Cade Dillard Gears Up for 2025 World of Outlaws Late Model Campaign
Cade Dillard is actively preparing for the 2025 World of Outlaws Late Models season while managing his successful chassis business, CDR Racecars. Despite not securing a World of Outlaws win in 2024, Dillard achieved 19 Feature wins with his No. 97 Modified, significantly boosting his chassis business.

A highlight of 2024 was Dillard's throwback design debut at his home track, Boothill Speedway, which hosted its first World of Outlaws event. The track will host a two-day event in 2025 (Oct. 10-11) with a $50,000-to-win finale.
Dillard showed marked improvement at Volusia Speedway Park in 2024, securing multiple top-10 finishes in January and earning three top-fives and five top-10 finishes in February. This success helped him secure second place in Big Gator points and third in Series points standings, a significant improvement from previous years.
The 2025 World of Outlaws Late Models season begins at DIRTcar Sunshine Nationals (Jan. 23-25) at Volusia Speedway Park. Dillard credits his recent success at larger tracks to improvements in his Longhorn cars' handling characteristics and overall setup.
The Sunshine Nationals will feature three nights of racing action, including 602 Late Models and 604 Late Models alongside the World of Outlaws Late Models competitors.
