Bryan Hulbert – DRUMRIGHT, Okla. (February 22, 2023) Less than a month away from the start of the 2023 season at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway Spring Nationals on Friday, March 17, and Saturday, March 18, the National Tour of the American Sprint Car Series will again chase their share of a $200,000 point fund during the tour’s 32nd year.
Increased last season by series owner, Terry Mattox, the goal is to continue to build the tour up and, with it, keep adding money to events throughout the season.
“With Lucas Oil backing down across the board, there has been rumor spreading, and I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I am not cutting anything. To say this wasn’t a setback would be false. It stopped me from increasing the point fund as originally planned, but I won’t be going backward either. Just another hurdle to clear in making things better.
The end-of-season payout breaks down like this: Champion $50,000; 2nd $30,000; 3rd $25,000; 4th $20,000; 5th $15,000; 6th $14,000; 7th $13,000; 8th $12,000; 9th $11,000; 10th $10,000
Looking at the overall lineup of events, $1,250,000 is set to be paid out throughout the 2023 season. A breakdown of event pay-to-win/start and appearance money for eligible teams is available at https://www.ascsracing.com/series-info/rules.aspx.
The 2023 season consists of 48 dates at 25 tracks across ten states. Two dates are currently TBA and will be updated once details are confirmed.

Membership carries a secondary insurance policy from Reel Media will be issued to each paid member, $5,000 for accidental death & dismemberment, $50,000 for medical accident (with $10,000 deductible or any available track insurance, whichever is higher, see policy for details).
