Sprint Rankings: Dietz On Top With One To Go

Only one 410 winged sprint car feature remains this season, and Chase Dietz holds a narrow lead in the National Sprint Car Rankings.

Dietz, winner of a national-best 27 features, will get one more crack at victory this Saturday when Pennsylvania’s BAPS Motor Speedway presents the final race of the campaign.

Dietz holds a 2.810 average finish in 78 races this season, placing him ahead of World of Outlaws driver Buddy Kofoid, who ranks second with a 3.516 average finish in 79 starts.

Three-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion David Gravel is third in the rankings, with Sheldon Haudenschild and Rico Abreu completing the top five.

Newly crowned NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson ranks sixth despite having not run a sprint car race since winning the Knoxville Nationals in mid-August.

Dietz leads the Eastern region, which is the only region with a race remaining.

Justin Sanders topped the Western region.

Cap Henry claimed his fifth Great Lakes region title and fourth in a row, while Ryan Timms repeated as the Great Plains titlist.

Gage Montgomery was a first-time regional winner in the Mid-America stanza.

Trey Starks claimed his third Northwestern regional title and A.J. Flick earned his sixth consecutive PA-OH region crown.

One hundred and 65 drivers have reached the required 20 starts to be eligible for the National Sprint Car Rankings, while 710 drivers have run at least one 410 winged sprint car feature this season.

One hundred and 49 drivers have combined to win 460 features run this season.

Dietz leads the country with 27 wins.
