AUSTIN, Texas (Jan. 23, 2023) — The 2023 Castrol® FloRacing Night in America point fund has been finalized. The champion will receive $75,000 if they have perfect attendance at all contested events or a guaranteed $50,000 without perfect attendance, which is up from $30,000 in 2022.
Additionally, the second-place finisher will receive $20,000 (up from $15,000 in 2022), while third in the final standings has been increased to $10,000.

With as much as $137,000 total point fund on the line, series officials are already busily preparing for the third year for the mega miniseries, which will see 13 races held at 12 venues in nine states.
The schedule includes 11 races paying $23,023 to win along with a pair of events during the third annual Peach State Classic weekend, which will respectively post a $20,000 top prize as well as a $54,054 winner’s check for the season finale. In total over $961,000 in purse money will be on the line.
