Springfield, IL – The WDRA has crowned its inaugural Summit Sportsman Drag Racing Series World Champions and now  is proud to release the national top 10 rankings.  These 2023 rankings are a reflection of the driver’s performance and overall finish at the Summit World Championships.  In some cases, positions were determined by the best losing package of that round to determine final positions.

A total of nineteen different tracks had drivers place in the top 10 with five tracks (Farmington, Darlington, Empire, Prescott and Union) placing three drivers in the top 10.  Another five tracks (Mid-Michigan, US 131, Kinston, North Florida and Eddyville) placed two of their racers in the top 10. 

Six drivers who won their respective class at a Summit Bracket Finals event went on to finish in the top 10 with two from the Midwest and two from the Southeast Summit Bracket Finals leading the pack. 

The state of Michigan staked its claim as the top bracket racing state thanks to the performance of Mid-Michigan Motorplex and US 131 Motorsports Park racers.  US 131 and Mid-Michigan drivers both earned World Championships while those two tracks also captured second place in the national standings in Box and Junior.  Michigan racers own one of the top two spots in Box and No Box and own both first and second places in the Junior Dragster class. 

Congratulations to all WDRA member tracks and racers for an outstanding year and an excellent showing at the Summit World Championships.
