World of Outlaws Gettysburg Clash

The Roth Motorsports pilot slips by Gravel and survives Macedo’s last gasp at Lincoln for his Series-leading fifth win of the year

The Pennsylvania Posse prevailed in 2025, but the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car drivers came out swinging in 2026.

Abbottstown, PA’s Lincoln Speedway served as the battlefield on Tuesday night as the Gettysburg Clash renewed the sport’s most storied rivalry. The World of Outlaws travelers came into the year looking for vengeance after being bested by PA last season, and that’s exactly what they got in round one.

Michael “Buddy” Kofoid charged from outside the second row and snatched the top spot from polesitter David Gravel with a Lap 19 slide job. Gravel returned the favor, but a fortuitous yellow flag for Kofoid flew as the lap hadn’t been completed after Gravel got back around him. That handed the lead to Kofoid for the restart, and he capitalized.

The Penngrove, CA native wheeled away, but Carson Macedo began to close in on the tail tank of the Roth Motorsports No. 83 in the final laps. Kofoid slipped off the bottom while struggling with traffic in the final set of corners and opened the door, but Macedo’s run to the checkered came up just short as Kofoid narrowly held on.

“I didn’t really see Carson,” Kofoid explained. “I think I maybe heard him after the white (flag) into (Turn) 1. I couldn’t tell what the lapper was going to do. I got a really good run on him, and it looked like he was going to go high then he swooped down. I tried to stay in clean air and kind of missed it and tried to scramble to drive back across.”

Kofoid and the Roth crew now lead the tour in 2026 trips to Victory Lane as Lincoln is their fifth. The 24-year-old’s second Lincoln score makes him the 12th competitor with multiple victories at the track nestled in the Pigeon Hills. His 27th career win with The Greatest Show on Dirt puts him in a three-way tie with Paul McMahan and Tim Shaffer for 26th all-time.

Macedo’s second-place finish was his second straight runner-up in the Jason Johnson Racing No. 41. He also continues to hold the second spot in the standings.

Chase Dietz moved the Stehman Motorsports No. 23D up to third late to make sure the PA Posse had a presence on the podium.

David Gravel and Danny Dietrich completed the top five.
