When FloRacing Night in America kicks off its season finale doubleheader at Senoia (Ga.) Raceway this Friday, four drivers will be in contention for the 2026 championship.
An ultra-tight point’s battle for the 2026 crown headlines the miniseries points. Brandon Sheppard holds a 9-point advantage atop the standings over Hudson O’Neal with Devin Moran 63 points out of the lead and Bobby Pierce 72 markers removed from the top spot.
With eight events completed in 2026 for FloRacing Night in America, and only a driver’s best eight finishes counting toward the title, the Peach State Classic offers the opportunity for drivers to replace their two lowest scores via their Friday and Saturday performances.

While he may enter the weekend fourth in the standings, the two-time and defending series champion Pierce perhaps has the most to gain in weekend action as he looks to replace a 3-point DNS effort from the June 3 Eldora Speedway event, where mechanical issues took him out of a transfer spot, on a night where series provisionals had not yet started for the year. A feature win this weekend at Senoia Raceway could see him replacing his season-low 3-point tally with an 87-point effort. Pierce also has a finish of ninth (60 pts) that he’ll look to improve upon.
Both Sheppard and O’Neal have been the model of consistency this year on the tour. Sheppard looks to replace finishes of seventh (66 pts) and a sixth (69 pts), while O’Neal looks to replace finishes of ninth (60 pts) and eighth (63 pts).
Moran also has considerable room to make-up ground with possible replacement scores for finishes of 15th(42 pts) and eighth (63 pts).

Should a tiebreaker be necessary for any spot in the final FloRacing Night in America standings, the tie will be resolved by the following qualifications from the 2026 FloRacing Night in America rulebook:
2.3 Tie Breakers: Any ties in point standings will be broken in the following order:
- A.) The first tiebreaker for any point’s position is number of wins.
- B.) Second tiebreaker for any point’s position is total number of events entered.
- C.) The third tiebreaker for any point’s position is total number of Top-5 finishes.
- D.) Final tiebreaker for any point’s position is total number of Top-10 finishes.
- E.) If all tied drivers meet all above requirements, then the nightly show-up money and/or point’s fund money will be divided equally between tied drivers.
With the tiebreakers in mind, here’s the latest stats for each championship eligible driver:
- Brandon Sheppard: 8 Events | 2 Wins | 6 Top-5 | 8 Top-10
