Garrett Alberson secured his second consecutive World of Outlaws Late Models victory at Volusia Speedway Park's Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals, earning his first Gator trophy in the process.

Starting from the pole position, Alberson dominated the 35-lap Feature despite challenging track conditions caused by earlier rain showers. The Las Cruces, NM driver maintained control throughout multiple cautions and restarts, successfully defending against challenges from Mike Marlar early and Bobby Pierce later in the race.

A crucial moment came when Pierce briefly took the lead, but a yellow flag for Nick Hoffman's stopped car reset the field, returning Alberson to the front. He capitalized on this opportunity, pulling away in the final 10 laps to secure the victory.

Bobby Pierce finished second after an intense battle with Ricky Thornton Jr., who ultimately dropped to fifth following contact with the wall. Devin Moran claimed third, continuing his impressive streak of 12 top-five finishes in 14 starts this season. Ethan Dotson finished fourth, taking over the World of Outlaws points lead by four points over Pierce and Sheppard.

Notable Race Outcomes:

• Ethan Dotson became the new World of Outlaws points leader
• Ricky Thornton Jr. maintains Big Gator points lead by 43 points
• Drake Troutman earned the FOX Factory Hard Charger Award, advancing from 29th to 18th
• Max Blair finished as the Lifeline USA Lucky Ninth Place finisher
