Joseph Joiner Wires Southbound Throwdown Finale for $15,000 Win
Smoky Mountain Speedway on April 27 Up Next
MILTON, Fla. (04/15/24) – Joseph Joiner made a clean sweep of Saturday night’s Southbound Throwdown finale to claim the $15,000 top prize with his Base Racing Fuel / Dirt Track Bank Fuel No. 10 Langenfelder Mechanical Contractors / Three Trade Consultants / Longhorn Race Car Super Late Model.
The Florida racer’s winning performance came in Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series action at his home state’s All-Tech Raceway.
“I seen the board there with five or so to go and saw Scott (Bloomquist) was there so I knew I had to go. We were prepared with our tire choice on the way the track ending up going, and we got the jump on Carson (Ferguson) on the start, and from there just hit our marks and everything fell right,” Joiner said in Victory Lane. “I don’t think I took a breath in 30 minutes. We started the year just struggling, but man this team has been working so hard and they are so important to me. There are so many people that have helped us, and I thank them all.”
Joseph Joiner returned to the driver’s seat of the Langenfelder Mechanical Contractors No. 10 Super Late Model over the weekend for the two-day Southbound Throwdown at All-Tech Raceway (Lake City, Fla.).
Drawing 35 Late Models for the third round of the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series (HTFSDS) slate, Joiner claimed the overall fast time honors with an 18.993-second lap in time trials which also secured him the pole for Friday’s $5,000-to-win opener. After leading the opening two laps, Joseph surrendered the lead on the third circuit and went on to place eighth in the 30-lapper.
On Saturday, Joseph again set the pace in time trials against a field of 35 cars before placing first in his heat race. Setting sail at the drop of the green flag in the feature, Joiner led flag-to-flag in the 50-lap affair to claim the $15,000 top prize and his second win of the 2024 season.
He recorded his second career HTFSDS victory ahead of Scott Bloomquist, Carson Ferguson, Brandon Overton, and Chris Ferguson.
Joseph currently sits fifth in the latest series’ standings.

Nick Hoffman Wins Wild WoO Illini Opener at Farmer City
Three-Race WoO Southern Weekend on Tap for Tye Twarog Racing
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (04/15/24) – Nick Hoffman has now won two World of Outlaws (WoO) Late Model Series events in 2024, and he’s done both in thrilling fashion. While his first series’ win of the season saw him capitalize in lapped traffic to surge to the lead on the final lap at Volusia Speedway Park, his most recent venture to the Winner’s Circle found him having to claw his way back to the lead on the final lap.
Hoffman’s thrilling triumph came in photo finish fashion on Friday night at Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway with his Tye Twarog Racing / NOS Energy Drink No. 9 C&W Trucking / Longhorn Chassis / Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model.
The North Carolina racer slid high in turns 3 and 4 on the final circuit trying to keep Bobby Pierce behind him before ultimately slipping off the front stretch coming to the checkers. Somehow, someway he was able to hold on to win by 0.072 seconds.
“I drove into three expecting (Bobby Pierce) to slide me,” Hoffman said of the last lap. “I could watch that video board down the back straightaway and he was close enough and I was like, ‘Surely he’s gonna slide me here.’ So I blew up in there harder than I ran all night and screwed up. Then he did the right thing to try and come across and take my lane away, but I just held ‘er wide and sent ‘er off the front straightaway and luckily we got this horse track out here to run off on. This was definitely one of the wildest wins of my career, and I’m just glad I could get the job done for all the amazing people who support us.”
After losing Thursday’s practice session to Mother Nature, Nick Hoffman finally was able to return to action with the World of Outlaws (WoO) Case Late Model Series on Friday at Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway as the Illinois bullring hosted the annual Illini 100 weekend.
In a field of 45 Super Late Models, Hoffman set a blistering pace in time trials with a 12.395-second lap before leading flag-to-flag in his heat race. With the redraw placing him on the front row for the opener, Nick blew past pole-starting Cade Dillard on the second circuit and built a comfortable lead out front.
After bobbling in turns three and four on the final lap, Hoffman outran Bobby Pierce to the line to secure his second win of the season and the $10,000 payday. He finished 0.072 seconds ahead of Pierce with Dillard rounding out the podium.
On Saturday, Nick backed up the second-fastest qualifying lap in his group with a heat race victory. Starting the $20,000-to-win Illini 100 finale in the third position, Hoffman climbed one spot in the 60-lap affair to register a second-place finish, chasing Bobby Pierce across the line.
“Obviously we would’ve loved to have one again on Saturday, but to come out of this weekend with a win and a runner-up finish is big for our team, and now we are ready for a three-race weekend with the Outlaws,” Hoffman noted.
Nick is currently third in the latest World of Outlaws point standings.
Full results from the events are available at www.WoOLMS.com .
Hoffman has three WoO events on his docket for the upcoming weekend. Action opens on Thursday at Thunderhill Raceway Park (Summertown, Tenn.) with a $10,000-to-win affair before rolling into Talladega Short Track (Eastaboga, Ala.) for a pair of events. Friday’s action includes $4,000-to-win qualifiers, while Saturday’s finale posts a $35,000 top prize.

Carson Ferguson Wins Southbound Throwdown Opener
Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals Kentucky Doubleheader Up Next
LINCOLNTON, N.C. (04/15/24) – Carson Ferguson recorded the $5,000 Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series victory on Friday during the night during the opening round of the Southbound Throwdown aboard his Hoopaugh Grading Company / Paylor Motorsports No. 93 Franklin Enterprises / WP Racing Shocks / Coltman Farms Racing / Longhorn Chassis by Wesley Page Super Late Model.
“We had to get on the brakes there on the first lap because (Mark) Whitener kind of slid across my nose there on the start. I think he thought he had me clear, but I got a run through the center and kind of started a fire under me. I drove real hard and got to the lead and then from there our hot rod just took off,” Ferguson said. “On Saturday night we held second for the first half of the race until I missed the rubber on a restart and (Scott) Bloomquist got past me. We ended up third, and overall it was a good weekend for us.
“We’re going to head to Kentucky this coming weekend to get some laps for the upcoming Lucas Oil (Late Model Dirt Series) event at Ponderosa Speedway.”
Following the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series to the Sunshine State, Carson Ferguson rolled into All-Tech Raceway (Lake City, Fla.) with the Paylor Motorsports crew on Friday afternoon for the opening night of the Southbound Throwdown.
With the night’s program locking in the Top-10 from qualifying times, Ferguson laid down the quickest lap in his group which earned him the outside pole for the A-Main.
Flashing by the polesitter on lap 3, Carson led the final 28 circuits to score the $5,000-to-win opener. In his third-career triumph with the tour, Ferguson outran Mark Whitener and Brandon Overton who joined him on the podium.
With a $15,000 prize up for grabs on Saturday evening, Carson made up one spot in his heat race to score the victory and once again earn the outside pole for the main event.
As the track quickly took rubber in the 50-lap race, Ferguson ran in the runner-up position until a late restart pushed him back to third. Carson trailed Joseph Joiner and Scott Bloomquist at the checkered flag to round out the podium in third.
Full results from the tour's second weekend is available at www.HTFSeries.com.
Ferguson & Paylor Motorsports will invade ‘The Bluegrass State’ this weekend for a pair of Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals events. Friday finds the team at Ponderosa Speedway (Junction City, Ky.) for a $7,553-to-win event, while Saturday will see the action shift to Lake Cumberland Speedway (Burnside, Ky.) for a $10,053-to-win program.

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Win World of Outlaws Weekend Opener in Pevely
Inside Line Promotions - PEVELY, Mo. (April 15, 2024) - Big Game Motorsports driver David Gravel added to his lead in the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series championship standings following a second straight winning weekend.
Gravel won the opening round of the Spring Classic on Friday before placing fourth on Saturday at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55. He currently leads the World of Outlaws standings by 48 points.
The first half of each night mirrored itself with Gravel qualifying second quickest and winning a heat race to advance into the dash both nights. On Friday, he pulled the No. 1 in the dash draw and finished second in the dash to line up on the outside of the front row in the main event.
"The car was good and we took advantage of a good dash draw," he said. "The track was pretty unique I felt. There were a couple of lane choices. We were able to get the car stuck and driving forward. Lapped traffic was interesting. I just tried to be patient and make the right moves and not make any mistakes."
Gravel led all 40 laps for his first victory at the high-banked track since 2016.
"It definitely feels good," he said. "We've been pretty fast there in the No. 2 car. I felt we were kinda due for a win and luckily it came through."
Gravel drew the No. 4 in the dash draw on Saturday and he ended sixth in the race to garner the sixth starting spot in the A Main.
"We tried to do what we did the night before in the dash and it didn't work," he said. "I lost a row there, which was a big deal. It took a while to get going in that feature. If we started fourth we could have potentially been third or second on the first lap. I think Donny (Schatz) started fourth and he won the race. I think at the end of the day we had a car capable of running second and we finished fourth."
The fourth-place result was Gravel's 11 th top five in 13 races this season.
This week's races are Friday at Paducah International Speedway in Paducah, Ky., during the Paducah Sprint Car Showdown and Saturday at Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Ind., during the Haubs Town Showdown. Gravel last raced at Paducah International Speedway in April 2012 when he finished ninth.
"We haven't been to Paducah in a while so I'm looking forward to it and seeing what we can do," he said. "And Haubstadt is a track I've had success at so hopefully we can put together another strong night there."

2024 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Standings: 2nd | 1812 (-48)
Dates: Friday and Saturday, April 12th-13th
Event: Spring Classic
Series: World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series
Track: I-55 (Pevely, Missouri)
Donny Schatz A-Main Finishes (Start):
Friday: 8th (7th)
Saturday: 1st (4th)
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (April 15, 2024) - Ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion, Donny Schatz, put on a show Saturday night at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri, not only conquering the Show-Me State highbanks for a $12,000 payday, but accomplishing said feat in convincing fashion, taking command on lap 11 before stretching his legs to a near-six-second advantage over early race leader, Bill Balog. Lemoore, California’s Carson Macedo would eventually take over the runner-up spot and shrink Schatz’ command, but the damage was already done, as Schatz was well on his way to secure his 313th World of Outlaws triumph - his third at I-55.
Schatz’ winning move occurred when Balog found himself trapped behind a lapper, pulling a perfect slider between turns three and four.
“Sometimes it’s probably better to be in the position where you’re in that second row not knowing what the racetrack is going to do,” Schatz, ace of the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing, Carquest, Advance Auto Parts, Ford Performance, Curb Records, Sage Fruit, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts, Mobil 1, No. 15 sprint car, said. “And I think that was a huge thing tonight. The #41 there he was pretty good on the bottom early, and I couldn’t ever really get down there. I was worried about the hole off of (Turn) 2. Hats off to the whole Carquest team. It was actually a pretty fun race. Normally when we come here it’s up near the fence. And tonight, we could roll around on the fence, on the bottom, kind of anywhere. So that felt really good.”
Donny Schatz and Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing opened their weekend at I-55 with a top-ten performance on Friday, April 12, finishing eighth after starting seventh on the A-Main grid. The Fargo, North Dakota, native is currently second in the World of Outlaws championship standings, trailing David Gravel by a mere-48 markers.
Impressive enough, Schatz’ stat card now includes 12 top-ten appearances in the first 13 World of Outlaws contests, six of which top-fives including a pair of victories.
“If you were near my trailer after qualifying, you probably heard some choice words, so I apologize for that,” Schatz added regarding Saturday, who was 20th quick after qualifying time trials. “It just shows the heart of this team. It’s such a double-edged razor blade some days. We dug out of a huge hole tonight and got a win at a racetrack we typically don’t run well on. We threw two kitchen sinks at it tonight. This place is demanding, and we haven’t been to Victory Lane here in a long time and didn’t really know what the track was going to do. I just went where everybody wasn’t, and it actually felt pretty good.”
ON DECK:
Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing and Donny Schatz will continue their 2024 World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series campaign with a doubleheader in Kentucky and Indiana on Friday and Saturday, April 19-20. The Series will invade Kentucky’s Paducah International Raceway for the first time since 2012 on Friday, April 19, then it’s on to Haubstadt, Indiana’s Tri-State Speedway on Saturday, April 20.
