August 23, 2020, St. Louis Region – World Wide Technology Raceway’s 2020 Carl’s 4WD & Performance ET Bracket Racing Series concluded at 1:30 a.m. on August 23. Due to a rainout earlier in the month, the season ended with two complete bracket series events run in one day. A total of 365 cars and motorcycles entered the one-day, two-show event.

Between Wide Open Wednesday (August 19), Midnight Madness (August 21) and the bracket series finale on August 22, a total of 986 individual race entries competed at the NHRA-sanctioned drag strip located in Madison, Illinois, just five minutes from downtown St. Louis.

 

2020 Bracket Series champions:

Super Pro – Kevin Prior won the final in the sixth and last race of the series and claimed the title.

Pro – Clay Tyler won over John Ratulowski using tiebreakers.

Sportsman – Aaron Hagen was third in points going into the final day but managed to claim his second consecutive title.

Motorcycle – Going into Saturday, Scott Leonard just about had it won and only needed to go a few rounds to clinch.

Jr. Dragster Thunder – Sarah Stewart won her second consecutive championship. Sarah had a perfect season, winning five of the six races. The driver’s worst points race is thrown out; hence Sarah was five-for-five.
