Bobby Pierce secured his 33rd career victory with the World of Outlaws Late Models at Swainsboro Raceway's Battle of the Crossroads, further extending his points lead in the series.

Starting from the Bilstein Pole Position, Pierce faced early drama when a massive pileup occurred behind him on lap one, involving Tristan Chamberlain and multiple other cars. After the restart, Pierce maintained control while Team22 Motorsports teammates Drake Troutman and Chris Madden battled for second position.

Ryan Gustin charged from 10th to challenge Pierce, getting within half a second before a late caution with four laps remaining. Pierce executed a perfect restart to secure the win in his Swainsboro debut, while Gustin finished second despite racing with a damaged front bumper.

Notable performances included:

• Drake Troutman finishing third, taking the lead in the MD3 Rookie of the Year chase
• Cory Hedgecock placing fourth
• Wil Herrington achieving a career-best fifth place finish
• Ethan Dotson earning the FOX Factory Hard Charger Award, advancing from 23rd to ninth

The track conditions evolved throughout the night, transitioning from a bottom-dominant surface in the preliminary races to a high-groove preference during the Feature.

The World of Outlaws Late Models continue at Swainsboro Raceway with a $15,000-to-win main event on Saturday, March 22.
