The MidwestDirt Late Model Series has announced a championship points fund for the 2009 season. The winner of the Championship points will receive at least $1000 in cash along with contingency prizes to be named at a later time.
With an increase in shows and car count the sum of the points fund has the potential to increase in amount, which is sure to fuel a competitive spirit for the Late Model community. The Series is still looking for more shows and at a total cost of $6925 is one of the most affordable tickets in the area, paying $1000 to win each race with $200 to start. With an aim focused on the local racers and fans this is a growing opportunity for all involved and we look forward to an increase in strength over the next several years.
Following is the points fund purse for the 2009 season. Keep in mind this is the MINIMUM amount that will be awarded:
