Bobby Pierce Racing

Bobby made World of Outlaws Late Model Series history Saturday night, winning the $25,000 Hawkeye 100 at Maquoketa (IA) Speedway to record his 19th series victory of the season and set a new mark for the most wins in a single year.

Starting from the outside of the front row, Bobby wasted little time taking command of the 60-lap feature. He completed a slide job entering turn four on the opening lap to grab the lead before an early caution on lap three regrouped the field.

Another caution on lap 14 briefly interrupted Bobby’s momentum after he encountered lapped traffic with a half-second advantage, but each restart only strengthened his grip on the race.

By lap 17, Bobby had stretched his lead to 1.2 seconds before another yellow slowed the field.

Once racing resumed, the No. 32 machine steadily pulled away.

Bobby opened a 2.5-second advantage by lap 25 and continued to increase the margin as the race wore on. He led by 2.8 seconds three laps later before extending the gap to three seconds on lap 35.

The separation only continued to grow.

By lap 36, Bobby’s lead had reached 3.5 seconds. As the closing laps ticked away, he continued to put distance between himself and the field, stretching the advantage to 3.8 seconds on lap 51, four seconds one lap later, and 4.5 seconds with five laps remaining.

Bobby crossed the finish line 4.7 seconds ahead of the competition to secure the victory in dominant fashion and etch his name into the World of Outlaws record book.

“I never thought that would have happened,” Bobby said of setting the single-season wins record. “It took me forever to get an Outlaw win until 2021. It was a hard time getting it.”

“Once we did, and once we started running this series, they just started coming. I can’t thank everyone enough that’s got me to this point, whether it’s my family or any crew I’ve ever had, and a lot of dedication from everybody, and sponsors, and all the fans for the support. It takes so much to keep this thing going.”

After years of building one of Dirt Late Model racing’s most consistent programs, Bobby reflected on what the accomplishment meant.

“We’re definitely going to soak it in,” he said.

Bobby also credited the versatility of his race car, which allowed him to adapt to every groove around the speedway.

“The car felt awesome,” he said. “This thing went around the track phenomenal. You always love it when a car gives you the chance to try numerous lines. I could go bottom. I could go top. I could kind of roll the middle, or kind of go up, bump the cushion, turn down the hill, and go.”

The victory placed Bobby alone atop the World of Outlaws record book for most series wins in a single season, another milestone in an already unforgettable 2026 campaign.

Bobby continued his winning ways Tuesday night, claiming the $20,000 FloRacing Night in America victory at Marshalltown (IA) Speedway for his 25th triumph of the 2026 season.

Starting fourth in the 50-lap feature, Bobby wasted little time working his way toward the front. He slid into second entering turn one on the opening lap and immediately set his sights on the race leader.

With 39 laps remaining, Bobby pulled alongside the leader down the backstretch and completed a slide job entering turns three and four. The leader answered with a crossover move to reclaim the top spot, but Bobby remained firmly in contention.

The decisive pass came just three laps later.

As the leader drifted high entering turn one while approaching lapped traffic, Bobby seized the opportunity and drove underneath to take command with 36 laps to go.

A caution one lap later erased his early advantage, but Bobby remained in control on the restart.

Another caution with 16 laps remaining again brought the field back to his rear bumper, yet Bobby quickly settled back into rhythm and began pulling away over the closing stages.

By the time the race reached four laps to go, Bobby had stretched his lead to 2.3 seconds. He continued to build on that advantage, crossing the finish line 2.7 seconds ahead of the field to secure the win.

“I didn’t want a caution to happen while I was in second,” Bobby said. “I wanted to get the lead, but definitely give it a little time to not burn my edges off.”

Once out front, Bobby said his race car was exactly what he needed around the Iowa oval.

“The car was good,” he said. “It was a dream to drive this car. Definitely just love the way it felt around here. Shout out to Longhorn Dynamics and the chassis shop. Everyone working hard back there at Longhorn.”

The victory marked Bobby’s 25th overall win of the season, adding another $20,000 payday to an already outstanding campaign.
