The Wheatley Chronicles – Volume III, No. 87

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (December 17, 2015) – When Jason Johnson made the move to the World of Outlaw ranks, the Rod End Supply Winged 360 Sprint Car Power Rankings throne had been vacated.

With the top spot up for grabs, an epic battle for the number one ranking ensued over the course of the 2015 season between Seth Bergman, Justin Sanders and Aaron Reutzel.

And when the final checkered flag finally flew, it was Snohomish, Washington, native Seth Bergman emerging atop the charts as the new number-one ranked driver in Rod End Supply Winged 360 Sprint Car Power Rankings.

Bergman took the top spot by 68 points over Sanders with Reutzel another 36 points back in third.

Taking in a majority of the ASCS National slate while also mixing in a variety of other events, Bergman tallied up 13 overall feature wins with Chico’s Silver Cup, Riverside’s Rock ‘N Roll 50, the Eagle Nationals and Skagit’s Summer Nationals among his triumphs.

In the Golden State, Prunedale’s Sanders put together a monster season with 20 feature wins that led to track titles at Ocean Speedway and Marysville Raceway Park and a runner-up finish in Civil War points.

Mixing in some 410-ci action along the way, Clute, TX, shoe Reutzel picked off ten wins in the 360-ci ranks while capturing his first career ASCS National championship.

Albuquerque native Johnny Herrera picked off nine overall wins to rank fourth and stands as the only driver to rank among the top five over each of the past three years after ranking second in 2013 and then fifth in 2014.

Oklahoma City native and current Knoxville resident Wayne Johnson rounds out this year’s top five with a handful of wins.

Pennsylvania’s Mark Smith is sixth with Arkansas’ Derek Hagar, California’s Andy Forsberg, Ontario’s Mitch Brown and California’s Shane Golobic rounding out this year’s top ten.

Herrera is the only driver to rank among the top ten over each of the past three years while Sanders, Smith, Hagar, Brown and Golobic all finished among the final top ten for the first time.
