The tenth and final race of the 2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series season, powered by iRacing, takes to The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Monday night, taking on the Super Dirt Late Model for the final competition on the calendar.
This top-level eSports dirt racing series combined a schedule of 10 tracks with two dirt oval disciplines—the series utilizes both the 410 Sprint Car and the 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.
The driver roster was set each week through the Qualifying Series races that are open to all iRacing members with a Class A Dirt Oval license, with the qualifying races running on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET the week prior. This week’s roster is the final 35-driver roster made up of those Qualifying Series results from last week.
The main event includes a 50-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:
Logan Rumsey made a statement last week at Eldora Speedway. After missing out on the top-eight in qualifying, Rumsey was placed in the second Heat, where he was able to take the victory, placing him 10th on the grid for the Feature. Immediately in the main event, Rumsey worked his way towards the front, getting as high as third before he stalled out momentarily. Ahead of him, the leaders tangled, which didn’t bring out a yellow, but did allow the points leader to get by and take his third win of the season. Championship rival Kendal Tucker also put on a show, falling down to a Last Chance Race. From there, he moved from 18th on the grid to collect his ninth-straight top-10 finish in all nine races this season, which kept his title hopes on life support entering the finale.
Last Season:
Back in September of 2023, drama filled the air in the final race of the 2023 World of Outlaws Late Models season. Evan Seay entered the night the favorite for the title, but there was a chance he could lose it in the worst-case scenario. That scenario almost played out, and eerily enough, it involved the two title fighters going for gold on Monday night in 2025—Logan Rumsey and Kendal Tucker. As Seay was sidelined from an early incident, the championship laid in his teammate, Blake Matjoulis’s hands. If Matjoulis was able to win, neither Rumsey or Tucker could get enough points to steal the title. Tucker started second, but was mired in the mid pack, ultimately finishing seventh. Rumsey, on the other hand, was able to work his way up from the 17th starting spot to be on the leader’s back bumper at the white flag. Rumsey couldn’t get there, however, and Seay claimed the title by one single point.
Championship Outlook:
The 2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series season, which has contested in both the Late Models and Sprint Cars, comes down to one last Late Model battle on Monday night. Logan Rumsey enters the evening as the favorite, with a 78-point cushion over second place Kendal Tucker. Both drivers have qualified into the field, so the math gets interesting depending on how they do. The maximum amount of points on the table is 125 points, should a driver win the pole, invert to eighth, and then fight to take the victory in the Feature.
The magic number for Rumsey is to just make the Feature through the Heat. No matter what, his minimum points would be 51, which would be enough should Tucker score max points. If Rumsey misses the Feature, then depending on how many points that either driver gets in their Heat, Tucker would likely need a solid top-five to take the title. Anything can and will happen, and has in previous seasons here at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, so stay tuned.
Track Info:
A 4/10-mile dirt track located across the street from its big sister – the Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Dirt Track at Charlotte was built in 2000 and hosts many weekly dirt series throughout the year, such as the UMP Modifieds Dirt Late Models and Sprint cars. The World of Outlaws Dirt Series have held their finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte as well.
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 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.
