Bootleg Racing League | Season 39 | Round 4
Outlaw Modified Series | Oxford Plains Speedway

On Saturday, April 12th, the Bootleg Racing League’s Outlaw SK Modified Invitational Series rolled into Oxford Plains Speedway for round 4 of season 39 — and with just a 4-point gap between James Lowe and John Wilson atop the standings, every position mattered.

Bruce Pearson led the field to green with Tre Blohm alongside him, but it didn’t take long for the drama to start. Contact between Tom Hilbert and Blohm knocked the #32 machine back several spots early, though Blohm quickly regrouped and began clawing his way forward again.

Jeffery Hardin surged into 2nd by making a move under Hilbert, which opened the door for Blohm to rejoin the podium fight as they neared halfway. Up front, Pearson was hitting his marks and holding the lead with precision, while Hardin and Blohm ran nose-to-tail behind him. Meanwhile, points leader James Lowe was still mired outside the top five, struggling to make up ground.

Patience began to wear thin as the field ran single file, and a rare mistake from Todd Liston gave Lowe a break — bumping him up to 5th, right behind Wilson. As the laps ticked down, it looked like the leaders might go the distance cleanly — until a late-race three-wide battle deeper in the pack brought out a caution with just 11 laps remaining.

That yellow changed everything.

Hardin, restarting on the outside — where grip had been hard to find all night — was quickly freight-trained. Blohm jumped to his inside, and Lowe followed suit, slipping into 3rd. The battle behind took all the pressure off Pearson, who held strong up front and drove away to claim his first win of the season.

With a 3rd-place finish, Lowe stays on top of the standings, now six points ahead of Wilson as the BRL heads into an Easter break. The series returns Saturday, April 26th at Stafford Motor Speedway — catch it live at 7:40PM ET only on the Virtual Grip Network!

MVRL ARCA SERIES S1 R2 Recap

07 April 2025
Maximum Velocity Racing League | Season 1 | Round 2
ARCA Series | Phoenix Raceway

On Monday, April 7th, the Maximum Velocity Racing League’s ARCA Series took on the flat turns and tight confines of Phoenix Raceway for round 2 of their inaugural season — and with 100 laps on the docket, survival became the name of the game.

Rob Haynes grabbed the pole with a blazing lap of 26.293 seconds, with Justin Michael lining up alongside him on the front row. But any hopes of settling into a rhythm were dashed early, as the race was plagued by caution after caution, turning the event into a series of short sprints that tested every driver’s patience, reflexes, and pit strategy.

While some drivers used the frequent cautions to grab fresh tires and fuel without fear of going a lap down, there was a catch — pitting often dropped drivers into the heart of the pack, where incidents were happening fast and frequently. Getting caught in the chaos was a real risk, and track position became more valuable than ever.

Haynes led the opening laps, but Scott Patten got around him just before a caution on lap 22 and stayed out to keep the lead through the early melee. When the Shulta stage break came at lap 36, most of the field came down pit road, setting up a shuffle in the running order. Matt Schlosser stayed out and inherited the lead as the green flew to start lap 40.

From there, it was a battle of attrition. As positions swapped behind the leader with every restart, Zach Chapman rose to the occasion, leading a large portion of the second half of the race. But with track position constantly changing hands, Chapman eventually made a late decision to come in for tires with under 25 laps remaining.

That move opened the door for Charlie Widner, who found himself at the front with 20 laps to go. With the race continuing its stop-and-go rhythm, Widner was able to protect the lead through the remaining restarts, never giving challengers the chance to make a real run. His winning move? A combination of strategy, timing, and managing to steer clear of the wreckage.

When the checkered flag flew, it was Widner celebrating in Victory Lane, locking in a big win after a wild night in the desert. The MVRL heads to Richmond Raceway next Monday, April 14th, for round 3 — and you can catch all the action live at 9:30PM ET only on the Virtual Grip Network!

OBRL CUP SERIES S8 R8 Recap

06 April 2025
OBRL Presented by VCTRYLNSPRTS | Season 8 | Round 8
YesterYear Cup Series | Darlington Raceway

On Sunday, April 6th, The OBRL’s YesterYear Racing Cup Series, presented by VCTRYLNSPRTS, took on the legendary Darlington Raceway for round 8 of season 8 — and the Lady in Black didn’t disappoint.

Dan Hill led the field to green after laying down a blistering pole time of 29.377 seconds, with Josh Robinson starting alongside him. From the drop of the flag, Hill looked unstoppable, rocketing away from the pack and stretching out a commanding lead lap after lap. Behind him, the fight was on. Tom Ogle muscled his way into 2nd while Robinson and Dwayne McArthur locked horns for 3rd in a spirited early battle.

Further back, Cortney Nelson was on the move, slicing through the field and briefly climbing to 3rd before tire wear began to take its toll. Around lap 44, McArthur regained 3rd from Nelson as the long run began to expose whose setups could handle the Darlington abrasion.

Nelson, struggling with corner grip, was the first to blink, diving onto pit road and committing to a two-stop strategy. He was soon followed by several others while the rest of the field gambled on stretching fuel and rubber for a one-stop run. This created a major strategy divide that would shape the second half of the race.

As pit cycles shuffled the order, tensions ramped up in the fight for 3rd. McArthur was holding strong, while Kotska and Robinson were closing in. Kotska’s aggressive moves through lap traffic got under Robinson’s skin, but it bought McArthur a small buffer heading into the next green flag pit cycle.

Then came the turning point. On lap 60, Hill — who had led every lap up to that point — suffered a race-ending technical failure, handing the lead to Ogle, who had been shadowing him with consistency and pace. Ogle took full control of the race from there, heading down pit road for his scheduled stop while McArthur briefly inherited the lead before pitting himself.

As the field cycled through, Nelson found himself in the lead, but with one big caveat: he would need to stop again. Ogle, McArthur, Kotska, and Robinson were all hoping to stretch it to the end on a single stop. Nelson’s only hope was to leverage his fresh tires in the closing laps — but disaster struck before that strategy could play out. After making his final pit stop on lap 96 and rejoining into heavy traffic, cold tires betrayed him. Coming off the corner, Nelson got loose and slammed the inside wall, ending his night early.

That left Ogle comfortably out front with clean air and a clear track. McArthur continued to fight tooth and nail to hold onto 2nd, but with 26 laps to go, Robinson finally got the edge and slipped by. From there, tire wear took its toll across the field, and the action settled down.

Tom Ogle cruised to the win — his second in a row — after a masterclass in patience and execution. Robinson brought it home in 2nd, preserving his commanding points lead, now 48 points ahead of Ogle. McArthur held on for a gritty 3rd place finish.

Next up, the OBRL heads to the high-banked bullring at Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday, April 13th. Catch the full broadcast live at 8:00PM ET, only on the Virtual Grip Network!

BRL OUTLAWS S39 R3 Recap

05 April 2025
Bootleg Racing League | Season 39 | Round 3
Outlaw Modified Series | Five Flags Speedway

On Saturday, April 5th, the Bootleg Racing League’s Outlaw SK Modified Invitational Series rolled into Five Flags Speedway for round 3 of season 39, and the fireworks started early. James Lowe came into the night with a slim 2-point lead in the standings, but he’d have to work for every inch to keep it.

Tre Blohm started the race from the pole with Tim Corder to his outside. Lowe rolled off 5th, but it didn’t take long for him to start climbing forward. Right from the drop of the green, drivers were aggressive, and that meant more cautions than we’ve seen so far this season. The race quickly turned into a stop-and-go affair of short green flag sprints.

Lowe worked his way up to 3rd in the opening laps with Chris Davis hot on his heels, keeping the pressure high. Meanwhile, out front, Blohm had built a solid gap over Jeffery Hardin in 2nd, but Hardin had his hands full trying to hold off Lowe and Davis as they closed in. Then things got messy on lap 29 — Davis tried to dive under Lowe but ran out of room, triggering contact that took out both drivers and collected Todd Cousins, who had nowhere to go. That incident scattered the field and shook up the running order.

On the restart, Todd Liston made his move, jumping into the 2nd spot and setting his sights on Blohm at the front. But chaos wasn’t done with Lowe’s night. Just past halfway, Lowe was tapped again — this time by Chris Haizlip — and went spinning, once again involving the same trio of drivers from the earlier crash. Cousins retired from the race after the second tangle, while Lowe managed to recover in 11th, and Davis fell back to 15th.

Blohm kept control of the race until lap 71, when Jeffery Hardin got a great jump on a restart and used the momentum to dive under Blohm, taking the lead a lap later. As Blohm started slipping through the pack, John Wilson stepped up into 2nd and was clearly faster than Hardin, but had no room to make a move. That changed with 16 laps to go when Wilson finally found his opening and grabbed the lead — only for another caution to freeze the action shortly after.

With 11 to go, the final restart proved decisive. Wilson led the field back to green, but Todd Liston pounced. He slipped under Hardin, who then tagged Wilson’s rear bumper and sent him into the wall. The chain reaction allowed Liston to sneak by both and take the lead. Wilson recovered, but the damage was done. Liston held the top spot through the final laps and crossed the line to take his first win of the season in a wild, hard-fought race.

Lowe, despite being caught in multiple incidents, showed grit and fought his way back to a 5th place finish, just enough to hang on to the championship lead — now just 4 points ahead of Liston heading into round 4.

The Bootleg Racing League is back in action next Saturday, April 12th, when the series heads north to Oxford Plains Speedway. Catch every lap live starting at 7:40PM ET, only on the Virtual Grip Network!

MVRL ARCA SERIES S1 R1 Recap

31 March 2025
Maximum Velocity Racing League | Season 1 | Round 1
ARCA Series | Daytona International Speedway

On Monday, March 31st, the Maximum Velocity Racing League launched the inaugural season of its ARCA Series with an intense, high-speed battle at Daytona International Speedway. Zachary Groover led the field to green after securing the pole with a fast lap of 50.890, with his brother, Brandon Groover, lining up alongside him on the front row.

As the race got underway, the outside line took a few laps to form, but once it did, the lead pack saw constant position swapping among the frontrunners. The field showed patience early on, with many drivers using the opening laps to learn the limits of the ARCA cars and how aggressively they could push in the draft.

The first big incident of the night struck on lap 10 when contact among several drivers sent Christopher Kresge off track and into the grass with significant front-end damage. As drivers attempted to rejoin the racing surface, more contact brought out the caution, but Kresge was able to stay on the lead lap. Once the race resumed, the high-speed pack racing continued with multiple lead changes.

Lap 20 saw another major incident—a four-car wreck that collected Justin Michael. This caution provided a strategic opportunity for the field to make a fuel stop. While the drivers would still need one more pit stop to make it to the finish, Kresge gambled by staying out, taking control of the lead for the restart.

From there, the field settled into a long green-flag run, remaining mostly single file in a tight, fast-moving pack. There were a few minor off-track incidents, but none were severe enough to bring out another caution. At the front, Christopher Howell established himself as the dominant force, receiving strong pushes from Jordon Knies.

However, Knies soon learned a tough lesson about managing engine temperatures in the ARCA car. After pushing Howell for too long without clean air, his engine overheated and expired just past the halfway point, abruptly ending his race. This served as a cautionary tale for the rest of the field, emphasizing the delicate balance of aggression and patience in pack racing.

With 20 laps remaining, drivers began making their final green-flag pit stops. The sequence was chaotic, with multiple cars entering and exiting pit road simultaneously, leading to some contact and near-misses. As the stops cycled through, the field became fragmented, splitting into several smaller drafting packs.

Out front, a four-car lead pack emerged, with Rob Haynes leading the charge. Taking lessons from Knies’s earlier misfortune, the front pack devised a strategy to rotate the leader, ensuring no single driver pushed for too long and risked overheating. Their coordinated effort allowed them to maintain a blistering pace, steadily pulling away from the trailing packs.

As the white flag waved, Justin Michael found himself in the lead, with his teammate Haynes glued to his bumper, ready to push him to the finish. Coming out of the final corner, Haynes made the decision to stay in line rather than challenge for the win, remaining committed to his teammate and pushing Michael across the line to victory in the opening round at Daytona.

With round one in the books, the Maximum Velocity Racing League now turns its attention to Phoenix Raceway next Monday, April 7th. The action kicks off at 9:30 PM ET, streaming live on the Virtual Grip Network!

OBRL CUP SERIES S8 R7 Recap

30 March 2025
OBRL Presented by VCTRYLNSPRTS | Season 8 | Round 7
YesterYear Cup Series | Martinsville Speedway

On Sunday, March 30th, the OBRL YesterYear Cup Series rolled into Martinsville Speedway for round 7 of season 8, with drivers facing one of the toughest short tracks on the schedule. Andrew Kotska put down a blistering lap of 19.478 seconds to secure the pole, with Cortney Nelson joining him on the front row. The tight quarters of Martinsville always promise excitement, and this race was no exception.

As the green flag waved, Kotska got a great jump, but behind him, early cautions shook up the field. Contenders like Dan Hill and defending series champion Josh Robinson found themselves caught in the chaos, suffering damage that forced them to fight their way back through the pack. Dwayne McArthur made several aggressive attempts to wrestle second place away from Nelson, but Nelson held strong, keeping McArthur at bay. The battle behind them was intense, with drivers fighting hard for every inch of real estate on the half-mile oval.

On lap 26, McArthur’s persistence came back to bite him. Jerry Isaacs got underneath him in turn three, forcing McArthur up the track. That move created a bottleneck, and as the checkup rippled through the field, multiple drivers got turned around. Robinson, already struggling with damage, got caught up in the mess, suffering heavy front-end damage. He was able to make repairs under caution but restarted deep in the pack, back in 30th.

Shortly after the restart, the race claimed another victim. Nelson, who had been running strong, lost the rear end of his car coming out of the corner and spun, nosing into the inside wall. With Nelson out of the picture, Isaacs moved into second place, followed by Tom Ogle, who was quietly making his way forward. This caution prompted many drivers to gamble on pit strategy, coming in for fuel and tires in hopes of making it to the end. Kotska and Ogle, however, chose to stay out, banking on another caution later in the race.

As the race wore on, Martinsville proved to be merciless. The cautions kept coming, collecting more contenders—including Isaacs, who got tangled up with Darryl Wineinger in a crash that blocked the track and took out several others. By the halfway mark, drivers finally got the long green-flag run they had been waiting for. Ogle took advantage, moving into second place behind Kotska. With clean air and open track, the two leaders pulled away from the rest of the field, putting down some of the fastest laps of the night.

Despite the early damage, Robinson was making an incredible recovery, methodically picking off cars one by one. By the time the race entered its final stages, Robinson had clawed his way back into third, putting himself back in contention for a podium finish.

Kotska, knowing a pit stop might be necessary, began pushing his car to its limits, building as large of a gap as possible. He was slicing through lapped traffic with precision, but Ogle wasn’t letting him get away. Lap after lap, Ogle matched Kotska’s pace, keeping the pressure on. Just when it seemed like the leaders might have to make a green-flag stop, the caution flag flew with 35 laps to go.

For Kotska and Ogle, this was the break they needed. Having lapped a significant portion of the field, they could now pit for fuel and fresh tires without sacrificing track position. The crucial moment of the race came on pit road—Ogle’s crew delivered a flawless stop, getting him out ahead of Kotska.

With Ogle now in control of the lead, the final stretch of the race became a series of short green-flag runs broken up by cautions. Each time, Ogle nailed the restart, keeping Kotska in his mirror. Kotska did everything he could to mount a challenge, but Ogle had the advantage and wasn’t giving it up.

In the end, Ogle took the checkered flag, securing his first win of the season in dominant fashion. Kotska crossed the line in second, while Robinson, despite all the adversity he faced, brought his damaged car home in third.

With seven rounds complete, Robinson maintains a strong 50-point lead over Ogle in the championship standings. The OBRL now turns its attention to Darlington Raceway next Sunday, April 6th, with all the action going live at 8:00PM ET on the Virtual Grip Network!

Bootleg Racing League | Season 39 | Round 2
Outlaw Modified Series | Hickory Motor Speedway

On Saturday, March 29th, the Bootleg Racing League’s Outlaw SK Modified Invitational Series rolled into Hickory Motor Speedway for round 2 of season 39. Kurt Smith started on the pole, securing a prime position at a track notorious for its tight racing and limited passing opportunities. Lining up alongside him was Todd Liston, ready to challenge for the lead as the green flag waved.

Smith wasted no time settling into the top spot while Liston tucked in behind him, holding onto second place. As the field sorted itself out, a gap quickly formed between the front-runners and the battle for third. John Wilson emerged from a side-by-side fight with Tim Corder to claim the position, but his hold was short-lived. Chris Haizlip was on the charge, methodically working his way forward before making his move past Wilson on lap 33 to take over third.

The long green-flag run played to Smith’s advantage, as he and Liston continued to extend their lead. By lap 75, their gap over the rest of the field had grown to nearly four seconds. However, that margin was erased when contact between Wilson and Jeffery Hardin sent Hardin spinning, bringing out the caution and tightening the field for a crucial restart.

As racing resumed with 20 laps to go, Haizlip’s night took a turn for the worse. A collision with Bruce Pearson sent both drivers hard into the outside wall, ending their races and bringing out another caution. With only 14 laps remaining, the pressure was on as the green flag dropped once more.

Smith continued his ironclad defense of the inside line, forcing Liston to attempt a daring move on the outside. For several thrilling laps, the two ran side by side, but Liston ultimately had to lift to prevent losing his position to Wilson, allowing Smith to regain control. With a flawless performance, Smith led every lap, taking the checkered flag in dominant fashion.

With two rounds in the books, James Lowe holds a narrow lead in the standings over Todd Cousins. The Bootleg Racing League heads to Five Flags Speedway next Saturday, April 5th, with all the action going live at 7:40PM ET, only on the Virtual Grip Network!

OBRL Presented by VCTRYLNSPRTS | Season 8 | Round 6
YesterYear Cup Series | Homestead Miami Speedway

On Sunday, March 23rd, the OBRL YesterYear Racing Cup Series stormed into Homestead-Miami Speedway for round 6 of season 8. Greg McDaniel secured the pole with a blistering 33.664-second lap, lining up alongside Dwayne McArthur on the front row. The race got off to a tense start, with an early caution flying just five laps in, though all drivers escaped unscathed.

As racing resumed, Dale Easterlin wasted no time asserting himself, charging to the lead on the restart. The field saw another caution on lap 22 when three-wide racing went awry in the back half of the pack, but once again, the damage was minimal. Most of the field took advantage of the yellow flag to pit for fresh tires and fuel, but Allen Wannamaker gambled by staying out. It quickly became evident that the call wouldn’t pay off, as he struggled to hold position on worn rubber, dropping like a rock through the field.

Defending series champion Josh Robinson played the strategy game to perfection, using an efficient pit cycle to vault himself into the lead. With a long green flag run unfolding, Robinson put on a masterclass, stretching out an astonishing six-second lead before green-flag pit stops began to shake up the order. While many competitors had already pitted for fresh tires, Robinson stayed out longer, a move that paid dividends when a caution flew on lap 90. The well-timed yellow allowed him to pit under caution and retain the lead, now with fresher tires than most of the field.

Lloyd Moore tried to mount a challenge on the restart, keeping Robinson within striking distance. However, as the laps ticked down, Moore’s aggressive pace took a toll on his tires, and he began fading as Robinson started pulling away once more. A caution on lap 123 brought another round of pit stops, but Robinson nailed the sequence yet again, holding onto the top spot for the restart with just 18 laps to go.

Behind him, Moore was locked in a fierce battle with Daniel Hill for second place, and their fight allowed Robinson to build a comfortable gap. Just as it seemed Robinson had the race in hand, another caution on lap 132 reset the field for a dramatic late-race shootout. With only eight laps remaining, the green flag waved for the final time. Robinson wasted no time putting down blistering laps, keeping Hill and Moore in his rearview mirror to take the checkered flag and his first win of the season.

With the victory, Robinson extends his points lead to 63 points over Tom Ogle. The OBRL YesterYear Racing Cup Series returns next Sunday, March 30th, at Martinsville Speedway. Catch all the action live at 8:00 PM ET, only on the Virtual Grip Network!

22 March 2025
Bootleg Racing League | Season 39 | Round 1
Outlaw Modified Series | Martinsville Speedway

On Saturday, March 22nd, the Bootleg Racing League’s Outlaw SK Modified Invitational Series kicked off season 39 at Martinsville Speedway. Jeffrey Hardin led the field to the green flag from the pole, with Todd Liston lined up alongside him on the front row. Hardin controlled the early laps, fending off Liston’s advances, but the action was quickly slowed by an early caution. A string of failed restarts followed, as the tight confines of Martinsville led to stack-ups deeper in the field.

Once the race finally found its rhythm, Hardin continued to lead as racing resumed on lap 42. James Lowe had methodically climbed through the pack and, on the latest restart, overtook Tre Blohm to claim second place. As the field settled into a long green flag run, the battle for the lead intensified. Lowe stayed glued to Hardin’s rear bumper, matching his every move as the two drivers began to separate themselves from the pack.

Further back, Blohm found himself in a fierce battle for third as Todd Cousins searched for a way around. On lap 62, Cousins made a bold move to the inside, but the attempt backfired when Jason Menda capitalized on the opening, diving low and initiating a hard-fought battle for fourth. Contact between Menda and Cousins added to the intensity, but Menda eventually gained the upper hand, clearing ahead as the laps ticked down.

At the front, Hardin was under immense pressure. His worn tires were making it difficult to hold his line, and Lowe was looking for any opportunity to pounce. Blohm, sensing the struggle, began to close the gap, bringing a trailing pack of cars with him. With just six laps remaining, Lowe made his move, getting a nose to the inside coming out of turn four. Hardin had no choice but to concede, and as soon as Lowe took control, Blohm wasted no time diving under Hardin to steal second place.

Lowe capitalized on the clean air and pulled away in the closing laps, taking the checkered flag and making an early statement to start the season. The Bootleg Racing League returns next Saturday, March 29th, at Hickory Motor Speedway. Catch all the action live at 7:40 PM ET, only on the Virtual Grip Network!

OBRL CUP SERIES S8 R5 Recap

16 March 2025
OBRL Presented by VCTRYLNSPRTS | Season 8 | Round 5
YesterYear Cup Series | Las Vegas Motor Speedway

On Sunday, March 16th, the OBRL YesterYear Racing Cup Series stormed into Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the fifth round of season 8. Defending champion Josh Robinson entered the night with a comfortable 28-point lead over Tom Ogle, despite still searching for his first win of the season. With four different winners in the opening four races, the playoff grid was already filling up, and another new face in Victory Lane would only add to the excitement. Dan Hill, one of those previous winners, put his speed on display in qualifying, securing the pole with Ogle lined up beside him on the front row.

The early laps were filled with short runs and quick cautions, prompting many drivers to take advantage of pit stops for small fuel top-offs, anticipating a strategy-heavy race. However, when the green flag waved again on lap 25, no one could have predicted it would be the last restart of the night. What followed was an incredible 125-lap green flag stretch that completely reshaped the race’s outcome.

At the front, Hill found himself under heavy pressure from Ogle as the two battled fiercely for the lead. Their intense fight slowed the overall pace, allowing the pack to stay bunched up and leading to thrilling three-wide battles deeper in the field. As things began to settle, it was Cortney Nelson who took control, using clean air to his advantage and stretching out a gap over the rest of the contenders.

But while Nelson was trying to build a comfortable lead, Andrew Kotska was methodically working his way through the pack. Running a different pit strategy and on fresher tires than those ahead of him, Kotska’s approach became more evident as the laps clicked away. Nelson, realizing the looming challenge, opted to pit on lap 65, not wanting to get caught off-sequence. The rest of the lead pack followed shortly after, handing the lead over to Kotska on lap 69.

Kotska, however, had one more ace up his sleeve. He stretched his fuel run all the way to lap 90, ensuring that he could make it to the end on just one more stop, while the majority of the field would still need an additional splash of fuel. Nelson, recognizing the trap he had fallen into, came back down pit road on lap 100, trying to salvage his race by banking on fresher tires for the closing laps.

That decision handed the lead back to Robinson, but Kotska was charging back through the field at an alarming rate. By the time Robinson finally had to pit, Kotska had already climbed to second, and with 41 laps remaining, he inherited the lead outright. From that point forward, his strategy played out to perfection. While others were forced to pit late, Kotska was able to manage his tires and fuel, maintaining a dominant gap all the way to the checkered flag.

With back-to-back wins in the YesterYear Racing Cup Series, Kotska is proving to be a major force in the championship picture. The OBRL returns to action next Sunday, March 23rd, at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Catch all the racing live at 8:00 PM ET, only on the Virtual Grip Network!
