STEELE, AL (APRIL 2026) -- Isaac Preston put together one of the most well-rounded weekends of the event at Bama Outlaws.
From the start of qualifying, the car showed it had the speed to lead the field. Preston locked in the No. 1 qualifying position and made a statement run with a 3.624 elapsed time, resetting the PRO275 Turbo Car Record and setting the tone early.
That performance carried straight into eliminations. Preston stayed consistent behind the wheel, making clean, controlled passes through each round to advance to the final.
In the finals, Preston faced fellow Proline customer Nick Lacerenza. Both drivers made solid runs, but Preston had the advantage, going 3.677 at 208 MPH to Lacerenza’s 3.744 at 202 MPH to secure the win.
Behind the scenes, Adam Preston played a key role all weekend, helping keep the car consistent and competitive through changing track conditions. That kind of support is a big part of what makes a run like this possible.
It was the kind of weekend teams work toward, qualifying on top, setting a record, and closing it out on race day. Everything came together at the right time.
Congratulations to Isaac Preston, Adam Preston, and car owner Ernie Dampier for putting together a performance that was fast, consistent, and tough to beat from start to finish!
