2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series | Race Preview | Race 4: Lincoln Speedway
December 2nd, 2024 by Justin Melillo
The fourth race of the 2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series season, powered by iRacing, takes to Lincoln Speedway in the 410 Sprint Cars on Monday night.
This top-level eSports dirt racing series combines a schedule of 10 tracks with two dirt oval disciplines—the series utilizes both the 410 Sprint Car and the Super Late Model—and with an open qualifying series format to allow for anyone to take part in the championship, the new Pro Series has different look than what we’ve seen in past World of Outlaws eSports championships. After the second Late Model event one week ago, JD Brown claimed his first career victory as Kendal Tucker managed to hang onto the points lead over Logan Rumsey.
The driver roster is set each week through the 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-35 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.
The main event will include a 35-lap feature for 21 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.

Last Race:
JD Brown has been a part of the iRacing World of Outlaws rosters for years, and as pointed out by him last week, was more of a points scorer than a win getter. The win finally came for the veteran at Williams Grove Speedway in the third race of the season, and second of the Late Model schedule. Qualifying in the eighth position in qualifying, that inverted Brown to the pole for the feature. Quick Time lap setter Evan Seay was subjugated to starting eighth, but track position was the most important element on Monday night, as Brown went 50-for-50 in laps led en route to his first ever win in the World of Outlaws eSports ranks.
Last Season:
Nearly a year ago today, Kenny Miller continued his winning ways in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series at Lincoln Speedway with his second win at the track, the only driver to do through two races at the venue. Miller won the inaugural race in 2022, then followed that up with sheer domination last season, winning the pole, his heat race, and leading every lap at the 3/8-mile oval in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania.
Track Info:
Lincoln Speedway is a high-banked, 3/8-mile clay oval in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania. The venue “Where Action is the Attraction” has hosted local and national events regularly since 1953, especially including the big names of the World of Outlaws.
Race Format:
These races feature qualifying and heat racing to determine the 21 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 three 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 the top two finishers in each will move on, but no additional points are scored.
Feature races will be 35 laps in the 410 Sprint Car, or 50 laps in the Super Late Model. The Feature winner will score 100 points, making the maximum amount of points on any given night 125 for a pole and Feature win.
