After completing their first full season on the World of Outlaws trail, Destiny Motorsports is pleased to announce that Paul McMahan has been hired to pilot their car with the ‘Greatest Show on Dirt’ in 2016.
“I am extremely excited for the 2016 season already,” Paul McMahan said. “I can’t wait to get home see my family, and then get to the shop and start preparing with the team for the Winter Heat Showdown and the World of Outlaws Tour.”
Monday morning, David Gravel announced he would be leaving the team, and the door opened for the California native turned Nashville, TN resident to take over the driving duties for Destiny Motorsports.
“First off this entire team wishes David Gravel the best of luck in his future endeavors, and we thank him for his services,” Destiny Motorsports owner, Rick Rogers said. “Moving forward, we are eager to get going with Paul McMahan in our car. He is a stand up guy off the track, and performance on the track certainly speaks volumes.”
Over the last three seasons McMahan has been strong with the World of Outlaws. In a three-year span, McMahan has ran third in the World of Outlaws point standings on two occasions, and has the third most wins in that stretch sitting only behind Daryn Pittman and Donny Schatz.
Over the course of his career, McMahan has racked up 26 career World of Outlaws feature event wins, a stat that has Destiny Motorsports Crew-Chief, Scott Benic excited about the future.
“Paul McMahan is a veteran World of Outlaws driver that we are lucky to have,” Benic said. “We were able to show speed at times throughout the 2015 season, and having McMahan climb in out car, I feel confident we will be contending for wins in 2016.”
With the 2015 season wrapping up this past Sunday, preparations are already well underway for the Destiny Motorsports team to hit the track in Yuma, AZ for the 2nd Annual Winter Heat Showdown taking place in early January.
“This seems like it is going to be a great fit for my family, and I,” McMahan added. “Rick and Barb Rogers are great people, and I am really looking forward to working with Scott Benic again after some experience with him back in 1997.”

Union Supply and Trading, Benic Enterprises, Rick Rogers Construction, Maxim Chassis, Boss Signs and Graphics, Rod End Supply, Driver Websites, Petersen Media, GME Manufacturing, ButlerBuilt, Simpson Race Products, Parker Engines, Keizer Wheels, DMI, Red Devil Brakes, Champion Oil, All Pro Cylinder Heads, Astro Titanium, and Hoosier Tire for their support in 2015.
