As the No Prep Kings season hits the halfway mark, the competition is heating up, and the current Championship standings are a testament to the intense rivalry this season. After a thrilling event yesterday, Sean Ellington continues to make waves by securing his third Invitational win, positioning himself at the top of the leaderboard. He holds a narrow lead over Robin Roberts, with Giuseppe Gentile and Disco Dean following closely behind. Disco Dean’s consistent performance this season has kept him in a strong position, and fans are eager to see if he can maintain this momentum.

The rankings are stacked with some heavy hitters: Ryan, Justin, and Kye Kelley round out the top contenders, while Clay Cole, Scott Taylor, Paige, Bobby Ducote, Kayla, Jeff Lutz, Jerry Bird, and Chris Rankin are also making significant moves. Notably, Chris Rankin cracked the top 16 yesterday, showcasing a remarkable performance. However, Jim Howe has slipped to the 16th spot, and the fierce competition means no position is secure. Other notable racers like Birdman, Jimmy Taylor, Daddy Dave, Nate Sayler, Alex Laughlin, B-Rad , James Doc, John Odom, Dominator, and Cole Pesz are still in the mix, each aiming to climb up the standings.

With two more races left to qualify for the No Prep Elite Series playoffs, the stakes are incredibly high. Out of the 11 total races this season, eight have been points races, leaving six remaining, including the last race which will award double points. The next-to-last and third-to-last races will offer points and a half, making every upcoming event crucial for championship contenders.
As we reach the midpoint of the championship, the added points races mean that standings can shift dramatically. The last four races will feature only the top 16 cars, so those sitting around the 11th spot or lower need to step up their game. The competition is fierce, and with tracks like Las Vegas and Michigan on the horizon, known for their speed, it's anyone’s game.

Murder Nova has been a standout this season, consistently fast and reliable, which is reflected in his top position. However, with the level of competition and the unpredictability of No Prep racing, anything can happen. The Mustang driven by Cole Pesz, although joining the competition a bit late, has shown impressive potential. After winning the losers bracket yesterday, Cole Pesz’s car is expected to be a serious contender.

Stay tuned for more updates and analysis as the season progresses!
