This was one of the craziest sequences I’ve ever seen at a racetrack. I’ve seen a couple different post about this on here and it’s blowing up on FB, so just informing the X/Twitter world. Last night was the 50th Annual 3-Hour Figure 8 Championship at the Indianapolis Speedrome, it paid $50,000 to win. These are a full blown “Outlaw Super Late Model” (or atleast our version of them) with these cars weighing 2,450 pounds, 10” tires, and some pushing 650-700 HP and costing more than $50,000 to build. With around 4 minutes left and over 400 laps of racing, Jeffrey Shackelford (track champion, #28) and Mark Tunny (Tunny’s are the family who’ve been out here forever and have dominated for decades, Mark has won a ton of these 3-Hour races and other bigger races, #3T) we’re still on the lead lap racing for the lead. Jeffrey had gotten into Mark with around 10 minutes left but both were able to keep going, then the below incidents happen. Mark gets back into Jeffrey and spins Jeffrey out (looked like a racing deal,) and then Dana Tunny (Mark’s Brother who is over 200 laps down at this point) comes from across the track to finish Jeffrey off. Jeffrey gets out and starts kicking Dana, and then in the pits apparently a 400-person fight broke out when Dana swerved to hit Jeffrey’s crew according to IMPD report. Dana has been taken to jail and charged with a misdemeanor and a felony. (Credit, Cody Hardcastle, Brandon Acree, Ashley Schafer on FB for videos.)

While it’s definitely hard to win, it’s incredibly difficult to master. The World Figure 8 3-Hour Endurance Championship at the Indianapolis Speedrome. 3 Hours of nonstop crossover action, with drivers making over 800 trips through the “intersection” on average in a race. Normally $20,000 to win, and the 50th 3-Hour Championship is coming up in 2026. 24 cars start this race on the 1/5 bullring, and normally 40-50+ cars show up. As one of the starting 24 cars wreck or pull off the track, one of the drivers who didn’t start the race are then able to pull out and start the race so many laps down. Then if the guy pulls back on who pulled off, you can easily get 30+ cars on track at once.

When I tell people I come from a background of dirt late models and Outlaw Figure 8 racing, they often thing of Figure 8 racing as like a demo derby style event and not real racing. Here’s a clip of our version of Outlaw Figure 8 racing at the Speedrome, I spent years doing this before getting to the ARCA Menards Series Series.

Highlight of the weekend though has to come from the “Fun Night” at the Indianapolis Speedrome with the track owner almost flipping the front loader. Apparently the driver of the #78 car got out because his teammate got in a fight and left his car parked on the track.

1 in 1,000,000 chance? I’ve been opening up boxes AND BOXES of Panini America 2026 Select Racing looking for my own rookie cards, I’ve only hit a couple base cards until last night, I HIT MY OWN ZEBRA CASE HIT CARD! This is literally the first non-base/silver card I’ve personally pulled of myself in probably 20ish boxes. There is probably one zebra card every 720 cards (probably rarer), and there’s around 100 zebra variations. The odds of pulling a zebra is pretty crazy, but pulling MYSELF?!? Absolutely insane. The best part was I bought these loose boxes from my local card shop, Fan Cave Indy!

What a fever dream. This season has been absolutely demanding, mentally and physically. There have been so many points where I've just wanted to give up and throw in the towel. It seemed every time we made one step forward, we would take two steps back. The biggest thing that kept me going was the small glimpses here and there. Not many people saw them, but when things were going right, there were glimpses from within our team. We just kept saying if we could get a race to go our way, we would have a career day. Going into the dirt races we knew we would have a good run if we could just finish, but we did more than actually finish, we competed. For the first time this season, we actually felt a part of the upper-pack battle, fighting for the Lucky Dog, trading paint and throwing slide jobs. Attrition always plays a huge part of these races, but rarely are we able to benefit greatly from it. But yesterday was different. We were actually able to find ourselves in the lucky dog spot when we needed it most, got back on the lead lap and kept putting ourselves in a position to succeed. We know we'll have struggles throughout the rest of the season, we know we probably won't have another run like this all season, but for one day, for one race, we can say we felt like we competed. For us, such a small team with such a long history, to be a part of it week in and week out has been an awesome experience all year long and I'm excited to have this entire team behind me. I appreciate every single person that has been with us throughout my career and this awesome journey. It means a lot to see so much support, even through all the lows. It really does a mean a lot to me, and I appreciate it greatly. We're going up to Madison International Speedway this Friday, looking to put together some last second sponsors and help keep the good runs going. Stats/Accomplishment's from yesterdays 7th place finish (in 800+ ARCA Menards Series (Main Series Only) Races since 1984, stats only from when Wayne has fielded his own equipment): My new career best finish Best finish for Wayne Peterson Motorsports since 7th place (-14 laps) at Middle Georgia Raceway in 1984 Only his 10th lead lap finish since 1984 Only his 9th top ten finish since 1984 First lead lap finish for WPM since 2018 First lead lap finish on a track under 2.0 miles since 2015 and only his second ever Highest finishing Ford (I believe only the 2nd time the team has ever been a highest finishing manufacture) Fastest lap by a Ford
