Wondering which dirt oval car to buy? The TLR 22S Sprint Car is the car more oval racers run than any other in 2026, with the 22S Dirt Late Model second, and the Traxxas Slash carries the Mudboss and modified classes. We counted the setups saved in the RC Setup App this year: 798 racers added or updated a setup for one of the 34 1/10 oval cars in the app during 2026. By class, that's 330 late model, 438 sprint car, 163 modified, 59 street stock and 48 midget racers, and a racer with cars in more than one class counts in each.
The percentage under each car is the share of racers in that class who run it. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved. Counts updated November 2026.

How we counted
We count anonymous totals from setups saved in the app for 1/10 oval cars, added or updated between January and November 2026, so this is what racers run now rather than what they have ever owned. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved, and nothing about who they are or where they race reaches this page. Versions of a car that share a setup sheet, like a dirt and a carpet edition, are counted together.
