CONCORD, N.C. Three years removed from his rookie season in 2022, Max Blair is again signed as a World of Outlaws Late Model Series driver.

Blair and Centerline Motorsports will commence the World of Outlaws season at Volusia Speedway Park during DIRTcar Sunshine Nationals (Jan. 22-25) and Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals (Feb. 13-15) with an eye on the full World of Outlaws season.

Last year, Blair finished third in the DIRTcar Nationals finale one of his five Super Late Model top five finishes at the track between World of Outlaws and DIRTcar competition. This year, hell continue his search for his first win at the Worlds Fastest Half Mile.

I love the place, Blair said. I was absolutely awful all through Speedweeks last year and we still ran really well at Volusia. The place just seems to fit me well, Im really excited about racing there.

This season marks Blairs second year competing with Centerline Motorsports after scoring four regional Super Late Model wins in 2024. With a full year under their belt, Blair believes he has everything he needs to deliver a World of Outlaws victory to the Centerville, Pa.-based operation.

Its been great, really happy that I fell into that deal, and its been good so far, Blair said. I dont see any reason why it isnt going to be a long-term partnership.

Blair picked up his first victory with The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet in 2017 at McKean County Raceway, less than two hours down the road from his Titusville, Pa. home. That kicked off a run of three wins in four years while running a partial schedule with the Series, which led up to his maiden full-time season in 2022.

His first full season racing nationally was undoubtedly a success, as Blair added two more World of Outlaws wins to his resume at Cherokee Speedway and Bloomsburg Fair Raceway on the way to a third-place points finish behind Dennis Erb Jr. and Tanner English.

That Bloomsburg win stands as his most recent triumph, although he has had some close calls over the past two years, including a runner-up to Nick Hoffman at Stateline Speedway in 2023.

After rebuilding his notebook following a swap to Longhorn Chassis in the early portion of 2024, getting back to Victory Lane at the national level sits as his top priority entering 2025.

We switched chassis brands last year and it took a long time to get rolling, Blair said. I feel like we keep getting better and better. There were a couple of races we probably should have won that I made a mistake in. Just got to put it together. Hopefully those three or four close ones are definite wins this year and we get a few more than that.
