Story by Kenny Shupp Jr.
(Dundee, NY) After a grueling four- month stretch of point battles, Outlaw Speedway will wrap up the Regular Season Point Battles with their traditional Double Point Championship Night on Friday, August 28, 2026.
“The Double Point Finale puts a lot of pressure on the contending drivers and teams as we crown our 2026 Track Champions, stated track owner/promoter, Tyler Siri. I pay really good point money to win these track titles, and all the drivers have worked hard throughout the year to get into position to have a chance at their respective championships.”
The winner of the Friendly Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Modified Division will walk away with a hefty check for $10,000 to win the title.
Knapp and Schlappi Lumber Crate Sportsman, Swarthout Recycling Street Stocks, Addison, Corning, Hornell and Wellsville NAPA Auto Parts Stores Hobby Stocks along with the MR Grafix Mini Stock Track Champions will all take home $2,500 at the upcoming Awards Banquet.
“That is some serious money especially for the support classes, way more than most venues payout for their track champs, but these men and women and their teams spend every night in the shop trying to make their cars better. It is a grind from May through August as everyone is fighting for every point and this is the tracks way of showing our weekly competitors how much we appreciate their dedication and support throughout the year.” That is once again according to track owner, Tyler Siri.
It goes without saying the competition on the Fast 4/10 of a Mile Clay Oval will be at a fever pitch as every driver that has a mathematical chance of claiming a track title will be giving it everything they have from start to finish and for a look at the current point standings heading into the August 28 Double Point Finale simply log on at www.outlawspeedwayllc.com.
On a regular night, the feature winner in each division claims 60 points and it goes down from there. Consequently, with doubling the points it brings a multitude of players into the game all eyeing not only the win, but also a chance to gain enough points to have a shot at the championship.
Michael Maresca is looking to back up his 2025 Modified Title, but he will have to really bring his A Game as he sits third in points behind Matt Sheppard who leads and Alex Payne who enters the event in second place.
The current top five in points all have a shot to win the $10,000.
There will be a different driver claiming the 2026 Sportsman Title as multi-time and 2025 Champ, Chris Fisher has not raced a full schedule this season.
Same with the Street Stocks as another mega time Track Champion in Genn Whritenour has run a limited schedule in “26” opening the door for a new champion to be crowned. Currently Jimmy Grant heads up a list of seven different drivers that have a chance at winning the coveted crown.
Danny Kerrick was the 2025 Hobby Stock Track Champion and has had another stellar season, however several time HS Champ, Marc Minutolo leads the point battle entering the finale and for last year’s runner-up Minutolo would love nothing more than adding another 6’ Champions Trophy to his collection. However, Kerrick sits second in points, and one slip up my Mr. Smooth would find the third gen pilot going back-to-back as HS Champion.
Five drivers are still in the hunt for the 2026 Hobby Stock Track title.
Zach Daugherty claimed the 2025 Mini Stock Title as a Rookie, the same scenario as Kerrick in the Hobby Stocks an exceedingly rare feat indeed, but the second-generation Elmira speedster has his work cut out as Craig DeCamp holds the point lead entering the August 28 event.
DeCamp’s lead, like all the other divisions, is not insurmountable by any means, especially when the points are doubled, but he does have some breathing room entering the final.
Five different competitors still have a shot at winning the MS Title.
Last but certainly not least the Crate Sportsman are going down the same path they have over the past several seasons.
Heading into the Double Point Show, Blake Parsons leads the charge of point contenders, however the twelfth-place point driver, Bryan Rhodes has a mathematical opportunity should everyone ahead of him have problems and this is where it gets interesting as the scenarios are endless as who can knock Parsons off the top spot.
When the Sportsman complete their twenty-five-lap feature everyone will be doing the math to see where their favorite driver has finished in the points.
