SWEDESBORO, NJ — The time has come. A season’s worth of racing, battling, passing and chasing points comes down to Championship Night at Bridgeport Motorsports Park!
This Saturday night, the Kingdom of Speed will crown its 2026 champions in the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modifieds and Victory Fuel Wingless Sprint Cars, and while one championship leader has some breathing room, the battles behind him are anything but settled.
Ryan Godown enters Championship Night with a comfortable advantage atop the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modified standings, putting him in prime position to claim the 2026 championship.
But behind Godown, it’s a dogfight! Just 25 points separate second through fifth, and every position, every pass and every lap could make the difference.
Dillon Steuer and Ryan Krachun are tied for second, while Neal Williams sits just 16 points behind the pair. And don’t count out Dominic Buffalino, who enters the night only 25 points out of second.
Four drivers. Twenty-five points. And one final points race to settle it! There will be no cruising around the High Banks Saturday night. With championship positions and bragging rights on the line, expect the elbows to be up from the drop of the green flag!
The Victory Fuel Wingless Sprint Cars will also crown their 2026 champion Saturday night.
Jonathon Swanson enters the finale holding a 28-point advantage over Wayne Scott, while Stan Ploski III sits another 18 points behind Scott in third.
One night remains. One championship trophy awaits. On the High Banks, nothing is guaranteed until the final checkered flag falls!
The Demers Heating & Cooling Sportsman Modifieds battle is heating up with their championship finale coming one week later.
Jesse Hirthler has controlled the top spot for much of the season and currently holds a comfortable advantage in the championship standings.
But just like the Modifieds, the fight behind the leader is incredibly tight! PJ Bozowski and Matt Ellery are currently tied for second, with Ellery holding the tiebreaker thanks to his two feature victories this season. Matt Peck remains within striking distance, just 41 points back in fourth.
With another full night of points racing before their September 19 championship showdown, there is still plenty that can change!
Also joining the Championship Night program will be the Mod Lites, adding another division of wheel-to-wheel action to a huge night at the Kingdom of Speed.
The championship battles may be reaching their conclusion, but Bridgeport’s 2026 season is far from finished. On Saturday, September 19, the USAC Wingless Sprint Cars return to the High Banks, joining Championship Night for the Sportsman Modifieds, Street Stocks and 4 Cylinder Stock Cars.
Then circle September 25 & 26 on the calendar! Bridgeport kicks off its end-of-the-year special-event schedule with the Danny Serrano Weekend, featuring the Modifieds going 60 LAPS for $7,000 TO WIN, while the Sportsman battle for 35 LAPS and $2,000 TO WIN!
The Danny Serrano Weekend will also mark the final race of 2026 for the Modifieds at Bridgeport Motorsports Park. But first, there are championships to decide. One final points night.
