POWER RANKINGS: Winged Sprint Car, FINAL, 2026

Jonesville, MI - An odd season of racing in Michigan for Winged Sprint Cars. Several rainouts between the Great Lakes Super Sprints (GLSS) and the regular division of 410 Sprint Cars at Butler Motor Speedway. When it was all said and done, five-time GLSS Champion, Max Stambaugh sat atop the MARC News Winged Sprint Car Power Rankings Presented by Midwest Camper Repair Company.


Stambaugh, while held winless with GLSS, did collect a Pell's Tire Service 410 Sprint Car win at Butler in May. Outside of that win, Stambaugh racked up 10 top-five finishes, the only driver in double digits in the state of Michigan in 2026. Although Stambaugh is the Power Rankings Champion, he can thank Zane DeVault for spending more time out of the state.


DeVault led all drivers in Michigan this season with five wins while visiting the Mitten State. His other two Power Rankings-eligible events when he didn't win were second-place finishes. He trailed Stambaugh by just four points in the final standings, and collected three fewer top-five finishes than Stambaugh.


How it works: Drivers who finish inside the top five that night will receive base points. 10 points for 1st, 6 points for 5th. This will be true for every race held that week/weekend in that division. Then, the "experts" will examine the results and see if anyone may have earned any bonus points based on their performance. If they did, the panel member can throw them two bonus points for the week.


Note: National Touring Series events DO NOT count toward the Power Rankings (High Limit Racing, World of Outlaws, etc). Regionally sanctioned Tours WILL count, with a ten-point bonus per position (Great Lakes Super Sprints, FAST on DIRT, IRA, All-Stars, etc). For events with less than a 10-car feature, five points are DEDUCTED for a strength-of-field correction.
