FIVE WORLD CHAMPIONS. ONE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT.

Saturday night, five racers earned the right to call themselves 2026 Sportsman World Champions here at Summit Motorsports Park!

This moment would not have been possible without Summit Racing Equipment, BluePrint Engines, PJH TrackBite, Fuel Factory, and Cornwell Quality Tools. In a matter of days, these five incredible sponsors came together to put up a $150,000 purse, giving our racers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete for a World Championship at America’s Racetrack.
