The World of Outlaws have competed a total of 15 times at The Dirt Track @ Lowe's Motor Speedway dating back to 2000. For each of the next 15 days leading up to the inaugural Outlaws World Finals, each of those 15 events will be recounted, culminating with the opening night of inaugural Outlaws World Finals on November 1 at The Dirt Track @ Lowe's Motor Speedway. Today will focus on the fifth of those 15 events that was contested on May 25, 2001.
 
Danny Lasoski took the lead from Daryn Pittman on the second lap of the event and would go on to lead the final circuits to win the preliminary feature.
