Alas, this is The End … of the 52nd Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships. The Sports Car Club of America can now reveal the second set of 45 rockstars who claimed victory in the classes that competed Thursday/Friday on the cement at Lincoln Airpark in Nebraska.
If you missed this year’s rock ‘n’ roll jam session packed with #funwithcars – which included great comradery, competition, plus a Battle of the Bites feast – don’t repeat that mistake in 2026 and start making plans now to be part of next year’s experience.
Want to relive some moments from this year’s event? Look no further than the Tire Rack SCCA National Solo and SCCA Official Facebook pages for videos and photos amassed over the week showing all the #funwithcars. Journalist Brian Bielanski has also been chatting with participants around the paddock to uncover slice-of-life stories for special Inside the SCCA segments, which can be checked out at The Racing Network YouTube page.
Finally, those posting content to social media on the drive home, please remember to tag photos and videos with #SoloNatsHasStarted and #funwithcars so others know you’re tremendous and others shouldn’t skip the Solo Nats confab next year.

Other Awards
During the final gathering at the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships on Friday afternoon/evening, a few more awards and trophies were presented before everyone hit the road for home. Those included:
Rothney-Kozlak Cup: Kim Whitener (sixth in E Street Touring; second time receiving this award)
This award is presented annually to the top finishing female driver participating in a championship-eligible Open class at the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships. The recipient will either have the widest margin of victory in an Open class (if one or more female drivers win) or the closest margin to the winner of an Open class (if no female driver wins an Open class championship) regardless of where she placed in the class. The cup is named in honor of Lynne Rothney-Kozlak for her leap of faith into open class competition at the SCCA Solo National Championships in 1994, decades of sustained competition in Open classes, and mentoring other women to advance their driving skills in SCCA Solo.
Bob Woods Cup: Steven Tang, UTA Racing
The Formula SAE class at the Solo Nationals is a supplemental class that allows college students who work hard at their programs the opportunity to test their speed against other colleges. The final piece of that puzzle is a capable driver, and the Bob Woods Award recognizes the quickest college student driver in the class.
Kiesel Guitars Top PAX Award: Rob Clark, D Street Prepared
Top PAX runners on each series of days (Tuesday/Wednesday and Thursday/Friday) earn a custom guitar from Kiesel Guitars, valued in excess of $4,000 each.
Small Fortune Racing FTD Award: Trent Ksionek, B Modified
