CONCORD, NC (January 16, 2026) – In his first full season piloting the Big Frog Motorsports No. 58V, Daulton Wilson will run the full World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision in 2026.
The Fayetteville, NC driver affectionately known as “Big Perm” is the latest addition to an expanding roster of drivers planning to chase a World of Outlaws championship. Wilson is the fourth first-time Outlaw to join the tour in pursuit of the MD3 Rookie of the Year Award alongside Trey Mills, Logan Zarin and Eli Johnson.
“We just kind of looked at the schedule, starting out kind of down where I’m from,” Wilson said. “They’ve run the Outlaw deal before, and it would be something new for me to do. Just felt like it was a good thing, a good time for a change, and it just kind of fit our program a lot better.”
Wilson teamed up with Big Frog last fall after a four-year run with JRR Motorsports came to an end. The pairing earned a pair of top 10s in their first weekend together in the Blue-Gray 100 at Cherokee Speedway before traveling to the Dirt Track World Championship, National 100, and World of Outlaws World Finals to round out 2025. By the end of that stint, Wilson knew the combination was capable of bigger things in the new year.
“We just kind of picked some races that we wanted to go run,” Wilson said. “We were just kind of taking it week by week, seeing how everything went. Me and Augie [Burttram, team owner] and everybody, we all got along pretty good. We threw around the idea of maybe putting something together for this year and it just all worked out.”
The 28-year-old has put together a respectable resume in his 15-year Late Model career, including the title of being the last Super Late Model winner at the legendary East Bay Raceway Park in 2024. One missing accolade is a World of Outlaws victory, although he’s come close on multiple occasions.
Most notably, Wilson had a front-row seat for the final-lap thriller between Bobby Pierce and Nick Hoffman at the 2024 Prairie Dirt Classic, crossing the line third that night. It was his third Series podium, as he also finished third at Cherokee in 2021 and 2022.
With a new team around him and a fresh schedule of races to look forward to, Wilson is entering the year feeling better than ever about his chances to break into Victory Lane with The Most Powerful Late Models on the Planet.
“Just win some races,” Wilson said regarding his goals for the upcoming season. “Be competitive and, you know, let the points kind of be what they’ll be.”
Wilson will begin his 2026 season with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DIRTVision at Volusia Speedway Park during DIRTcar Sunshine Nationals (Thursday-Saturday, Jan. 22-24) and Federated Auto Parts DIRTcar Nationals (Thursday-Saturday, Feb. 12-14), followed by the Swamp Cabbage 100 at Hendry County Motorsports Park (Friday-Saturday, Feb. 20-21).
