Sam Hafertepe Jr. dominated the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series in four races this year, while two non-series regulars grabbed victories in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series.

Hafertepe's four-race winning streak to start the season already doubles the best in series history, and he is showing no sign of slowing down.

Brian Brown's and Rico Abreu's wins in Arizona showed that the series Goliaths could be beaten, and it slowed the early-season momentum of Donny Schatz.
