The Wingless Sprint Series have ventured to SSP just once in 2019 with Lance Hallmark conquering the field. The Wicked Energy Gum Northwest Focus Midget Series make their lone visit of the calendar this weekend. Past winners at the ¼-mile include Evan Margeson, Ross Rankine, Chance Crum, Michael Vollbrecht, and Tristin Thomas.
Greg Walters has still won the lion’s share of IMCA Modified victories with five trips to the winner’s circle. Doug Lockwood has two wins over single-race victors Jeremy Martin, Aaron Elwess, and Jerry Schram. In the IMCA Sport Mods, Tanner Krohling has been the dominate one with his four triumphs. Four drivers this season have one win including Rod Lowe, Brad Ruth, Ric Fors, and Braedon Hand.
In the Restricted Micros, the driver in prime form is Keira Zylstra. She has managed to best the field on three occasions and is the only multi-race winner. Macie Logsdon, Braden Maltais, and Colby Thornhill all have a single victory to their names. Meanwhile, in the Open Micros, the same case can be stated with just one multi-feature victor. Justen McConnville boasts that feat after winning against the competition twice this season. Jeff Little, Josh Thompson, Jesse Schlotfeldt, and Malachi Gemmer all have one win.
