Mid-Season Championship Points Report
Points as of May 20th
The 2026 TotalCare Lone Star Dwarf Car Club season has reached the mid-season mark, and the championship battle is starting to take shape. Through a strong opening stretch filled with big car counts, slick track conditions, close racing, surprise finishes, and dominant performances, the points race remains highly competitive from the top spot through the rest of the field.
At the top of the standings, Colton Patterson leads the championship chase with 801 points. Patterson has been one of the most consistent drivers of the season so far, highlighted by a thrilling win at Heart O’ Texas Speedway after making a strong move for the lead late in the feature. His ability to stay near the front, capitalize on restarts, and finish races has helped him build the mid-season points lead.
Sitting second is Rawdy Hull with 740 points, just 61 points behind Patterson. Rawdy has kept himself firmly in championship contention with steady runs and strong finishes throughout the early part of the season. With plenty of racing still left, the gap between first and second remains very manageable.
In third is Chance Hull with 686 points, 115 points back from the lead. Chance has shown race-winning speed multiple times this season, including a dominant performance at RPM Speedway where he controlled the feature and proved he is one of the fastest cars in the field. Even with some tough breaks in previous events, Chance remains very much in the championship hunt.
Darren Hull currently holds fourth with 642 points, followed by Ricky Smith in fifth with 587 points. Both drivers have kept themselves inside the top five with solid, consistent performances. As the season continues, every heat race, every passing point, and every feature finish will become more important.
The middle of the standings is extremely tight. Dusty Jager sits sixth with 548 points, while Clayton Haapapuro is seventh with 500 points. Just behind them, Dillon Payne has 495 points, only five points behind Clayton. Landon Bellows and Don Crosby round out the top ten with 475 and 469 points, making the race inside the top ten one of the closest battles to watch.
Several drivers have also made strong impressions throughout the first half of the season. Richard Brooker sits 11th with 442 points, followed by Mason Jager with 402, DJ Jarrett with 388, and Jeff Patterson with 379. Jeff has already played a major role in one of the most memorable races of the season, leading laps at Boyd Raceway and finding himself in position to battle for the win after a wild turn of events.
The season has already produced several standout storylines. At Heart O’ Texas Speedway, the series faced a challenging slick racing surface that tested every driver in the field. Colton Patterson took advantage of a late-race opportunity and drove to an impressive feature win. At RPM Speedway, Chance Hull showed dominant speed, leading the way and proving how strong the Viper Racing Chassis program can be. At Boyd Raceway, the club returned after being away since 2023, and the feature delivered an unpredictable finish with multiple contenders seeing their night change quickly.
With the second half of the season still ahead, the championship is far from decided. Patterson may hold the lead, but Rawdy Hull, Chance Hull, Darren Hull, and Ricky Smith are all close enough to apply pressure. Behind them, the battles from sixth through fifteenth remain tight, and one strong night could quickly move a driver several positions up the standings.
The TotalCare Lone Star Dwarf Car Club has already delivered exciting racing, strong fields, and plenty of drama through the first half of the year. As the championship chase continues, consistency, clean finishes, and late-season momentum will decide who comes out on top.
