BATAVIA, Ohio — The Arizona Sport Shirts Crown Jewel Cup returns in 2023, adding a worthwhile bonus to an already lucrative season on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.
The mini-series within the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series schedule consists of 16 events that pay $30,000 or more to the winner. Drivers with perfect attendance on the tour will earn points in the 16 events based on their respective finishes.
The driver that earns the most points in the Crown Jewel Cup events will be crowned the Arizona Sport Shirts Crown Jewel Cup Champion – earning a $15,000 cash bonus at the year-end awards banquet.
The drivers who finish second through fifth in the Crown Jewel Cup standings will earn $6,000, $4,000, $3,000, and $2,000 in cash, respectively for a total point fund of $30,000 for the 16 events.
