Carson Macedo aims to defend his perfect record at Kennedale, where he led every lap during last year's Series debut. Currently tied for second in points, Macedo has already secured a win in 2025 and boasts five top-five finishes this season.

David Gravel continues his impressive championship defense with an outstanding 2.13 average finish through eight races. He's claimed three victories in the last four events and maintains a 56-point lead in the standings.

Michael "Buddy" Kofoid has bounced back from early season struggles, posting five consecutive top-10 finishes with Roth Motorsports. His recent fourth-place finish at Magnolia shows promising momentum.

Logan Schuchart and Shark Racing maintain their strong 2025 campaign, with four podium finishes already this season. Despite recent nose wing damage at Magnolia, Schuchart managed to secure another top-five finish.

Rookie Update:

  • Chris Windom has found momentum with three recent top-10 finishes
  • Cole Macedo leads rookies with two top-five performances
  • Zach Hampton achieved his first World of Outlaws top-10 finish
  • Skylar Gee secured his first top-10 of the season at Talladega

Expected competitors include local favorite Sam Hafertepe Jr., who won at Kennedale with the Elite Outlaw Sprint Cars last year, along with out-of-state challengers Emerson Axsom and Anthony Macri making their Kennedale debuts.

The event marks a significant return to Texas, where the World of Outlaws originated on March 18, 1978, at Devil's Bowl Speedway, establishing the state's lasting connection to "The Greatest Show on Dirt."
