NICK HOFFMAN HITS PAYDIRT IN STATELINE’S WORLD OF OUTLAWS LATE MODELS SPECIAL!

May 24, 2023  |  by Marc Hoegerl

Busti, NY (May 23, 2023)  by Marc Hoegerl: Stateline was blessed with their biggest crowd of the 2023 campaign. The capacity crowd would witness some of the richest names in Super Late Model racing, as the Case Construction World of Outlaws Late Models would take stage to do battle in the 40 Lap, $10,000 to win main event.

Mooresville, NC’s, Open Wheel Modified standout Nick Hoffman has proven time and time again, that he can wheel just about any type of race car that he gets behind the wheel of. Hoffman is nationally known for his talent behind the wheel of the familiar four barrel Open Wheel E-Mod class. Hoffman has been fast right out of the box since joining the well-known Tye Twarog Racing/NOS Energy Drink Race Team, in 2023. The team is no stranger for landing some of the most highly talented racers in the business, over the years, with great success.

Hoffman became another racer at Stateline in 2023 to put his name in the record books. Hoffman picked up his first ever Case Construction World of Outlaws Late Model feature win , as well as his first ever Stateline win, in his first ever appearance. Hoffman is also the first ever North Carolina based racer to ever win a Super Late Model event at Stateline. Pretty nice resume to add to all of Hoffman’s other career accomplishments.

Gordy Gundaker would jump out to the lead on the first 1st lap,  in the Case Construction World of Outlaws Late Models 40 lap main event. Hoffman would muscle his way around Gundaker on lap 2, and build nearly a straightaway lead most of the first half of the event, until the field would catch lapped traffic, right before the halfway mark. Local favorite, and national standout, Max Blair would close the gap to three car lengths, chasing down the leader until a caution would come out on lap 25, giving Hoffman that clean air once again, as the field would take the green. Oakwood, IL’s, Bobby Pierce would take advantage of the restart, to claim the third spot. Pierce would find momentum using the outside to start tracking down 2nd place runner Blair. With Hoffman cruising out front, the field would hit lapped traffic once again, but Hoffman would distance himself enough from the rest of the field to claim the $10,000 first place money. Blair would bring home a nice run for 2nd, Pierce would settle for 3rd, Gundaker was 4th and Hall of Famer Chub Frank would round out the top five.

Dan Davies would end his lengthy dry spell at Stateline, to go on to claim a convincing victory in the UMP Modified feature. Davies would go the entire distance untouched to pick up his first win in 2023. Troy Johnson, Zach Johnson, Dennis Lunger, and Dan Sasso would round out your top five.

Andy Schumaker would track down the previous week’s winner, Chris Horton, and finally get a run on lap 6, to go the rest of the way to pick up his 1st Challenger win of 2023, in a stellar performance. Horton who is one of Stateline’s all time winners in the class, would have to settle for 2nd. Nicholas Reed, Holden Heineman, and Domingo Echevarria rounded out the top 5.
