Despite multiple cautions and a green-white-checkered finish following Cody Overton's late tire issue, Pierce maintained control throughout the 100-lap event. Zack Mitchell finished second in his first World of Outlaws Feature start of 2025, while Jimmy Owens secured third place.
The victory adds to Pierce's impressive collection of long-distance wins, including the Prairie Dirt Classic, USA Nationals, and World 100. His experience in managing pace and tire wear proved crucial in securing the win.
Notable finishes included Jadon Frame in fourth (his World of Outlaws career best) and Mike Marlar completing the top five. Nick Hoffman earned the FOX Factory Hard Charger Award, advancing from 20th to 12th position.
