Best of the Midwest 2016 - Sprint Cars and Limited Modifieds

After compiling the state point standings for thirteen different states using the same 5-point scale in 2016 it dawned on me that I could throw them all together and have one final ranking for the four divisions that were common across all of them.

In today's "Best of the Midwest for 2016" I list the Sprint Cars and the Limited Modifieds. The Sprint Cars are a roll up of all of the winged divisions, 305, 360 and 410 with Aussie Ian Madsen topping the list enjoying considerable success in both the 410 and 360 ranks this past season.

The Limited Modifieds are a mash up of the Sport Mods, B-Mods and Midwest Modifieds with two-time All Iowa Points champion Tony Olson leading the way.

The Best of the Midwest for Late Models and Modifieds will be here on the Back Stretch in a couple of weeks as those two divisions still have two more features each to run with the Gateway Dirt Nationals.
