Garrett Alberson secured his second consecutive World of Outlaws Late Models victory and his first Gator trophy at Volusia Speedway Park's Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals.

Starting from pole position, Alberson dominated the 35-lap Feature on a track that presented different challenges due to earlier rain showers. Despite increased grip levels and challenging track conditions, he maintained control throughout the race.

Bobby Pierce claimed second place after an intense battle with Ricky Thornton Jr., who ultimately finished fifth following late-race contact with the wall. Devin Moran secured third place, marking his 12th top-five finish in 14 starts this season. Ethan Dotson finished fourth and took over the World of Outlaws points lead, now leading Pierce and Sheppard by four points.

Key Race Moments:

• Mike Marlar challenged early but fell back after a poor restart
• Pierce briefly took the lead before a caution reset the field
• Thornton's late-race incident while battling for second reshuffled the podium positions

Alberson reflected on his victory: "I don't know what it is about this place. It kind of fits our deal here. It reminds me of one of my home tracks in El Paso, with a sweeping D-shape and a lot of speed."

The Big Gator championship battle continues with Thornton leading Pierce by 43 points with two nights remaining in the DIRTcar Nationals.
