Participants must race a series of qualifying races and the state championship to earn a state ranking based on cumulative points during the year.
Those bringing home a state ranking included: Davis Hunt, No. 2 12-year-old Intermediate; Aiden Loorham, No. 4 11-year-old Intermediate; Clancy Loorham No. 8 14-year-old Intermediate; Caleb Heard, No. 4 12-year-old Novice; Fain Barton No. 3 9-year-old Novice and Luke Barton, No. 2 35 and older Cruiser Class. Other racers from Rome competing in the State Championship race but ineligible for a state ranking were Cooper Brock, Nate Smith, fourth 9-year-old Novice and Trey Smith, second 41-over Intermediate.
