Are you ready to rock? You better be, because the 2025 Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships is not only themed for a rock-and-roll performance, it’s also quickly approaching, with the winner-take-all National Championship autocross taking place at Lincoln Airpark in Lincoln, NE, on Sept. 1-5.

The last few years have brought a sold-out crowd to Lincoln – and why shouldn’t it? Even though the Solo Nationals is where we crown the best of the best, it’s also an event that’s for everyone regardless of skill level or experience. It also features weeklong paddock parties and time spent with some of the best people on the planet.
But this year’s event didn’t sell out. What gives?
Efficiency! Because we’ve got it bad, got it bad, got it bad, we’re hot for operational efficiency – and that efficiency allowed SCCA’s Solo department to up the entry count to 1,400 total, allowing just about everyone a spot in the big show.
Yet while we love talking about achieving efficiency, right now it’s time to jump into this year’s “Who Will Win the Solo Nats?” predictions.
Over the course of several days, we presented polls category by category, with just about every entry listed in every class. Fans voted for who they thought would win. The results are below.
But First…
…We’ll bait the water with some of our own picks to win:
- SS: James Yom
- SSL: Nicole Wong
- AS: Billy Davis
- ASL: Shelly Monfort
- BS: Charles Krampert
- BSL: Jennifer Bedell
- CS: Julian Garfield
- CSL: Maria Pallotta
- DS: DJ Alessandrini
- DSL: Emily Whitaker
- ES: Bartek Borowski
- ESL: Karen Babb
- FS: Sam Strano
- FSL: Cindy Duncan
- GS: John Azevedo
- GSL: Diane Austin
- HS: Ron Williams
- HSL: Meredith Bunsawat
Because we assembled these polls a week or so before the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships, any last-minute entry shuffling means a few drivers may appear in the wrong polls. See more “Who Will Win the Solo Nats?” results.
Why are we so committed to these predictions and polls? Because we love the Solo Nats, and when love walks in, it’s something you can’t ignore.
