Potential $75,000 for Castrol tour champ
The Castrol FloRacing Night in America miniseries has sweetened the pot for the 2022 championship, adding $45,000 to the champion's payout provided that driver competes in every series event.
The points-fund bonus would pay a champion with perfect attendance a whopping $75,000 on the second-year tour scheduled for 12 races at a dozen high-profile tracks including Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, Brownstown (Ind.) Speedway, Fairbury (Ill.) Speedway and Senoia (Ga.) Raceway, which hosts the $53,053-to-win finale.
"We really feel like we have something special with this 12-race series, and now we feel like we've made it even more special by adding this perfect attendance bonus," said Michael Rigsby, Vice President of Motorsports at FloRacing. "The fan engagement, the level of venues, and the massive viewing audiences already made our Castrol FloRacing Night in America events huge, and this only makes it bigger. Twelve races. And $75,000. I really do hope someone is able to pull it off!"
The $75,000 payout to a champion with perfect attendance is guaranteed even if rainouts or cancellations shorten the miniseries season.
If the tour champion doesn't have perfect attendance, the points fund reverts to the originally announced $30,000 for the title from a total points fund of $85,250. The series runner-up receives $15,000 with $8,000 for third, $7,000 for fourth and $6,000 for fifth. The sixth-place points finisher receives $5,000 with $4,000, $3,750, $3,500 and $3,000 going to the rest of the top 10. Points are tabulated using a driver's best 10 finishes.
With the exception of Senoia's finale, each Castrol tour event pays $22,022-to-win and $1,000-to-start. The series opens April 12 at Eldora and every miniseries race is streamed live at FloRacing.
