2019 Fall Brawl Favorites, Dark Horses & Qualifying Order

Image

Tonight is Pole Night for the Super Late Mode division, in the 5th Annual H&H Sign Supply Fall Brawl Spectacular. With a stacked entry list looking to lock their way into the 250-lap main event, we have ranked the drivers from "Favorites" down to "Dark Horses". With 53 total entries, it will be a task for drivers just to make the show, as over 20 cars will be sent home early.

Here's how we stacked up the entry list:

(*These rankings are for fun, unofficial, and for entertainment purposes only. Drivers are listed in ABC order by first name, in each category.*)


The Favorites

The drivers listed below should be expected to be seen at the front of the field, leading laps and contending for the win. These 7 drivers combine for nearly 220 career SARA victories, and will be looking to add their names to the list of Fall Brawl Winners.

- Alex McCollum - Alex has been extremely fast as of late, picking up a Super Series win to close out the Summer Season, and he just added another one last week at Myrtle Beach.

- Colin Allman - Colin picked up a win and a 2nd place finish last time the Super Series ran at Five Flags during the Summer Season, and is usually running up inside the top five on any given night. Best Fall Brawl finish: 19th

- Dallas Pataska - Dallas has consistently shown he has speed in qualifying, racking up a number of poles over the last couple seasons, and finally broke through last season and added a couple wins as well. Best Fall Brawl finish: 3rd

- Devon Morgan - Devon is the defending Super Series champion from the Summer Season, with a couple wins and never finishing outside of the top 4, plus he's been adding wins on both asphalt and dirt consistently. Best Fall Brawl finish: 30th

- Jimmy Mullis - Jimmy is a Super Series champion as well and continues to be a top driver in the series each week, recently picking up a win in the season opener at NHMS. Best Fall Brawl finish: 2nd

- Joe Schaffer Jr. - Joe is a multi-time SARA champion, including 4 Super Series titles. He also just recently notched his 50th career SARA victory with a win at Oxford in the Summer Season. Best Fall Brawl finish: 5th

- Ty Majeski - Ty has a couple Fall Brawl wins to his name, but they've come in the support divisions. The Super Late Model victory has eluded him so far, but with the most wins in SARA history, Ty should be a threat. Best Fall Brawl finish: 2nd


In Contention

The drivers listed below should be expected to have solid runs and will likely run near the top half of the field. Under the right circumstances, it wouldn't be a surprise if any of these guys ended up in victory lane or on the podium.

- Brandon Wilkinson - Brandon has been super consistent of late in the Super Series, with 8 straight top 10 finishes. He's also been pretty good in major events over the past year. Best Fall Brawl finish: 4th

- Derek Robinson - While Derek has been spending his SLM days in the Contender Series lately, he's been one of the most consistent Fall Brawl drivers over the years with a pair of top 10's and no finishes worse than 14th. Best Fall Brawl finish: 4th

- Dylan Bates - Dylan has improved quite a bit recently, and has moved up into the Super Series where his speed has continued to show, including in his runner up finish in the season opener at NHMS.

- Ian Layne - Ian took a long break from SARA competition, but since his return, he's been fast nearly every week. He picked up a SLM victory in our Fall Mini-Season and also won the championship for that 4 week series. Best Fall Brawl finish: 8th

- Jacob Harberts - Jacob has been pretty good in the Contender Series, usually battling inside the top five and for wins in the series. That kind of speed should translate over into a bigger event like the Fall Brawl.

- Kyle Ely - Kyle is another driver that has been strong in the Contender Series, and has used that to move up into the Super Series where he has three top 10's in just 5 starts so far.

- Samuel Roush - Last season probably didn't go as well as he would have liked. But we know his team has speed, and he's coming off back-to-back 5th place finishes in the Fall Brawl, so he should have a pretty good run once again in this year's event. Best Fall Brawl finish: 5th

- Ty Spearman - Not to pick on Ty, but it's been a while since he's reach victory lane in SARA. Since his last win however, he's had a bunch of top 5's and top 10's in both the Super Series and Contender Series, and he's had strong runs in the Fall Brawl before. Best Fall Brawl finish: 8th


In The Mix

The drivers listed below should have a good shot at making the race, and as long as they qualify, the could have some decent runs. They may or may not contend for the win, but someone on this list could definitely break thru for a strong finish.
