Winning his debut with Skyline Motorsports, Mike Marlar of Winfield, Tenn., held off polesitter Brandon Overton in leading all 35 laps Thursday at The Dirt Track at Charlotte in the World of Outlaws World Finals. Marlar pocketed $15,000 for his fourth World of Outlaws Case Late Model Series victory of the season and 17th of his career.

Pre-race notes

With single-car time trials wrapped up on Wednesday night, Late Model heat races went green right before 5:30 p.m. on a brisk evening at the 4/10-mile oval. … Winfield, Tenn.’s Mike Marlar sailed to victory in the opening heat race, starting his new tenure at Greg Bruening’s Skyline Motorsports in style. … Gray Court, S.C.’s Chris Madden — fresh off Sunday’s National 100 victory — cruised to a 6.801-second victory in the second heat, which started with an opening lap melee involving Kyle Bronson, Nick Hoffman, Gordy Gundaker, Brian Shirley, Brandon Sheppard, and Freddie Carpenter. Hoffman, who leaked fluid while heading back toward the pits, was the only driver to not continue and later reported he'll need a backup car for the rest of the evening. Bronson and Shirley forged ahead despite noticeable sheet metal damage to transfer to the main event. … Robeline, La.’s Cade Dillard topped virtual WoO champion Bobby Pierce by two seconds to take the third heat, which too started with an accident as Tyler Carpenter sheared off the right-front shock of his race car entering turn three and clobbered into the outside wall. He'll make repairs and try to transfer through the B-main. … Evans, Ga.'s Brandon Overton scored a 3.5-second victory in the fourth heat, which saw Mooresville, N.C.’s Kyle Strickler spin out of the fourth position on lap three and Wade, N.C.’s Daniel Adam suffer a flat left-rear on the opening lap. ... Off the strength of Tuesday's $7,500 victory at South Carolina's Cherkoee Speedway, Daulton Wilson of Fayetteville, N.C., went to victory in the fifth heat. ... Runner-up in the fifth heat, Carson Ferguson of Lincolnton, N.C., executed a sporty move between Ricky Weiss (third), Ethan Dotson (fourth), and Spencer Hughes (fifth) amid a four-wide battle to power from fifth to second on the opening lap. ... Chickamauga, Ga.'s Dale McDowell continued his stellar season by rounding out the sixth and final heat with a 1.5-second victory over Martinsville, Ind.'s Ricky Thornton Jr.
