Three of the five drivers who earned championships in our Kansas Points are first timers, well at least in the Sunflower state, while two others add to their list of titles. All of our state points are tallied using a five-point scale that applies to all events in the state, both weekly races and special events.
One of those first-time Kansas Points champions is Eli Ross who ran off with the Late Model title winning seven times in his nine top five finishes in the state. In 2025 Eli tied for the Oklahoma Points title with Kip Hughes, so this is actually his second state title in our system. His brother Hayden Ross wrapped up the 2022 Oklahoma Points title just before his tragic death in a four-wheeler accident. Joseph Gorby and the two-time and defending champion Josh Leonard tied for second with each of them winning once in five top fives.
Nobody was hotter in the final month of the season than Kansas Points Stock Car champion Jayce Reimer as the Hutchinson based driver swept the three day weekend in Hugoton this past weekend against some of the regions best. Those three victories gave him twelve of his twenty-three top fives as he scores his first Kanas Points title. Lakeside Speedway regular Kacey Shields is a distant second winning five times in fourteen top five finishes while Doug Holzmeister is just one point behind him in third posting three feature wins in eighteen top fives.
The third "first time" Kansas Points champion is in the Winged Sprint Cars as Taylor Velasquez tops the chart on the strength of three wins in ten top five outings on Kansas tracks. Three-time and defending champion Jeremy Huish settles for second with three checkers in eight top fives while Jordan Knight and Koby Walters tie for third. Walters was a winner twice in nine top five efforts while Knight scored points in ten events, but did not crack victory lane.
Clay Money returns to the top of the Modified list for the third time as he was also the Kansas Points champion in 2019 and 2021. Money scored three feature wins in sixteen top five finishes the season to finish ahead of the Lagroons. Corey is the runner-up with fifteen top fives that resulted in five feature wins while Cale takes third earning points in twenty race nights that resulted in one feature win.
Last and definitely not least, Tyler Kidwell rolls up his third straight and eighth overall Kansas Points Limited Modified Championship in this, our eleventh year of tracking the state. Seventeen feature wins in twenty-one top fives boosted Kidwell's total over the century mark again this year while division rookie Cody Williams is the runner-up after winning six times in twenty-one top fives. The only driver to top Kidwell in these standings the last nine years, Tyler Watts takes third posting six wins in seventeen top fives.
Check back in on the Back Stretch tomorrow as we will wrap up the 2026 season in Oklahoma!
