BRL OUTLAWS S39 R8 Recap

17 May 2025
Bootleg Racing League | Season 39 | Round 8
Outlaw Modified Series | Southern National Motorsports Park

Saturday, May 17th, the Bootleg Racing League’s Outlaw SK Modified Invitational Series rolled into Southern National Motorsports Park for Round 8 of Season 39, and with James Lowe all but crowned champion already, the rest of the field was fighting for pride—and a shot at a race win.

Steve Hilbert started on pole with his brother Tom Hilbert alongside, but it was Kurt Smith wasting no time moving up from third to take the early lead. Bobby Hayes followed him through to second as both Hilberts got shuffled to the high side and faded back.

By lap 24, Lowe made his presence known—blasting from third to the lead in one move around Smith and John Wilson. Ruben Altice tried to mount a challenge, but Lowe was in a class of his own.

With a small 11-car field, most of the night ran clean and uneventful, single file, and Lowe cruised to his fourth win of the season—crossing the line a dominant four seconds ahead of the field.

The most excitement came behind him on the final lap as Altice and Brennan Myers battled for second. Coming off the last corner, both drivers got loose, but Altice edged Myers at the line to steal the runner-up spot in a photo finish.

The series takes a break for Memorial Day Weekend and returns on Saturday, May 31st, from Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway—live at 7:40PM ET, only on the Virtual Grip Network.
