It was only fitting that Brent Marks ended the 410 winged sprint car season in victory lane Saturday afternoon at Pennsylvania’s BAPS Motor Speedway.
Marks’ 18th triumph of the season came in the final race of the year and solidified his spot on top of the National Sprint Car Rankings for the first time in his career.
Marks ended the year with a 3.470 average finish in 81 races, outdistancing four-time World of Outlaws champion Brad Sweet, who had a 3.982 average finish in 72 races.
Sweet topped the National Sprint Car Rankings in 2019 and 2021.
Anthony Macri led the country in victories with 23 triumphs and he finished third in the rankings with a 4.028 average finish in 86 starts.
Sweet led the country in victories last season with 17.
Carson Macedo and David Gravel rounded out the top five in the rankings.
Regional winners were Macri (Eastern) Dominic Scelzi (Western), Jason Keith (Mid-America), Cole Macedo (Great Lakes), Mark Dobmeier (Great Plains), Trey Starks (Northwestern) and A.J. Flick (PA-Ohio).
