Ross White lead the field to green from the pole position. White
took the lead going into turn 1 over Bradley Lewelling. White
stretched his lead over Lewelling during the first half of the
race. Just past halfway, Weaver took second and began to track
down White. As the leaders caught slower traffic, White got stuck
behind one of the slower cars. Weaver used that to his advantage
move under White and take the lead on lap 20. White fought back
trying to retake the lead on the outside. On lap 24, White pulled
alongside Weaver coming out of turn 4. The drivers made contact
which sent White into the wall at the end of the front stretch.
Weaver cruised the final six laps to take the win. Lewelling finished
second and Skylar Marlar held off Dylan Perry for third.
Colby Horner took the lead from the outside pole position from
pole sitter Jed Emert and never looked back. Emert pressured Horner
for the lead around the midway point of the race. Horner maintained

Pierce Makes First Trip to Smoky Mountain Pay Off!
(March
14, 2025) In 11 previous World of Outlaws Late Models
races at Smoky Mountain Speedway, no driver from the Midwest had
ever rolled into Victory Lane. That was until Bobby Pierce came
to town. In his first trip to Maryville, the driver of the No.
32 led every lap of the Tennessee Tipoff on the way to win number
32 with The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet. (MRM

“A lot went through our minds coming here, thinking if
we could come away with a top 10, that would be good, top five
would be great,” Pierce said. “Definitely would not
have imagined winning this race. I’ve never been here, but
on top of that, it is red dirt, that’s not what I’m
from and everyone knows that. We had a good car, that’s
all I can say.”
Pierce began the 35-lap showdown from the outside of the front
row next to Bilstein Pole Award winner Nick Hoffman. A strong
run around the outside propelled the “Smooth Operator”
to the early advantage while Hoffman raced Devin Moran for second
behind him. |
