McMahan Leads, Montieth on the Move in STIDA Power Rankings

The Wheatley Chronicles – Volume III, No. 25

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (April 7, 2015) – Paul McMahan continues to hold down the top spot in STIDA Winged 410 Sprint Car Power Ranking going into a trio of World of Outlaws events this week beginning with Wednesday night’s Placerville card and then a Calistoga double on Saturday and Sunday.

With the Outlaws idle this past weekend, the top 13 in STIDA Winged 410 Power Rankings remained the same with Dale Blaney the first mover by advancing a pair of positions to 14th after a top-five finish in Saturday’s All Star opener.

After picking off his second Lincoln Speedway win in a row, Brian Montieth climbed three positions to 17th with others breaking into the top 25 including Tanner Thorson (after his first Sprint Car feature win at Chico on Friday), Danny Dietrich and Attica All Star victor Ryan Smith.
