Ethan Dotson Charges to World of Outlaws Win at Shelby County Speedway
Late Pass Propels ASD Motorsports Driver to $20,000 Victory
N. AUGUSTA, S.C. (Aug. 31, 2026) — Ethan Dotson saved his best for last during a three-race Iowa swing with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series, pulling off a last-lap pass Saturday night at Shelby County Speedway to capture the $20,000 Harlan Late Model Showdown.
Driving the ASD Motorsports No. 74X Late Model, Dotson overtook Daulton Wilson on the final lap to secure his second victory of the 2026 season.
“The line I was running, nobody was really running down there [in Turns 1 and 2],” Dotson said. “Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good there. Hate it for Bobby and Daulton, but the way it’s been going for me lately, I’ll take a little luck. I figured if I could get around the top down there and get a run on him, I saw [Wilson]’s guy telling him to run the bottom. Just all kind of fell together finally.”
The three-race stretch began Wednesday at Southern Iowa Speedway for the Corn Belt Showdown. Dotson won his heat race, pulled the “four” pill in the draw and went on to finish second in the 40-lap feature.
Friday’s visit to Adams County Speedway for the $20,000-to-win OSR Southwest Iowa Shootout produced a more difficult night. Dotson advanced through his heat with a third-place finish but pitted on lap 12 of the feature and ultimately finished 15th.
Dotson closed the Iowa swing Saturday at Shelby County Speedway by again finishing third in his heat to earn a spot in the Harlan Late Model Showdown.
He steadily worked his way forward in the 50-lap feature, cracking the top five before the halfway mark. After a pair of frontrunners tangled in the closing laps to set up a green-white-checkered finish, Dotson used the top side to charge past Wilson and lead the final lap to claim the $20,000 victory.
Complete results from the busy stretch can be found at www.WorldofOutlaws.com.
While the World of Outlaws will be idle for the first three weeks of September, Dotson and ASD Motorsports are set to compete in the 56th annual World 100 at Eldora Speedway, September 10-12.
