West Coast Sports Compacts 2026 – Points Update after Ventura Raceway (July 11)

What a season it’s been! After the latest stop at Ventura Raceway, here’s how the points battle is shaping up:

🏆 1st – #33 D. Cosens III – 916
🥈 2nd – K. Thompson – 826
🥉 3rd – #88 N. Thompson – 814
4th – #75 J. Durant – 714
5th – D. Myrick – 580

Cosens continues to lead the way with a solid 90-point cushion over K. Thompson, while N. Thompson sits just 12 points behind in the battle for 2nd. Durant holds a strong 4th, and Myrick rounds out the top five.
Still plenty of racing left and lots of points on the table. The fight for the championship (and those top-5 spots) is far from over!

📌Attention competitors in the WCSC 📌
PSA

If we want to continue having a place to race on, it starts with all of us. That means every driver, every team, every crew member, every family member, and everyone associated with our race teams.

Before taking frustrations to social media to criticize the track, officials, or other drivers and teams. Let us remember that we all represent something bigger than ourselves. We represent our sponsors, our fans, our families, and the WCSC class as a whole.

Let's show All the tracks we race at just how respectful, competitive, and professional our class can be. Race hard, race clean, and race with respect for one another. Have fun, be smart behind the wheel, and remember that not everything that happens on the track is within our control.

At the end of the night, every one of us wants to load our race cars in one piece and make it home safely. Let's work together to build a class that people are proud to be a part of and one that tracks are excited to have on their schedule.

Be smart. Be respectful. Support one another. Let's protect the future of the WCSC. Have a great Sunday

Please share with our fellow competitors
