STARS National Series To Have Presence At Snowball Derby

MACON, Ill. — During this weekend’s Snowball Derby at Five Flags (Fla.) Speedway, STARS National Series officials will be on-site to spread the word on the new series. 

“We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to stop by and discuss things with us, whether they have a thought regarding a process or rule, or someplace they would like to see us visit in the years to come,” said Joe Balash, Director of Race Operations.  “We look forward to seeing everyone at Five Flags Speedway and to meet some new people that we have not had the pleasure of speaking with.”

The schedule for the inaugural series in 2023 is tentatively set to be announced next week at the PRI Show in Indianapolis, Ind. 

The STARS National Tour will be a 10-race series in 2023, visiting the premier paved short tracks in the United States. A national champion will be crowned in November of 2023 at the All-American 400 at the Nashville (Tenn.) Fairgrounds Speedway.

A $100,000 championship point fund (minimum) has been confirmed, which will pay the top ten in final standings, including a $25,000 to the series champion.
