ANDERSON, Ind. — The second edition of the 2026 National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings was announced Thursday evening.
Langley, British Columbia, driver Aaron Wilison is having a career year, and as such, finds himself atop the latest rankings. Willison has won an astonishing 9 out of 11 events he has competed in this season.
Among his wins are a $30,000 Race for the Million victory at 5 Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on April 10. Other victories for Willison include a $20,000 sweep over Independence Weekend at Colorado National Speedway and 5 Northwest Sprint Tour triumphs.
Two-time and defending National Pavement Sprint Car Rankings champion Kody Swanson moves up three spots to the runner-up position. Swanson has become hot lately with a Little 500 win and a $30,000 Race for the Million victory at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Michigan June 3. Swanson trails Willison by a mere three points.
Bobby Santos III comes in at No. 3. Santos recently picked up a Must See Racing victory at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan on June 6. He has also been on the podium at both Race for the Million events in 2026.
Early ranking leader Colton Bettis tumbles down to the fourth spot largely due to the fact he hasn’t competed in an abundance of events in recent months. Bettis currently has six feature victories in 2026 which is the second most pavement sprint car feature victories.
Brady Allum is ranked for the first time in his career because of his upset win during the Must See Racing event at Ovid, Michigan July 18. Allum slides in at #13.
