WoO Late Models Week 2

The second round of the 2023 iRacing World of Outlaws ButtKicker Late Model Series took to Fairbury Speedway on Monday night, with 2019 series champion Blake Matjoulis scoring his first victory of the season by only a car length ahead of last week’s winner and defending champion Evan Seay. It wasn’t a complete déjà vu moment for Seay, who finished second in a close battle in 2022’s trip to Fairbury. It was, however, the first victory Matjoulis in the series since Kokomo Speedway in 2022, another race where he beat Seay.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Thursday Fixed- New Hampshire

Justin- P33, made it to about half way. i suck again stun out on the out side lane my fault hit just right and junked my car.

Friday Open – New Hamshpire

  • Mike -.  P dqd out. Lap 56. I couldn’t miss anything.
  • David – p2 top split.  Broadcasted.  Lot of dirty driving in this race.
  • Rochette P14 i hate NH and will always hate this track i dont remember what i did that how much this track sucks
  • Donnie – P26, This was the worst

Saturday Fixed- Justin -p6, ran with Mr. tom. He always has good strat. took it easy the first half stayed near the back got a 10x with no damage so that was disappointing. I did spin out on the outside i do that at least once a race Just stayed in it to the end cycled to the front. 5 lap run went from p9 to p6

Sunday Open

  • Hall – p wrecked.  Dumped on lap 1, car sucked from that point on.  Then caught up in someone else recovering from avoiding a wreck.
  • Donnie – P9

Wednesday Open: Pocono

  • Mike- p 17- what is run in fourth on the final green white checker got dive, bombed in taken out and moved to the rear of the pack. 
  • David – p wrecked on lap seven on the damn straight.  Over drove trying to get back and self spun the car. I’m done driving people clean
  • Justin – p dont know , ran top 10 the whole race 6 to go a car came across mikes nose then spun up and got me. Race Over
  • Chris – P18 – We have a new 7 week old baby racer at home. Not getting much seat time and it shows. 
  • Stephen louallen- wrecked out
  • Tom -p18
  • Tyler – P27- Caught in a wreck on lap one as the dive bombing began early. Regrouped and fixed the car. Had a great set as the team made a few adjustments. Shout out to Kyle on the main set and Joe with the in race adjustments. Car was wicked fast and fun to drive. Contact possibly a net code on white to put my top 15 car back in 27th. Frustrated with the result but just glad to be fast. 

Thursday Open  

  • David – p 15 top split up and down race, fell to the back early cause of a series of 3 wrecks that didn’t bring out a caution.  I slowed, most didn’t and a guy turned across my nose.  Later trying to work way back up, another multi accident situation, 3 or the 4 wrecks don’t bring out a caution.  I don’t back out, fail to miss, but not severe damage, stay out, gain a lot of track position over other hurt cars, and finish 15th.
  • Mike – was running bit with 12 to go. They beat getting on pit row that I can’t decide and I hit the barrels for minutes damage.

Rochette P16 been awhile.since i raced on a thursday. Unlike my dominate win last year in the Dorito shaped track today i was getting slammed bammed and shammed whole race. Was running 9th on thr white when guys wanted to wreck on the back and i got ran over
