Over
$825,000 Up for Grabs in 2023 for Schaeffer’s Oil Spring
and Southern Nationals Competitors!
(December
9, 2022) As day two of the Performance Racing Industry
(PRI) show gets underway today, promoter Ray Cook is proud to
release the 2023 version of both the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring
Nationals Series and Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals
Series schedules. Featuring 26 dates in all, both tours combine
to offer drivers more than $825,000 in purse and point money -
making this upcoming year the most lucrative in the history of
both miniseries. Ray has beefed up the purse structure in certain
areas and none of the 26 scheduled events will shell out less
than $7,553 to the winner.
“I feel like for a regional tour, we’ve been able
to put together a pretty nice package for both our family of tracks
and the drivers that race with us,” quoted Cook while attending
the PRI trade show in Indianapolis, Indiana. “With the help
of our partners and the support from our great track promoters,
we’ve been able to add a little to the purses in certain
areas and pay no less than $7,553 to win and $500 to start. When
we started this thing years ago, a lot of our races were $3,500
to win, but we’ve steadily been trying to raise the bar
as much as we can and I’m really excited about both of our
series schedules heading into the 2023 season!”
The Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals tour will get underway
on March 3-4 with a pair of $10,053 to win battles at Swainsboro
Raceway in Swainsboro, Georgia and Senoia Raceway in Senoia, Georgia.
From there, the miniseries will make its first-ever appearance
at Buckshot Speedway in Clanton, Alabama before heading to East
Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama, Wythe Raceway
in Rural Retreat, Virginia, Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee,
Crossville Speedway in Crossville, Tennessee, Lake Cumberland
Speedway in Burnside, Kentucky, Clarksville Speedway in Clarksville,
Tennessee, Tri-County Race Track in Brasstown, North Carolina,
Rome Speedway in Rome, Georgia, I-75 Raceway in Sweetwater, Tennessee,
Boyd’s Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia, and Duck River Raceway
Park in Wheel, Tennessee.
In all, fourteen events will be held at those fourteen different
venues in just six weekends from March 3-May 28. Eight races will
pay $10,053 to the winner while five Spring Nationals contests
will boast a $7,553 payday. The most lucrative show on the slate
will once again be the 3rd Annual ‘Lil Bill Corum Memorial’
held at the high-banks of Tazewell (TN) Speedway on Saturday evening,
April 8, as the single day showdown features a $21,000 top prize
out of a $64,000 total purse. The Schaeffer’s Oil Spring
Nationals Champion will once again receive $10,053 for their efforts
and each competitor with perfect attendance will receive point
money following the series finale at Duck River (TN) Raceway Park
on Sunday, May 28.
Aside from a few minor tweaks, the 2023 Schaeffer’s Oil
Southern Nationals Series schedule mirrors exactly what it looked
like last season. The twelve race miniseries will once again be
held in only sixteen days from July 14-29. The barnstorming tour
will start at Beckley Motor Speedway in Mount Hope, West Virginia
before snaking through the Southeast to host events at Wythe Raceway
in Rural Retreat, Virginia, Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee,
I-75 Raceway in Sweetwater, Tennessee, Senoia Raceway in Senoia,
Georgia, East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama,
Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Georgia, Swainsboro Raceway
in Swainsboro, Georgia, Toccoa Raceway in Toccoa, Georgia, Tri-County
Race Track in Brasstown, North Carolina, Boyd’s Speedway
in Ringgold, Georgia, and Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee.
The series is split up evenly in that six of the Southern Nationals
specials will pay $10,053 to win while the other six showdowns
will boast a $7,553 paycheck. For the nineteenth straight year
of the miniseries existence, the tour will conclude its season
at the bad-fast Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee on Saturday,
July 29. The Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Champion
will once again receive $10,053 for their efforts and each competitor
with perfect attendance will receive point money. A $1,000 check
will also be earmarked for the tour’s Rookie of the Year.
