Devin Moran shared a little bit of what his plans will be for the beginning of 2026 and confirmed which national tour he’ll chase.

In a Facebook live video, Moran shared, “We are skipping the first Volusia and then our 2026 season is going to start the second week of February whatever it is. The week of Volusia, the DIRTcar Nationals. The week of the Daytona 500. The week of the DIRTcar Nationals.”

He then shared he will compete with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series throughout 2026. He was then jokingly asked by his brother Tristin, “So you’re not running any World of Outlaws this year?”

Devin replied, “Definitely not. Definitely running Lucas again this year. We are running Lucas. So that’s a little tidbit for the offseason.”

To be clear, this means that Devin Moran will not compete with the World of Outlaws when they arrive at Volusia Speedway Park at the end of January for the Sunshine Nationals that take place between January 22nd and January 24th.

He will compete with the Outlaws three weeks later when they return to Volusia Speedway Park for the Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals that begins on February 9th and runs through February 14th. However, the only Outlaw races will be from February 12th through the 14th.

After that the Outlaws will head to Hendry County Motorsports Park for the Swamp Cabbage 100 from February 19th through the 21st with the 19th being a practice night. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will kick off its season that same weekend at All-Tech Raceway. The Lucas series arrives at All-Tech on the 18th for a practice night and then has three nights of racing on the 19th, 20th, and 21st.

Moran will be looking to defend his 2025 championship, but he’ll be facing a different format as the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and its series director Rick Schwallie announced the series would return to a traditional season long points format.

Schwallie shared during the tour’s season ending banquet, “For the 2026 season we are going to return to a traditional points format for next year and go away from the chase format.”

“We tried something,” he continued. “We wanted to elevate our program. We more than doubled our points fund in that time in those three years. We had clients like Big River Steel and ARP that helped us do that and really we wouldn’t be here over $1.2 million today if it wasn’t for that. So I don’t look back and think of that as any sort of failure by any stretch of the imagination. I really think it was a success that it took us to new places and a place that’s more lucrative for our race teams,”

“But I also think that we’re at a place that we’ve tried different formats, different tweaks to that format. Here we are three years later that we’re just going to return to a traditional format for next year and the points fund will remain the same,” he declared.
