Bobby Pierce swept the World of Outlaws CASE Late Model Series race weekend with a pair of victories.
Pierce won at Indiana’s Brownstown Speedway on Friday night, followed by a victory on Saturday night at Illinois’ Fairbury Speedway.
On Friday, Pierce bypassed Adam Stricker on lap 8 of the feature, and held the lead the rest of the way to record the victory at Brownstown Speedway.
“During the first heat race, it was a little tricky” Pierce said. “We had to guess on what the track was going to do after the Heats. I told my dad ‘The tacky spots are tacky, and the slick spots are slick.’ So, we went ahead and tightened it up. I was a little nervous on the tire choice because everyone else was almost the same, and we had one tire that was different than the rest of the field. I think that’s why I got tight, but an awesome car, awesome effort by my team again. I can’t thank those guys enough.”
Chris Madden finished in second, with Tyler Erb in third, Gordy Gundaker in fourth, and Stricker in fifth.
On Saturday at Fairbury Speedway, Pierce used a three wide pass on Chris Madden and Brian Shirley .
Pierce never surrendered the lead from there, despite a late race caution that allowed Nick Hoffman to challenge, as Pierce drove to his 14th series win of the season.
“It was a little nerve-racking,” Pierce said. “You never know when a caution will come out and if someone has saved more tire than you. You go into turn 1 to make a good corner with that gap to second place, and I pushed going into turn 1 and I saw (Hoffman’s) nose, but I had a good exit off of (turn) 2 and took care of it.
“The car was great, but the most nerve-racking part was going through lap traffic and a couple times I got pinched and I couldn’t get around. It was a great racetrack, so you had a car on the bottom, middle and top and it was kinda hard on some guys but that made for an exciting race there for a little bit. Shirley, Madden and me were all side-by-side and it made for a great race. I knew that Madden was trying to not let me or Shirley by, so he had to protect both lines at once. But it made for a fun race and I’m glad to get the win.”
Hoffman finished second, with Madden third, Brandon Sheppard fourth, and Kyle Bronson fifth.
