Nightly Purses Increased to $22,002-to-win and $1,000-to-start; Points Fund Increased to $85,000 with $30,000 Earmarked for Champion
AUSTIN, Texas (Nov. 22, 2021) — On the heels of a great inaugural campaign in 2021, the Castrol® FloRacing Night in America tour is ready to storm into 2022. More races, more tracks, and more money headline the tour’s upcoming docket.
“While Mother Nature threw every curveball imaginable at us in 2021, we still enjoyed a great first year, and now we are geared up for 2022,” said miniseries general manager, Ben Shelton. “Due to the support of our great marketing partners, we’ve been able to amp up both our nightly purses and point’s fund for 2022. Nightly purses have been increased by over $27,000 to now pay at least $22,022 to win and $1,000 to start. Additionally, our point’s fund has grown from $62,500 to $85,250. The Top 10 in the final standings will receive a portion of the point fund with $30,000 earmarked for the champ.
“We thank all of the sponsors, racers, and fans who supported us in year one, and we look forward to seeing everyone in 2022.”
