NickHolt Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 2018 Sprint Car Bandits Series event statistics/season rReview to date Garland, Texas (08/08/18) - Now that we are in the homestretch for the 3rd season of the NCRA 360C.I. Sprint Car Bandits® (SCB) series, we thought you might be interested to see some of the compiled statistics, through the first 14 completed SCB events of the 2018 season. The Sprint Car Bandits series is all about the advancement of sprint car racing, taking in mind today’s economics, through helping team’s lower some of their operating costs on consumables with our rules package – while still competing for excellent purses, giving area tracks a more equitable solution for event costs, all while giving race fans quality sprint car racing events at family-friendly pricing. That all is great. But now let’s switch gears and move from ‘talk’ and go right to ‘action’, which is what really matters. -There have been 14 SCB events held in 2018, with 12 different feature winners: Wins Driver Car# 3 Michael Day 2 1 Scottie McDonald 88 1 Danny Jennings 1J 1 Michelle Melton 21 1 Jake Bubak 9X 1 Don Droud, Jr 1X 1 Kyle Jones 04 1 Justin Fifield 3 1 Dale Wester 12W 1 Jeb Sessums 01J 1 Dalton Steed 26 1 Justin Zimmerman #1 - Not one time in 2018 has a heat race pole sitter gone on to be top qualifier in the A-feature. Teams earn the top qualifying spot by their heat finishing position, with passing points, and no redraw or invert for the feature event. - Yet, in 14 events, only 4 top qualifiers have gone on to win the A-feature that night, and in all 4 of those cases, they all advanced from their heat starting spot to earn their #1 qualifier spot. - Here are the SCB #1 qualifiers after heat race starting/finishing positions in 2018: HOT – Tyson Hall Started 7th in heat, finished 2nd in heat to earn pole 105 – Marcus Thomas 7th to 3rd in heat to earn pole Superbowl – Dalton Stevens from 4th to win, to earn pole SOS – Danny Jennings from 7th to 2nd in heat to earn pole GCS – Gary Floyd from 4th to win heat, to earn pole 81 – Jeremy Campbell started 4th and won heat to earn pole 81 – Don Droud Jr. started 2nd and won heat to earn pole Superbowl – Michael Lang started 6th and won heat to earn pole GTRP – Colby Estes started 2nd and won heat to earn pole HOT – Dalton Steed started 6th and finished 2nd to earn pole KSP – Jeb Sessums started 5th and won heat to earn pole LoneStar – Tyson Hall started 8th and finished 2nd to earn pole 67 – Justin Zimmerman started 4th and won heat to earn pole RoseBowl – Beau Smith started 4th and won heat to earn pole - Here are the starting spots of all 14 SCB feature winners in 2018: HOT – 5th place starter won, Michael Day 105 – 3rd, Scottie McDonald Superbowl – 2nd, Michael Day SOS – 1st, Danny Jennings (started 7th in heat) GCS – 2nd, Michelle Melton 81 – 4th, Jeremy Campbell 81 – 1st, Don Droud Jr. (started 2nd in heat) Superbowl – 10th, Kyle Jones GTRP – 2nd, Justin Fifield HOT – 6th, Dale Wester KSP – 1st, Jeb Sessums (started 5th in heat) LoneStar – 2nd, Dalton Steed 67 – 1st, Justin Zimmerman (started 4th in heat) RoseBowl – 2nd, Michael Day Complete point standings are posted at the www.SprintCarBandits.com series for all 106 teams that have competed in the SCB series in 2018 at 11 different speedways within Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

We thank all the fans, teams, race track owners/workers, safety crews and Series sponsors for their support and hope that you enjoyed your nights of racing with us thus far. We have lots of exciting things already in the works for next season, and we’ll keep everyone apprised throughout the off-season, when it arrives in October. We also plan to keep our 2019 events schedule to specific amount, so if you’re a track that knows you want to host a SCB event, please contact us for available dates by emailing dssm493@yahoo.com – as 2019 events scheduling is already underway. Check out our rules package if you’re not familiar with the Series, as it only takes minutes to make your car Sprint Car Bandits-legal, at virtually no additional cost, for any sprint car of 360C.I. or under. Continued best of luck to everyone as the season marches on, and we hope that you enjoyed our Sprint Car Bandits statistical recap at this point in the 2018 season, and we hope to see you at Heart O’ Texas on August 24th for ‘MDA Night at the Speedway’ for another night of great sprint car racing action.
