2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series | Race Preview | Race 6: Knoxville Raceway – iRacing

December 16th, 2024 by

The sixth race of the 2024-25 World of Outlaws Pro Series season, powered by iRacing, takes to Knoxville Raceway on Monday night in the 410 Sprint Cars.
This top-level eSports dirt racing series combines a schedule of 10 tracks with two dirt oval disciplines—the series utilizes both the 410 Sprint Car and the Super Late Model—and with an open qualifying series format to allow for anyone to take part in the championship, the new Pro Series has different look than what we’ve seen in past World of Outlaws eSports championships. The last race on the 2024 side of the calendar, Knoxville Raceway will host Sprint Cars around the Sprint Car Capital of the World as the second half of the season begins.
The driver roster is set each week through the Qualifying Series races that are open to all iRacing members with a Class A Dirt Oval license. These qualifying races will run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET, and the top-35 point scorers will be invited to the iRacing World of Outlaws Pro Series league each week for the Monday night main event. After the Monday show, the league is cleared out, and the process begins again. Points will be tracked as normal across those 10 main events to crown the series champion.
The main event will include a 35-lap feature for 21 cars that qualify in through qualifying, heat races, and last chance qualifiers. The action starts at 8:00 p.m. ET and it will be live on DIRTVision and across all of iRacing’s social media channels.
The following 35 drivers have qualified into Monday night’s event at Knoxville Raceway, utilizing the Sprint Car, by scoring the most points last week during the qualifying races:

We had a “New” winner in the series last week at Federated Auto Parts at I-55 Raceway on Monday night. Conner New, in his second career World of Outlaws Pro Series start, won in a photo finish against former champion Blake Matjoulis after a late race restart bunched the field back together for the final six laps. Matjoulis was hugging the wall on the bottom as New ripped the top lane. Off of the final corner on the final lap, they came together, and across the line, New had it won by just a corner of his front bumper.
Knoxville Raceway hosted the final race on the 2023 side of the 2023-24 iRacing World of Outlaws Sprint Car calendar, and when the dust cleared at the Sprint Car Capital of the World, multi-time iRacing World of Outlaws champion Alex Bergeron stood tall as he returned to victory lane in dominant fashion.
The Late Models also ran at Knoxville last season, in August, and it was Logan Rumsey who scored the win.

Based on the Marion County Fairgrounds in Knoxville, Iowa, Knoxville Raceway is known as the “Sprint Car Capital of the World.” Besides its premier event, the Knoxville Nationals, the track has also been home to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum since 1992. The Knoxville Nationals pay out more than $1 million to competitors, with $175,000 of that reserved for the A-Main winner.
These races feature qualifying and heat racing to determine the 21 drivers that will compete in the main race.
The top-eight qualifiers will immediately transfer to the feature. Pole winners score 25 points, second place scores 23 points, and points are paid out through the transfer spots to eighth, who will receive 17 points. When the feature begins, the top-eight will invert, with the pole sitter starting eighth and the eighth place qualifier starting on the pole.
For everyone else who does not qualify in, there will be three heat races of eight laps each, where the top-three finishers will advance forward through to the main event. Heat races also pay out points to all drivers, with the winner scoring 15 points and ninth place taking home seven points.
There will also be two 12-lap consolation races where the top two finishers in each will move on, but no additional points are scored.
Feature races will be 35 laps in the 410 Sprint Car, or 50 laps in the Super Late Model. The Feature winner will score 100 points, making the maximum amount of points on any given night 125 for a pole and Feature win.
