Who Will Win the Solo Nats? Prepared Category

While the Sept. 1-5, 2025, Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships is careening wildly toward us, at the same time, it can’t get here soon enough. With more than 1,300 drivers getting ready for this year’s rock-and-roll themed Solo National Championships in Lincoln, NE, we don’t think we’re the only ones ready for this near sold-out performance to take center stage.

Let’s get this straight: We’ve not been driven crazy waiting for the Solo Nats. There’s no outright hysteria going on. We’re just saying that it’s time for the event to start already – and with such a great theme, come on, let’s get rocked!

Since we have some time, let’s think about who’s going to rocket to the top in the Prepared category with some member-voted polls, which you’ll find below. But first…

Our Best Guess

Because SCCA's staff has tons of spare time as we prepare to host this gargantuan event, we decided to also take guesses as to who we think will win. Here’s who made our list:

  • XP: Dave Montgomery
  • XPL: Holly Schwedler
  • CP: Robert Lewis
  • CPL: Tracy Lewis
  • DP: Todd Roberts
  • EP: Patrick Washburn
  • FP: Wes Hughson

Now You!

Below are polls where YOU vote for who YOU think will win in these classes.

These polls hopefully have everyone’s names included, but there may be a few missing as any last-minute class jumping often leaves us looking the fool (since we make these polls a few weeks before Solo Nats because the poll-making process is incredibly manual). And pro tip: you can vote daily.

Then, if you like these polls, check out some of the others that are already posted.

Right now, however, it’s time for action – you tell us who’s armageddon it
