CONCORD, N.C. — Wednesday ignited on-track action as the World of Outlaws World Finals got underway at The Dirt Track at Charlotte.
Two sessions of Honest Abe Roofing Qualifying set the stage for World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series heat races on Thursday-Friday, Nov. 6-7. The two complete racing programs will line up heats for the $25,000-to-win/$1,750-to-start season finale on Saturday, Nov. 8.
The first session was led by Pennsylvania’s Sye Lynch. He took the Mosites-Lynch No. 42 around the four-tenths-mile in 12.661 seconds for his third career Simpson Quick Time. That’ll line Lynch up on the pole of the first heat for Thursday’s program. Rico Abreu, Ryan Timms, Danny Sams III and Cory Eliason completed the top five in Flight A behind Lynch.
Flight B of the opening session was topped by Garet Williamson, who went out as the final car and still ripped a 12.763 in the Fischer Motorsports No. 23. David Gravel, who needs a finish of 21st or better on Thursday to clinch his second straight title, was second quickest. Buddy Kofoid was third, NASCAR Cup Series competitor Ty Gibbs timed in fourth and Ashton Torgerson rounded out the top five.
The Qualifying session for Friday’s racing started out the same as the first with Sye Lynch leading the first Flight and claiming overall Simpson Quick Time honors with a 12.899-second lap. And just like the first session, Rico Abreu was a spot behind him. Brent Marks, Ryan Timms, and Emerson Axsom followed.
David Gravel led the way in Flight B, stopping the clock at a 13.015. Garet Williamson was second. Spencer Bayston, who is making his debut with Stenhouse Jr./Marshall Racing before their 2026 World of Outlaws campaign, timed in third. Cale Thomas and Ashton Torgerson completed the top five.
