on, also claiming the points lead for the Pro Series after two weeks of racing.

LAST SEASON

In the 2024-25 season, the Williams Grove battle was contested with the Super Late Models, that race won by JD Brown. It’s been just over two years since the series took on Williams Grove in the 410 Sprint Car, and on that day, it was Timothy Smith breaking the Alex Bergeron train in dominant fashion.
