The 2026 SCCA® U.S. Majors Tour® included events around the country at more than 25 tracks from January to August as part of the Summit Racing Equipment SCCA Road Racing program. Enhancing the excitement across six different Conferences was a points-paying competition that engaged talented, wheel-to-wheel race car drivers throughout the season.
Within each Conference, points were awarded to the top 20 finishers in each car class. Winners earned 25 points per race, and 21 points went to runners-up. Points were then doled out to others starting with 18 and descending to a single point for the 20th finisher. Only the best eight finishes within a Conference counted towards a driver’s points total. The number of victories or best finishes a driver had in the class was then used to break ties when applicable.

3-2-1
There were as many as 25 different car classes in each Conference that could crown a Champion this year. The competition was stiff, and many Conference class Championships were decided by the slightest of margins.
A trio of points decided three Conference Champions. That included the Southeast Conference Prototype field in which Wade Richardson emerged victorious by three points over both Darryl Shoff and Lawrence Loshak. The same Conference saw a three-point spread in Spec MX-5, which was won by Skyler Cottrell over Jarrett Jones, followed by Weston Duchak a single point behind Jones. Touring 1 in the Southeast Conference also came down to three points with Wes Humphryes triumphant over James Candelaria.
Two points was the difference between Champions and runners-up in multiple Conferences. That was the spread in the Northern Conference when it came to Formula F with driver Brandon Lavender taking the top spot over Nic Sheppard. B-Spec saw the same thing in the Northeast Conference as Richard Hromin took down the title by two points over Zach Introne, and Brian Price was only two points further back.
The Northeast Conference also had a two-point difference in Formula Vee® as Alexander Smith won out over David Scaler. The same spread was the deciding factor in the same Conference when it came to the Spec MX-5 field, which Camden Gruber won over Michael Tinis.
The Southeast Conference was no stranger to two-point finishes either, starting with Formula Continental® driver Chris Scharnow taking the class Championship over Brandon Dixon. That Conference’s GT-2 battle was also decided by a pair of points as Jack Stanford emerged victorious over Stephen Sauers.
A couple of Conference Championships were even decided by a single point, including Formula 600 in the Northeast Conference where Dino LoDico claimed the crown by one point over Jay Beckley. The Southeast Conference then saw its Spec Miata class Championship come down to a solo point, too, as Travis Wiley finished the season atop the 136-entrant class by a single point over Bobby Gossett.
Totally Tied
The fact there are several Co-Champions in various classes across a few Conferences attests to the tight competition found within the U.S. Majors Tour. Take for instance the Northeast Conference’s Prototype class with Co-Champions being Darryl Shoff and Jason Fraley. That Conference also had a four-way tie for first in Touring 4 with Co-Champions being Gabe Fehribach, Kevin Fryer, Owen Schefer and Thomas Bogar.
The “tie” theme continued with Formula Continental in the Southern Conference as Bill Johnson and William Trimbur share the Championship there. The Formula Atlantic® battle in the Western Conference also sported a tie between Greg Labadie and James Blackwell; and Formula Atlantic in the Southern Conference has a points tie between Jarret Voorhies and Broch Evans. However, Voorhies claims the Championship in this instance on the strength of multiple runner-up results over the season.
Double Championships for Some
Eight devoted sports car aces managed to claim multiple Conference Championships. The list of those who doubled up in 2026 season is as follows:
– Tony Ave: E Production (Northeast Conf.), Super Touring® Under (Northern Conf.)
– Sherman Chao: Prototype 2 (Northeast Conf./Southeast Conf.)
– Bill Johnson: Formula Continental (Mid-States Conf./Southern Conf. Co-Champ)
– Michael Pettiford: Touring 1 (Mid-States Conf.), Touring 3 (Mid-States Conf.)
– Ross Murray: American Sedan® (Southern Conf./Western Conf.)
– Rylan Hazelton: Super Touring Under (Western Conf.), Touring 2 (Western Conf.)
– Darryl Wills: Formula Enterprises® 2 (Mid-States Conf./Southern Conf.)
– Kevin Fryer: Touring 4 (Southeast Conf./Northeast Conf. Co-Champ)
