There are so many talented Super Late Model drivers in the county but these 20 are the ones I feel are on another level. This is my top 20 Super Late Model rankings for the 2020 season.

20. Shane Clanton #25. Shane had a pretty successful 2019 season coming off with 8 wins and has committed to run the Lucas Oil Late Model Tour in 2020.

19. Dale McDowell #17m. Dale has been fast right out of the gate this year picking up a win at Volusia during speed weeks. He looks to continue his early success going forward in his 36^th year of racing.

18. Chase Junghans #18. Chase has really been improving year after year and showed a lot of promise at the Wild West Shootout in January. Chase also picked up a Strawberry Dash win at East Bay Raceway in Gibsonton, Florida.

17. Billy Moyer Jr. #21.  Billy Moyer Jr. made the switch to Capital Chassis race cars this year. After being involved bad wreck to start the year in early January, BMJ bounced back during speed weeks with some very strong top 5 finishes.

16. Darrell Lanigan #29. “The Bluegrass Bandit” is coming off 4 wins in 2019 and has ran very strong to start the year in 2020 picking up multiple top 10s during speed weeks.

15. Mason Zeigler #25z. Mason was fairly quiet in 2019 but started 2020 off with a bang picking up an exciting win during speed weeks. He had also been running up front all week but had unfortunate issues to cause DNFs.

14. Kyle Bronson #40B. Kyle is a throttle smasher and it pays off. After a horrific wreck with Jonathan Davenport early in speed weeks he got out his backup car and had good success finishing in the top 10.

13. Bobby Pierce #32. Bobby is another throttle smasher with the ironic nickname of “The Smooth Operator”. Pierce hasn’t had luck on his side so far this year but because of his amazing resume, the 23 year old wheel man makes my list.

12. Mike Marlar #157. Mike now 2 years removed from his 2018 WOO championship looks to get back to his winning ways in 2020 already picking up one in the World of Outlaws series at Smoky Mountain Speedway.

11. Devin Moran #9. Devin has always showed speed and potential from years past but finally put it all together and had an outstanding speed weeks picking up a win and multiple top 5s at East Bay. This early success may come as a surprise to many beings he has bounced around from team to team the last few years but I think he’s got a good one here with Tye Twarog Racing.

10. Brian Shirley #3s. “The Squirrel” got off to a steaming hot start in 2020 picking up 3 wins out of the 6 races during the Wild West Shootout and has had some consistently good runs since.

9. Brandon Overton #76. “Big Sexy” made the move from Rum Runner Motorsports to Wells & Sons this year. He has been another one of those drivers who just needs a bit of luck to go his way. He has three 2^nd place finishes this year that could’ve ended up in wins.

8. Tyler Erb #1. “Terbo” started off his year in Australia where he picked up the win down under. He had a relatively quiet speed weeks only getting one top 5 but he had really good speed every night just had some qualifying issues.

7. Josh Richards #14. “The Rocket Man” has started off his 2020 season a bit slow with only one podium finish. He is still this high up because he has a resume that anyone would be proud to have.

6. Ricky Weiss #7. “The Manitoban Missile” started off his season right collecting a win, a 3^rd, and a 5^th place finish at the Vado Speedway Park. Ricky also has a great racing resume wining 5 Wissota national championships.

5. Chris Madden #0M. “Smokey” won pretty much every race that was 50k or more to win last year and won the very first race of the 2020 season and has had 3 more top 5s.

4. Tim McCreadie #39. “T-Mac” switched teams to Paylor Motorsports for 2020 and started it off right winning the first race of the Lucas oil tour series at Golden Isles Speedway. He also picked up another win at East Bay and one more at Volusia.

3. Jonathan Davenport #49 “Superman” is the Defending Lucas Oil tour champion and looks to get his 4^th championship this year. His 2020 season started off a bit rough but he eventually found victory lane at All-Tech Raceway.

2. Jimmy Owens #20. “The Newport Nightmare” struggled with consistency early in the season but when speed weeks shifted to Volusia he won 3 nights in a row to end speed weeks. Funny how he went from never winning a race at Volusia in his Hall of Fame career to knocking off 3 in a row.

1. Brandon Sheppard #1 “B-Shepp” is coming off of a stellar 2019 season that saw him claim the World of Outlaws tour championship. He started his 2020 season at Vado Speedway Park with three 2^nd place finishes. He then drove his family owned late model at the Wild West Shootout where he found himself in victory lane 3 out of the 6 nights and never finished worse than 4^th.  During Speed weeks he picked up another 4 wins and a total of 9 top 3s with a worse finish of 10^th in the 10 races he took apart of.
