World of Outlaws iRacing Pro Series | Tournament Preview | The Dirt Track at Charlotte Season Finale

The World of Outlaws iRacing Pro Series returns one last time for the tenth and final race of the 2025-26 season on Monday night. This series contained 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 had an open qualifying series format to allow for anyone to take part in each round of the championship. Now, it all comes down to one race, not only for the titles on the line, but for many in the field, they’re eyeing a large cash prize for scoring the Tournament victory.

For races 1 through 4, and 6 through 9, the driver roster was set each week through the Pro Qualifying Series races that are open to all iRacing members with a Class A Dirt Oval license. This time, however, the list of drivers was taken from the Dirt Super Late Model standings on the season, with the top-60 eligible points scorers earning an invite to the festivities. With 60 drivers entered, the format is slightly adjusted, but the points scoring remains the same. Both the Dirt SLM and Overall Championship is set to conclude, plus there will be money on the line, with the Tournament race winner collecting $6,000. Any of these 60 drivers could claim that prize.

The Pro Series field will take on The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the final event of the season. The main event will include a 50-lap feature for 22 cars that qualify in through qualifying, heat races, and last chance showdowns. Joey Lingron leads Logan Rumsey by 48 points for the overall title entering. Rumsey is looking to go back-to-back. Lingron hopes to take it, with or without a victory this season. In the Segment, Blake Matjoulis looks to hold on against Ethan Johnson, the two separated by 13 points.

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.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

These races feature qualifying and heat racing to determine the 22 drivers that will compete in the main race. It will be slightly different than the four opening rounds.

What stays the same is that the top-eight qualifiers will immediately transfer to the feature. The driver who sets the fastest time in Qualifying scores 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 Tournament Feature Race 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 six heat races of eight laps each, adding two from the previous rounds. In these Heats, however, only the top-two finishers will advance forward through to the main event. Heat races still 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 for those who don’t advance through Qualifying or the Heat races where only the winner in each will move on, but no additional points are scored.

The Feature race will still be set at 50 laps, and 22 drivers will still line up on the grid from the 60 potential entries. The Feature race winner will score 100 points, making the maximum number of points on any given night 125 for a pole and Feature win. This race also offers a purse of $11,000, as the two Tournaments offer the biggest payouts of the year. The winner at the end of the night pockets $6,000, with cash paid out through the top-five finishers and sixth through tenth earning iRacing Credits.

TRACK INFO

A 4/10-mile dirt track located across the street from its big sister – the Charlotte Motor Speedway, The Dirt Track at Charlotte was built in 2000, and hosts many weekly dirt series throughout the year, such as UMP Modifieds, Dirt Late Models, and Sprint cars. The World of Outlaws dirt series have held their finals at the Dirt Track at Charlotte as well. TDU Charlotte has served as the finale to the World of Outlaws iRacing Pro Series for many a season, including this one.

LAST RACE

Becoming the ninth different winner in nine races, Hunter Rich stated in virtual victory lane that Fairbury wasn’t one of his better tracks, more or less. The latest new winner had to fight for it, going up against the likes of Jesse Newsome, Ethan Johnson, Caleb Durgan, and Tucker Elkins. Elkins had a similar race last season, leading early before falling off. This played into Rich’s hands, as he was able to capitalize on the changing track and the lines of the competitors around him to take the lead, and ultimately take the win.

LAST SEASON

Most people won’t remember that Camden Johnston put on a clinic in last year’s event at The Dirt Track at Charlotte. In a similar scenario, Logan Rumsey was the center of attention, needing to finish just well enough to stave off Kendal Tucker for the 2024-25 title. Rumsey did just that, finishing in fifth as Tucker wasn’t even able to qualify for the Feature. This year, Rumsey sits on the opposite end, down an amount of points to Joey Lingron entering the finale.
