Bootleg Racing League | Season 38 | Round 1
Outlaw Modified Series | North Wilkesboro Speedway

The Bootleg Racing League’s Outlaw SK Modified Series kicked off its 38th season on Saturday, January 4th, at North Wilkesboro Speedway. This marked the eighth time the series raced at the iconic 0.63-mile track. Donny Moore claimed his first victory at this venue in eight attempts, adding another win to his illustrious career as a five-time champion. Moore started on the front row, briefly fell back during the race, but displayed resilience by regaining the lead and defending it in the closing laps to secure the victory.

Defending champion Todd Liston finished 2nd after an eventful race. The three-time series champion made contact with Edward Foster mid-race, an incident that appeared to rattle him but didn’t keep him from battling back to contend for the win.

Ruben Altice impressed with a 3rd-place finish after starting 13th in the inverted grid. Altice showcased patience, avoiding much of the race’s chaos and overcoming late-race suspension damage to secure his podium spot.

Other notable performances included Trey Blohm, who finished 4th, and Bruce Pearson, who rounded out the top five. Tim Corder gained 13 positions to finish 7th after starting 20th. Series newcomer Edward Foster endured a tough night, finishing 13th after being involved in a major multi-car incident with Adam Shane and James Lowe.

The 100-lap race was marked by several cautions, as close battles and aggressive moves led to frequent incidents. The top 13 drivers from the previous race were inverted in the starting lineup, adding an extra layer of strategy to the event.

Donny Moore’s hard-fought win sets the tone for another thrilling season in the Outlaw SK Modified Series. The action continues next Saturday, January 11th, with live coverage on the Virtual Grip Network starting at 7:40 PM ET.
