We would like to thank everyone for their support this year on supporting our series! It was a great year and it takes a lot of people to help make all of it work and we are very grateful for all the support!

We have some of the best sponsors and very thankful for all their support this year! Thanks to each and everyone of them for helping this year be a success!

Lastly, a special thank you to all the tracks and their staff for giving us awesome track surfaces all year! A lot of time and effort goes into getting these facility’s ready every week and we appreciate all of you more than you know!

At this time we would like to congratulate Patrik Daniel on winning the 2026 championship! The championship battle was very tight all year and came down to the last couple of nights to be decided! Congrats Patrik on an awesome year!
